Lee Bell MSc, PGCE, SFHEA

Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science


Summary

Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science with a teaching and research interest in Strength and Conditioning. Module Leader for Principles of Conditioning for Sport Performance and Developing Professional Skills in Sport and Physical Activity. I have an applied interest in resistance exercise programming and currently teach across all levels of undergraduate and postgraduate study. I welcome research collaboration requests in any of my areas of interest.

 

About

I completed my BSc (Hons) at Sheffield Hallam University in 2003 and my MSc at Leeds Metropolitan University in 2011. I am currently undertaking a PhD in Strength and Conditioning at Sheffield Hallam University, exploring overreaching and overtraining in strength sports. I have a wealth of experience in industry and have been involved in several roles within the sport and exercise industry: Personal Training and Strength and Conditioning Tutor, European Master Trainer, College Lecturer, Exercise Referral Specialist, and Coach. I am also an experienced content writer, having published several online articles and podcasts for well-respected educational websites and research reviews. Additional to my academic role, I consult privately with coaches and athletes.
