Biography

Professor Gregory Kolt joined the University of Western Sydney in December 2006 as Head of the School of Biomedical and Health Sciences. Prior to this current appointment he was Professor of Health Science, Associate Dean (Research), and Founder and Co-Director of the Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research in the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.

Gregory Kolt has an academic background that spans several disciplines including psychology (specifically health psychology), physiotherapy, sport and exercise science, and education. He has worked in research, teaching, and psychology and physiotherapy practice. His extensive research experience has covered areas including physical activity and health (in child, adolescent, and older populations), primary health care, health promotion, psychological aspects of injury and rehabilitation, adherence to rehabilitation, injury epidemiology, and stress management. Professor Kolt has been the recipient of several large research grants from national health research funding agencies and has worked with government bodies to develop and shape the national research agenda for physical activity, nutrition, and obesity in New Zealand.

He has also served on review panels for several national research funding agencies, has supervised many doctoral research students, and has been a keynote speaker at a number of international conferences.

Gregory Kolt is the editor of the comprehensive books Physical Therapies in Sport and Exercise (now in its 2nd edition and published in 4 languages) and Psychology in the Physical and Manual Therapies, both published by Elsevier. He was also one of the Founding Editors of the international journal Physical Therapy in Sport where he served as Editor from 1999-2008, and is the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport. In addition, he sits on the editorial boards and advisory groups of several international journals.
