Presentation: The contribution of the nervous system to fatigue with exercise

Janet Taylor is a Professor of Human Neurophysiology in the School of Medical and Health Sciences at Edith Cowan University. Her research interest is the control of human movement by the nervous system and she has over 170 peer-reviewed publications in the area. Her work focuses on how the motor pathway changes in response to activity such as fatiguing exercise, stimulation of the brain or nerves, and training or practice of motor tasks. 

Her aim is to better understand how the nervous system contributes to decrements in performance with muscle fatigue, and also to improvements in motor performance with practice in health and disease. Currently, she is a Senior Editor for the Journal of Physiology and an Associate Editor for Exercise and Sports Science Reviews.
