Dr Blake Perry

Senior Lecturer

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Health Sciences

I am an integrative human physiologist with an interest in blood flow to the brain, particularly during large changes in blood pressure induced by resistance exercise and the Valsalva manoeuvre. I am also interested in the cardiovascular responses to heat stress and exercise.
