Enhancing health and exercise performance through body heating or cooling

The enhancement of physical performance and muscle function is important for athletic success and for maintaining or restoring good health. Growing evidence indicates that heating or cooling, either alone or combined with exercise, can induce multiple beneficial physical adaptations, leading to enhanced physical performance, muscle function and health. Opportunities exist within this research program to conduct a range of research projects which explore these benefits. Potential project topics include heating or cooling effects on endurance exercise, resistance exercise, exercise recovery, heat acclimation, muscle physiology, and muscle disorders. You will join a research team comprised of world leaders in the fields of exercise and muscle physiology with many years of experience investigating interventions targeted at enhancing exercise performance and muscle function. Potential applicants will ideally have a background in exercise or muscle physiology and an interest in applied and translational research.
