Hi there! I’m Dr. Rylea Hart, and I’m passionate about everything related to exercise sciences. With a PhD in Exercise Sciences from the University of Auckland and years of experience across research, teaching, and coaching, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of athletes - from enthusiastic youth athletes to Olympic medalists.

 

My professional experiences include developing cutting-edge AI-driven performance models for Olympic athletes, teaching in university courses in exercise sciences (e.g., biomechanics, physiology, exercise testing and training), and designing strength and conditioning programmes for youth athletes. Regardless of my role, my goal is always the same: to empower people to move better, train smarter, and achieve their potential.

 

Outside of the lab and gym, I’ve tried my hand at many sports, some of which to national levels, including cricket, squash, volleyball, rugby, running, and Olympic weightlifting, giving me a well-rounded perspective on athletic development. Through this blog, I’ll be sharing insights, tips, and reflections from my journey in the world of exercise science. Let’s explore the exciting intersection of science and sport together!
