Biography

Kukuh Pambuka Putra earned a Bachelor of Sport degree in 2012 from the Faculty of Sport Science at Surabaya State University, where he laid the foundation for his academic journey in the field of sport science. Driven by a deep interest in human physiology and health, he pursued advanced studies and obtained a Master of Health degree in 2015 from the Faculty of Medicine at Airlangga University.

Currently, he serves as a lecturer and researcher in the Physical Education Study Program at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Satya Wacana Christian University (SWCU). In addition to his teaching and research responsibilities, he holds the position of Chair of the Research Ethics Committee at the Faculty of Health Sciences, where he oversees the ethical integrity of scientific investigations within the faculty.

Research Interest

Kukuh Pambuka Putra specializes in exercise physiology, focusing in physiological response and adaptation.  His research investigates the differences between acute physiological responses (short-term) and long-term physiological adaptations resulting from various training modalities—both in normobaric environments (aerobic and anaerobic exercise) and hyperbaric conditions (breath-diving and apnoea diving).

His work centers on how different training modalities induce distinct physiological adaptations that affect long-term human physical characteristics. Furthermore, his research aims to understand how these adaptations contribute to human survival and optimal functioning under diverse and extreme environmental conditions.
