Manny M. Kwok, PT, MSc (she/her/hers)

Doctoral Candidate
Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong

completed her Master of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at La Trobe University in Melbourne and obtained her Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She is currently a PhD student researching the effect of aquatic high-intensity interval training (AHIIT) on cardiometabolic health and physical fitness in women at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. An aquatic environment is beneficial to physical training because many of the physiological benefits are related to the physical properties of water. AHIIT has shown favorable effects on cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Manny’s research goal is therefore to provide a safe and efficient training option for the health continuum. By understanding the science of AHIIT, clinicians and trainers are better equipped to provide safe and effective AHIIT exercise prescriptions to those in need in our community.
