Research activities

My research interests span both physiology and performance analysis. 

Within physiology my research interests include: thermoregulation, exercise in the heat, exercise in protective clothing, physiological responses/demands of sports, short term heat acclimation in ageing population and physiological responses to disability sport.

Within performance analysis my research interests include: key performance indicators within team sports with a particular interest in netball, specific technical/tactical elements within team sports for example: what defines successful centre passes in netball, and developing tools that can be used to analyse team sports.
