In addition, they were granted £300,000 by the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver their GAMEPLAN intervention over...

Climate change is a prominent, real-world, ongoing event that can cause high feelings of stress and anxiety in people. It is an ongoing challenge to try and reduce our digital carbon footprint, at both an individual and organisational level, which cumulatively has a huge impact on climate change. Digital decarbonisation provides a real-world strategy that we...

Psychological stress exposure is a risk factor for a range of long-term health conditions. A prominent, real-world and ongoing stressor is climate change, which can impact our physical and mental health and yet remains largely unexplored. As society progresses decarbonization efforts towards net zero, such efforts may also act as an inadvertent stressor for...

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI, including sports-related concussions) account for 80% of TBIs, posing a significant global public health concern. While most recover within weeks, up to 30% develop Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), marked by long-lasting physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural issues. Objective assessment and interventions are...

Physical activity (PA) is beneficial for physical and mental health at all stages of life and becomes of critical importance from mid-life onwards, when regular engagement can help prevent or reduce age-related injuries.Many midlife women do not engage in regular physical activity and the menopause transition itself can present both physical and...

Women's engagement in sport and exercise is heavily influenced by the stage of their menstrual cycle and appropriate support wear. Breast size, shape and sensitivity varies throughout a menstrual cycle, requiring better measurement and knowledge to define these changes and how to support women to engage in exercise. This PhD focuses on a novel measurement...
