Exercise Medicine Research Institute

Edith Cowan University’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute is a cross-disciplinary alliance of research centres and expertise with extensive national and international linkages. It is the first institute of its kind at an Australian University bringing together an expert team of researchers committed to improving community health and wellbeing. In partnership with national and international networks, it enhances collaboration and promotes a holistic approach to health and lifestyle. Our vision is for exercise to be a core component of medicine for complex and chronic conditions. Through world leading research, EMRI creates the knowledge to shift existing paradigms of medical care to improve patient outcomes. Exercise Medicine Research Institute is a pioneer in prescribing exercise to manage chronic disease. EMRI’s research has improved clinical management of patients with cancer and neurological disorders, providing WA patients with access to first-in-Australia technology and clinical exercise programs at the Institute’s Vario Health Clinic.
