Research

My research focuses upon the main themes of psychophysiology and sport and exercise psychology. I am particularly interested in the impact of stress/recovery and other behavioural factors on health and sporting performance.

My PhD examined the personality and behavioural correlates of extreme stress reactivity, with a particular focus upon individuals who exhibit attenuated stress responses and the associated maladaptive health and behavioural outcomes.  

My current research focuses upon the examination of stress, coping and well-being (in football), personality traits, ergogenic effects of music and motivating health behaviour.
