Prior to his appointment at USC, Dr Chris Askew was a research fellow at the School of Medicine at the University of Queensland where he is still a member of the Peripheral Vascular Research Group.
He has conducted a wide range of applied experimental projects and clinical studies in the areas of exercise physiology, cardiovascular physiology, muscle metabolism and exercise therapy.
He is particularly interested in the acute and chronic physiological effects of ischemia and hypoxia, and how these relate to exercise intolerance in conditions such as peripheral arterial disease.
Dr Askew is currently overseeing a series of studies investigating the relationship between calf muscle fatigue and blood flow, and he is also investigating the causes and impacts of muscle atrophy (muscle wasting) in peripheral arterial disease.
Dr Askew recently studied the effects of acute posture-change on blood flow during exercise, and in November 2006 he took part in a parabolic flight campaign in France investigating the effects of weightlessness during movement.
This work is continuing in collaboration with the German Sport University.
Dr Askew is the coordinator of the on campus phase-II cardiac rehabilitation program which is operated in conjunction with the Queensland Health Sunshine Coast Health Service District.
He is currently a member of the National Board of the Australian Association of Exercise and Sport Science.
