Research Projects:
This Laboratory conducts a very wide range of basic and applied research projects. More details of these projects can be seen under the Publications and Students pages attached to the home page. These projects fall within the following general catergories.
- Neuromuscular adaptation
- Ageing in sedentary and habitually-active adults
- Cardiovascular rehabilitation
- Respiratory mechanics during exercise and work
- Physiological, physical and nutritional assessments of workers and the working environment
- Optimisation of the worker-environment interface: analysis and the provision of design specifications
- Clinical or field-based physical fitness assessment
