Emma Zadow is an accomplished academic in the field of exercise science. She completed her Bachelor of Sports Science at Murdoch University from 2009 to 2011, followed by a First Class Honours degree in Sports Science in 2012. Her honours thesis, supervised by Jeremiah Peiffer and Chris Abbiss, examined physiological responses to "all-out" and even-paced cycling intervals. She then pursued a PhD in Exercise Science at the University of Tasmania from 2014 to 2017, focusing on sports performance optimisation within the Sports Performance Optimisation Research Team.
In her professional career, Dr Zadow served as a Lecturer at La Trobe University for three years. She subsequently relocated to Western Australia and taught several units in the Exercise Science degree at Murdoch University. Currently, she holds the position of Lecturer in Exercise Science at the School of Health Sciences, University of Tasmania. Her research specializations encompass exercise physiology, haemostasis, athletic performance, exercise testing, strength and conditioning, and the effects of exercise on coagulation and fibrinolysis. Key areas include the influence of compression socks on coagulation during marathon running, time-of-day effects on high-intensity exercise, thrombotic risk factors in athletes, and physiological responses to travel and endurance exercise. Notable publications include "Validity of power settings of the Wahoo KICKR power trainer" (International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2016), "Effects of sports compression socks on performance, physiological, and hematological alterations after long-haul air travel in elite female volleyballers" (The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research, 2019), "Coronavirus (COVID-19), coagulation, and exercise: interactions that may influence health outcomes" (Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2020), "Acquired and genetic thrombotic risk factors in the athlete" (Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2018), "Time of day and short-duration high-intensity exercise influences on coagulation and fibrinolysis" (European Journal of Sport Science, 2018), "Pacing, the missing piece of the puzzle to high-intensity interval training" (International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015), and "Compression socks and the effects on coagulation and fibrinolytic activation during marathon running" (European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2018). Her scholarship has garnered over 330 citations, underscoring her impact in exercise science.
