Research Summary:

My research interests are primarily focused on developing and assessing ways to enhance endurance (aerobic) performance – both in individual sports such as running, cycling and triathlon, but also in team sport athletes.

Current Research Projects:

• Energy availability and menstrual dysfunction in female endurance athletes.
• Novel methods to enhance running economy in distance runners.
• Development of small-sided games for young athletes.
• Heart rate variability in elite endurance athletes.
• Physiological demands of competitive surfing.
• Effects of nutritional supplements to enhance high-intensity exercise performance.
  
• Respiratory muscle training and sports performance.
