Personal profile

Biography

Dr Naylor is a researcher and accredited exercise physiologist whose work focuses on the use of exercise as a therapeutic intervention, particularly the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations to exercise training. Her research spans elite athletes to individuals with chronic health conditions—including advanced heart failure, cancer survivors, and adolescents with type 2 diabetes—to develop a comprehensive understanding of cardiac and vascular exercise physiology. She also leads basic science studies to uncover mechanistic insights into cardiovascular regulation.

Dr Naylor leads a research team investigating swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), a condition affecting athletes during immersion exercise, particularly in open-water swimming and diving environments.

She works clinically as an accredited exercise physiologist at Fiona Stanley Hospital and Healthy Hearts, and is part of the Move to Improve ERG at Perth Children's Hospital applying research insights to optimize exercise-based interventions in clinical care.
