| | | | Research Interests | |
| Exercise and cardiovascular function, and in particular the role of acute and chronic exercise on blood volume expansion and vasodilatory capacity as well as vein compliance in normal healthy and normotensive individuals with family history of hypertension. The role of exercise in the prevention of hypertension is important to investigate as normotensive individuals with family history of hypertension already have limited vasodilatory capacity (high peripheral resistance) compared to normotensives without a family history of hypertension.

| | | | Project Topics for current Honours Students |
| The effects of four weeks of moderate aerobic exercise on baroreceptor and vascular function in normotensive young offspring of hypertensive parents | |
| | | | Teaching Interests | |
| Research methods and advanced exercise physiology. The Research Methods course is designed specifically for 4th year Health and Exercise Science students. The course provides an overview about research methods in physical activity as well as giving the students hands on experience of how to design a study and analyse the data using a statistical package. Advanced exercise physiology for the 3rd year Health and Exercise Science students is a more advanced version of exercise physiology, where students learn more integrated exercise physiology with more advanced laboratory based experiments. | |
