Sport and Exercise Scientist, Physiologist

6 - 9 Years

I am a researcher and applied physiologist specialising in endurance and environmental physiology. In my role as a consultant at the Health and Performance Hub, I provide a range of physiological services, and oversee a team of colleagues and post-graduate students (Masters, MRes, PhD) in delivering high-quality services to private individuals and athletes on regional and national level sports teams. I collaborate with other academics to develop and implement best practices and execute world-leading services as needed. Through these experiences, I have developed a high level of expertise in various physiological topics.

x Heat acclimation/training strategies
x Altitude training
x Running/cycling physiological profiling
x Resting metabolic rate testing
x Haemoglobin mass testing

*All services listed above are provided at the Health and Performance Hub, Leeds Beckett University.

I specialise in problem-solving complex cases for athletes and teams for example;

Jonny Brownlee – providing heat acclimation support to him at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games and Abu Dhabi grand final in 2022.

Phil Sesemann – providing heat acclimation support for the European championships in 2022 and Paris Olympics in 2024. Laboratory and field-based physiological profiling to prescribe training zones and identify changes in key physiological characteristics.

Leeds Talent Hub – Physiological profiling to middle and long distance athletes throughout the season; bespoke heat acclimation strategies to select individuals competing at European and international competitions, blood screening; haemoglobin mass testing around altitude training camps.

Manchester City women football club – remote delivery and analysis of resting metabolic rate testing with the first team squad as part pre-season preparations.

I have a BSc, MSc and PhD in Exercise Physiology from Leeds Beckett University.
