Countdown to annual Logan Fun Run underway
Queensland steeplechaser and Griffith University biomedical science student, Gabriella Dalton, has some sporty words of wisdom for participants ahead of next month’s Griffith Sport Logan Fun Run.
“Don’t get tricked into sprinting at the start, but pace yourself,” Gabriella says. “Don’t follow those people who sprint at the start unless you’re one of them.”

Gabriella, an Australian steeplechase specialist at underage level, also encourages runners in the 10km, 5km and 1km dash to eat well the day before – a pasta dinner is advisable – and on the morning of the run.
“Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and eat a light breakfast at least an hour before the start. Even a banana will do.”
Gabriella (17) also stresses the importance of a proper stretching session in anticipation of some cooler temperatures early on a mid-June morning.
She has also encouraged Griffith students to group together

The importance of monitoring exercise for improved health and fitness
Griffith University scientists have found exercise-response monitoring is crucial for maximising the safety and effectiveness of undertaking exercise.
Published in SpringerPlus in time for Exercise Right Week (22-28 May), the Gold Coast study examined if so called ‘mood-state’ assessment could be used to non-invasively indicate the stress-recovery balance in the body at a molecular level, following resistance-exercise.
Male participants aged 18-40 were recruited and performed either a highly-controlled thumb resistance-exercise bout or a placebo intervention. Participants were then assessed for mood-state changes using a validated questionnaire and levels of two biomarkers believed to influence fatigue (IL-6) and recovery (DHEA-S) from exercise.
Following exercise, DHEA-S decreased significantly in the untrained exercising group and this change was also reflected in the mood-state of the participants as borne out by their completed questionnaires, study leader Dr Adam Szlezak from Griffith’s Menzies Health Institute Queensland, found.
“DHEA-S appears to be important in recovery from various forms of stress.

What did TC Debbie do?
The tragic loss of human life and subsequent emotional torment still being experienced by Queensland and New South Wales communities characterises the catastrophe that was Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
Director of Griffith University’s soon-to-be launched Cities Research Institute, Professor Paul Burton, will lead a panel discussion delving into the aftermath of the disaster.
Over the past month, Griffith University researchers have undertaken comprehensive fact-finding and data collation missions to better understand the enormity of the 2017 weather event
Researchers investigated the impacts across both the natural and built environment, from the devastation to the Great Barrier Reef to the disruption of business supply chains.
The panel discussion will explore the related impacts, and investigate how this research can be used to better equip Australia to minimise the effects of similar events into the future.
The members of the panel are:
