Summary
My area of expertise lies in skeletal muscle physiology, in particular the importance of muscle mass, strength and function, the underpinning physiological mechanisms that control these and how these can be manipulated to benefit human performance and maximise resilience.
My research has 2 strands within this expertise, 1. Application within elite sport and 2. Application with Clinical Musculoskeletal Health. Whilst these 2 contexts appear at opposite ends, the strategies in understanding maximising performance from elite settings has comparable characteristics with the performance of activities of daily living as we get older and being resilient to acute changes such as falls, surgery or COVID-19.
About
My research focus is on skeletal muscle physiology, in particular the importance of muscle mass, strength and function, the underpinning physiological mechanisms that control these and how these can be manipulated to benefit human performance and maximise resilience.
My research has 2 strands within this expertise,
- 1. Application with Clinical Musculoskeletal Health and
- 2. Application within elite sport
Musculoskeletal Health
My main research interest lies in the promotion and implementation of resistance training in older adults and people with long term conditions.
I co-created the Strength4Life programme alongside colleagues in the department and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals to deliver community strength training classes aimed at over 55’s. Strength4Life was formed based there is inadequate provision for strength training aimed at this group and poor knowledge from associated practitioners. The programme embeds student work placements, projects and internships , alongside an active social media presence; podcast and educational series.
Application of knowledge from Sports Science and Elite Sport and application into clinical populations including Stroke, Arthritis, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Cancer and Long COVID. This include using strategies in understanding maximising performance from elite settings has comparable characteristics with the performance of activities of daily living as we get older and being resilient to acute changes.This work has led to working alongside the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy on their strength training campaigns and a recent role as part of the national falls prevention group.
Elite Sport
My work within elite sport has been understanding the role of muscle mass and strength, muscle mass distribution and muscle architecture for performance and injury risk. This has typically involved imaging techniques such as MRI, pQCT, DXA and Ultrasound alongside strength measurements.
My work in elite sport has led to publications alongside colleagues from English Institute of Sport, Lawn Tennis Association, British Cycling, High Performance Centre of Japan Cycling, Royal Dutch Cycling Federation and Sheffield United FC.
