The Exercise Physiology and Nutrition Research Group investigates the mechanisms that underpin human exercise performance, metabolism, and the interactions between physical activity and nutrition. Combining mechanistic, applied, and behavioural approaches, the group conducts experimental and clinical studies to enhance athletic performance, support metabolic and cardiovascular health, and promote well-being across diverse populations.
Through collaborations with healthcare, academic, and industry partners, the group translates findings into evidence-based strategies that inform practice and improve outcomes in both sporting and clinical settings.
