ACU is the proud TalkBack partner of SEN1116's The Performance Hour
The Performance Hour is a weekly one-hour program dedicated to the science of sporting performance with a focus on women in sport.
Each Sunday between 9 - 10am the on-air team explore the latest research, products and protocols designed to maximise performance and mitigate injury. Listeners will hear from renowned elite athletes, sports scientists, researchers, coaches and psychologists from across Australia.
ACU's industry leading academics and researchers from the Faculty of Health Sciences will be appearing across the season. Their contributions will showcase ACU's practical and evidence informed programs in undergraduate and postgraduate sport and exercise science.
ACU was drawn to SEN 1116's commitment to featuring women in sport. A key aim of the show is to highlight the contribution of women as authoritative voices and leaders in sport on and off the field.
With a unique all female host and producer team including Sport Australia Hall of Fame Athlete member and triathlon legend Emma Carney, the show is a pathway for women in Australian sports media. The Performance Hour promotes female participation in the sport media landscape by providing real opportunities for advancement where women's voices, expertise and achievements in sport can be heard and celebrated.
