Associate Professor Peter Reaburn, a fellow endurance athlete and sport scientist from CQUniversity in Rockhampton, will be doing a book signing of his recently published book The Masters Athlete at M1 Cycles in Gladstone on Saturday, 5th December between 10am and 12 noon.
The book is a world first. It’s focus is on bringing the science of sport (e.g. training methods, nutrition, recovery, weight control) to older athletes in language they can understand.
