Modelling active play in preschool children using machine learning. This interdisciplinary project explores novel machine learning approaches to modelling physical activity data in preschool children. The approach taken is considered the future of physical activity assessment and is expected to substantially enhance the measurement of physical activity and the evidence base that informs strategies to improve population health through physical activity promotion. The project aims to transform the ....Modelling active play in preschool children using machine learning. This interdisciplinary project explores novel machine learning approaches to modelling physical activity data in preschool children. The approach taken is considered the future of physical activity assessment and is expected to substantially enhance the measurement of physical activity and the evidence base that informs strategies to improve population health through physical activity promotion. The project aims to transform the understanding of young children's physical activity behaviour, and is expected to have important implications for the design of accurate and effective technology-based physical activity monitoring and intervention applications that could be delivered through the e-health initiative in Australia.Read moreRead less
Molecular networks underlying mitochondrial biogenesis in humans. Mitochondria are essential for life, and we propose a highly-innovative approach (employing multiple, cutting-edge ‘omic’ technologies and bioinformatics) to advance the fundamental understanding of how mitochondria respond and adapt to exercise in humans. The project outcomes should include significant new knowledge and advanced expertise that can be used by others to facilitate additional research outcomes. The project anticipa ....Molecular networks underlying mitochondrial biogenesis in humans. Mitochondria are essential for life, and we propose a highly-innovative approach (employing multiple, cutting-edge ‘omic’ technologies and bioinformatics) to advance the fundamental understanding of how mitochondria respond and adapt to exercise in humans. The project outcomes should include significant new knowledge and advanced expertise that can be used by others to facilitate additional research outcomes. The project anticipates the contribution of innovative tools for molecular biology research, benefiting therapeutic and biotechnology applications. This project will support advanced training of young researchers in frontier technologies, which will expand Australian research capabilities and help produce a higher quality workforce.Read moreRead less
