Dr M<\/strong>ichelle Swainson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lecturer in Physiology<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michelle graduated from Leeds Beckett (Metropolitan) University back in 2004 with a 1st\u00a0Class in BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science, which was\u00a0followed up with some pretty awesome\u00a0sports science support. In summer 2005, Michelle assisted in the sport science support to the\u00a0Army on Everest West Ridge Team\u00a0and the RFL Youth Development programme. Alongside her\u00a0MSc in Exercise Physiology (Manchester Metropolitan University, 2005-2006), Michelle supported the GB Wheelchair Tennis team, as well as some players from GB Women\u2019s Hockey, GB Wheelchair Basketball and GB Wheelchair Rugby. Her\u00a0research\u00a0and sport science support with the GB Wheelchair Tennis team was focused around preparation of players for the\u00a02008 Beijing Paralympics\u00a0and they came back with medals. After her MSc, Michelle decided that she had a greater interest in exercise physiology for the general population and those with clinical conditions such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, and worked for Nuffield Health as a Senior\u00a0Health and Wellbeing Physiologist\u00a0for almost five years. In this time, she completed her PhD looking into the associations between fitness, fatness and contemporary cardiovascular risk factors.\u00a0Michelle\u00a0has worked as lecturer since 2011, and joined us in July 2017 – she is a key member of the course design team and is very enthusiastic about give students a \u201creal-life\u201d approach to learning and assessment and encouraging students to engage with as much professional development as they can to stand out from the crowd. Follow her on\u00a0Twitter\u00a0to keep up to date with her tweets and activities.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, Michelle is a very proud Cumbrian and spends most weekends hiking, road cycling or mountain biking in the Lake District. She completed the 2016 Paris Marathon \u2013 probably her proudest sporting achievement \u2013 and is on a mission to enjoy running again! She loves to travel including Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Uganda, Canada, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, China, Eastern USA and plenty of Europe, and she will take every opportunity to jump on a plane!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
