Much interest was generated for CQUniversity programs in Exercise and Sport Science and other health areas.

NRL stars Nathan Blacklock, Tim Brasher and Peter Ryan and golfer Adam Blyth were among those who visited the expo.

CQUniversity's display demonstrated the Vertical Jump Test, which measures explosive power in the legs. [The best jump, recorded by a young local man, was 68cm, compared with an average for adult males of 41-50cm.]

Details about our Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science or any other programs are available via the hotline 13CQUni (13 27 86).
