Research interests

Use of GPS analysis for monitoring athletic performance with a special interest in field hockey and football. Alongside my role as a Senior Lecturer I am also a practising Sports Scientist with the Scottish Hockey Union. I have several years' experience in the physiological testing and analysis of athletes: VO2max test, lactate profiles, anthropometrical measures (skinfolds, hydrostatic weighing, bioelectrical impedance). I am an ISAK accredited anthropometrist. I have provided sports science support for athletes in the following sports: football, hockey, boxing and curling from amateur to professional level.
