Associate Professor Keogh is an exercise scientist whose research focuses on better understanding the relationship between muscle mass, strength and physical performance in athletes as well as older adults at risk of disability and poor health outcomes. A recent research and advocacy focus has been on the geriatric syndrome of sarcopenia, defined as a progressive loss of muscle mass, muscular strength and physical performance. His sarcopenia research and advocacy has focused on its epidemiology in residential aged care, the use of the SARC-F sarcopenia screening tool and the benefits and translational ability of progressive balance and resistance training to offset the sarcopenia adverse events. He is intimately involved with our two key national Australian organisations, Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) as well as the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA). He is an Accredited Sport Scientist with ESSA (ASpSc2) and an accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach with ASCA (Level II - Professional).   Much of his sports science research is now focusing on female athletic populations in order to help address the inequalities in the sports science research filed that has typically focused on male athletes. Example of this female-focused (or at least female inclusive) research include Australian Rules football, BMX, rugby sevens, strongman, surfing and swimming.
