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
Returning to sport, performance and physical profiling after Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstructive surgery
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most burdensome injuries in sports, particularly in adolescent and youths. Read more
Examining Parent-Child Interactions in Performance Settings Using Conversation Analysis (Self-Funded PhD)

Molecular mechanisms of pacemaker (sinus node) dysfunction in ageing, heart failure and athletes
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
The heart’s pacemaker, the sinus node, initiates the action potential that causes the heart to beat, and the atrioventricular node conducts the action potential from the atria to the ventricles, the pumping chambers of the heart. Read more
