Shohn Wormgoor (Universal College of Learning)
\n\nShohn is senior Clinical Exercise Physiologist at UCOL’s U-Kinetic Clinic in Palmerston North and is passionate about sharing his knowledge of exercise physiology and how regular supervised exercise can be used to enhance one’s quality of life. Originally from South Africa, where he gained 10 years’ experience working at the University of Johannesburg’s Institute for Biokinetics and Sport Science (South Africa’s equivalent to Clinical Exercise Physiology) - using various modes of exercise as therapy to patients of all ages presenting with various medical conditions. Shohn arrived in NZ and joined UCOL in 2010 to teach on the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science programme and has been involved at the U-Kinetics clinic since its inception in 2012. He enjoys finding innovative ways to help both patients and students understand and appreciate the wonderful workings of the human body. Now his role is to guide students in applying their theoretical knowledge to working with real-life patients that have multiple high-risk health issues. Shohn is currently enrolled as a PhD Candidate and conducting research on the impact of exercise intensity on diabetic control.
