Teresa van der Vossen is a Lecturer in Exercise and Wellness at UCOL, New Zealand. She specializes in strength and conditioning for high-performance athletes. Teresa is also a competitive Olympic weightlifter, ranking second in her weight class in New Zealand.

In this interview, Teresa walks us through her Masters degree research project looking at sleep in elite weightlifters traveling for an international competition. Her project consisted of two studies, which she describes for us in detail.
