Highlights

Conceived and developed paediatric effort perception scales (see Effort Perception Oxford University Press) and perceptually-regulated exercise testing procedures to assess cardiorespiratory fitness in normal and clinical populations (see Sports Medicine Review)
Significant contributions to understanding exercise-induced muscle damage and impact on performance (e.g., Sports Medicine Review)
Initial validation of GENEA wrist-worn accelerometer to assess physical activity, funded by Unilever Research, UK, now commercially available as GENEActiv accelerometer. See Validation of the GENEA Accelerometer
