CQU hosts crew from ABC TV's Catalyst science program 

Published on 17 December, 2004 

CQU Rockhampton this week hosted reporter Maryke Steffens, producer Caroline Davey and a crew from the ABC TV Science program Catalyst.

PhotoID:1761 They were filming a story on Adam Bryant's research on ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) knee injuries in women. It is due to be broadcast in April, 2005.

The joint study between biomechanist Mr Bryant and Rockhampton orthopaedic surgeon Associate Professor Erik Hohmann is looking at how to prevent Australia\' s most common and costly sports injury by manipulating blood oestrogen levels using the pill.

Mr Bryant, Associate Professor Erik Hohmann and German medical student Elisabeth Eiling, of Kiel University, have established a \'first in the world\' link between oestrogen and musculotendinous stiffness (MTS) and knee laxity at the time when females are most predisposed to injury.

PhotoID:1762 The Catalyst visit coincided with Mr Bryant's last week at CQU, as he has accepted a position at Melbourne University.
