Research interests
Lindsay's main research area is the benefits of physical activity on health in different special populations. She recently completed a a feasibilty study to investigate moderate and high intensity exercise levels in Crohn's Disease patients funded by Crohn's and Colitis UK. Other current projects include investigating the benefits of physcial activity in alcohol addiction in collaboration with Queen Mary University and also depression in adolescents in collaboration with several Institutions and NHS Trusts. Other health related research interests include exploring the cardiometabolic effects of Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice supplementation. Finally, coming from a sports background a keen area of research is in the area of epee fencing with regards to physiological, biomechanical and psychological responses which involves collaboration work with the University of Central Lancashire.
