Sport and Exercise Science

Profile

Background

Clare is a part time Principle Lecturer and leader of the Physiology Division. She is accredited by BASES for physiology research. After gaining her PhD in physiology at the University of Sheffield she was a research fellow for 6 years at the Universities of Surrey and Portsmouth before becoming a lecturer in 2001. Her main research interests are in human and applied physiology including thermal physiology and occupational physiology.

Teaching Responsibilities

Clare currently teaches on various undergraduate physiology units and supervises undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations. She is unit coordinator for Environmental and Occupational Physiology (Level 6).

Research Interests

Clare's research interests are fairly broad in the area of human and applied physiology. Her research in thermal physiology has ranged from the responses to extreme heat to survival in cold water. In addition, she has also conducted studies on the energy expenditure of playing video games and the IL6 response to exercise. Currently she is undertaking studies in non-freezing cold injury.
