Physiology of Exercise and Sport Performance

Enhancing Psychophysiological Performance In Young People

Our group undertakes research in a number of areas linked to the psychophysiological enhancement of health, exercise, and sport performance in young people. A central theme of our work is to establish the interaction between psychological states and physiological function, particularly within the realm of exercise adherence, maintenance, and enhancement.

Increasing our understanding of the experiences of young people in sport and the physical education (PE) environment allows us to plan, construct, and deliver more relevant, inclusive, and meaningful sport and physical education. This can be used to inform policy and practice to improve the quality of provision and increase the potential for PE and sport to positively impact on children throughout their life.
