based in Cape Town, South Africa

Dr. Noakes is a medical doctor who long time ago decided that he preferred exercise physiology and sports medicine to usual clinical medicine. He presently directs a large research group of post-graduate scientists in the exercise science. The goal of group is an understanding of  the neural integration of the physiological response to exercise.

Dr. Noakes other posts include a Professorship or Exercise Science and Sports Medicine at the University of Cape Town (UCT). He is also a Director of the Medical Research Council (MRC) / UCT Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine and an Executive Co-Director of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.

The mission of the UCT/MRC Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine is to develop a novel neurobiological model of integrated human function during exercise and to use this model to optimize human exercise performance, the prevention and treatment of sports injuries, and, the prevention and treatment of certain chronic diseases.

Dr.Noakes is disgusted at the international scam that allows widespread doping in world sport by covering up the truth.  His editorial in the NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine) defines his views.

Key words: Exercise Science, Sports Medicine, Sports injuries, physiology, neural integration, exercise performance
