Impact of Sensory Loss (Vision and Hearing) on Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life after Stroke
Stroke can cause a range of sensory impairments (Connell, 2007; Hazelton et al., 2022; Sullivan & Hedman, 2008), including visual deficits such as visual field loss and eye movement disorders (Sand et al., 2013), as well as hearing loss (Bamiou, 2015). Read more

MRes: Environmental attitudes and behaviours of Brazilian mountain bikers (SAS0203)
Mountain biking is an increasingly popular outdoor recreation in many countries. Read more
MRes – Is self-paced performance the key to normalising intensity of interval training across individuals? (Project ID SAS0206)
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a widely employed training methodology known for its effectiveness in improving cardiorespiratory and metabolic fitness, ultimately leading to increased exercise capacity (Buchheit & Laursen, 2013). Read more
MRes – Assessing mountain bike downhill performance following high-intensity exercise bouts (Project ID SAS0207)
Mountain biking, particularly in its enduro and cross-country disciplines, requires not only exceptional technical skills but also substantial physical conditioning to manage repeated high-intensity efforts (Impellizzeri & Marcora, 2007; Kirkwood et al., 2017). Read more
Can car sharing schemes work in rural areas of Scotland and can this achieve sustainable transport?
Shared mobility practices such as. Car sharing systems (CSS) are intended to reduce car ownership, reduce the private car fleet, improve mobility, and traffic congestion while offering advantages for drivers such as total cost of ownership (TCO) and flexibility for drivers. Read more
Are rural e-bike routes manageable and cost-effective?
Cycling routes have been identified as an area for development to significantly reduce carbon emission and support health and wellbeing by encouraging active travel. Read more
