Teaching & Research

Professional Interests

Sport & Exercise Physiology - specifically interested in the physiology of endurance sports notably mountain biking, cycling, running, triathlon and swimming. Provision of sports science support to inform training and to enhance performance in athletes.

Pedagogical interests in problem based learning which encourages autonomous learning of multi/inter-disciplinary situations. This approach has been utilised in a range of modules at all levels of the ISES curriculum.

Research informed teaching strategies are also utilised as much as possible, notably where students are supported to design and conduct their own research.  

Research Interests

Physiological demands of mountain biking
