I am excited to share my most recent publication in Experimental Physiology! In this study, I investigated whether a fava bean-derived plant protein (ATURA) could support GI disturbances and thermoregulation during exercise in hot conditions.

Amazing work from @RobynAitkenhead presenting on the agreement between muscle oxygenation and pulmonary gas measures to identify ventilatory thresholds @E_C_S_S @SUSciEng @Dr_Heff56
It was a fantastic experience to present some work from my PhD in Glasgow at @E_C_S_S #ECSS2024. It has been a great few days of presentations from everyone at @SwanseaUni 🏴 and enjoyed catching up with some old friends 🏴

It’s time to get Scoot Fit as an Olympic sport! Had a great time this morning trying it out! Hope to have another session soon! 🛴⚽️
Fantastic morning spent with @activity4kidz @AmieRichards at @SwanseaUni discussing our 3year project focusing on hypermobility and using a scooter as a diagnostic device, all very exciting!
And we had a game of Scoot Ball, the students loved it 😎🛴⚽️

Great to see our work published in @EJAP_official. “Caffeine ingestion compromises thermoregulation and does not improve cycling time to exhaustion in the heat amongst males”
Thanks to my mentor @MarkWaldron13 and team ☕️ 🚴 🥵

(4/5) Therefore it is recommended that coaches and athletes monitor/track their menstrual cycle individually to optimise performance and don’t always rely on ‘average’ data. ✅
(5/5) A big shoutout to @drlesleyingram @GeraintFJames and @kirwid for all there support over the years 😄
(2/5) Key takeaways -
There was a significant increase in basal body temperature in the luteal phase vs follicular phase, aligning with the general populations…
Very pleased to share that my MRes paper is finally out (open access)! 🎉 ✅

This is the first study of its kind & followed well trained & elite cyclists for 3 months to investigate how the menstrual cycle influenced their training schedules (1/5).
