The key direction of my research throughout my career has been human research in sports and exercise science and medicine. In exercise science I have examined performance, physiological, immune and biomechanical movement responses to exercise and training in endurance sport athletes, namely; rowers, runners, kayakers, cyclists and lately triathletes. In sports medicine I have had a career long interest in two conditions; exercise induced asthma and athlete bone health. In asthma related research I have conducted studies on the effects of exercise and laboratory asthma tests, environmental factors and diurnal effects on athlete respiratory function; and, my interest in bone fragility and stress fractures lead to my PhD studies. My PhD studies lead me into the world of bioengineering and specifically examined the effect of bone mineral density on bone strength in an animal model of the bone disorder osteoporosis. More recently I have journal publications, journal submissions, and am conducting ongoing MSc and PhD project supervision in the following exercise science and sports medicine related areas: rowing machine exercise responses, measurement reliability of blood markers of exercise intensity, further studies on exercise induced asthma, clinical audit of athlete medical screening forms, concussion and sub-concussive head injury in rugby players, and with my PhD student a number of studies examining predictive modelling of performance in triathletes integrating machine based measurements of power output with physiological measurements and blood markers. In light of the COVID19 crisis and limitations on human research my key direction in MSc level projects has necessarily shifted to survey based studies and large critical reviews; namely, a survey of workload, injury and illness in cycle couriers; and two large critical reviews one on strength training in Cancer patients and one on neuroelectric stimulation of the spinal cord in spinal cord injury patients. In regard to future directions, on resumption of human research, in spinal cord injury we are currently awaiting funding for a large study which will examine the effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation in spinal cord injury. This new direction of my research is particularly exciting as neuro-electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with implanted or in our case transcutaneous stimulators represents a paradigm shift in the science; and, ultimately the care of spinally injured patients. This new research direction was inspired by a small single patient case study examining the effects of robotic walking and transcutaneous neuro-electrical stimulation that myself and a small team conducted 5 years ago. Supported by the Mark Pollock Trust this was the first study of its kind in Ireland and it has spurned many such other studies in other 3rd level institutes throughout Ireland. In summary the key directions of my research throughout my career has been human research in the broad, emerging and niche discipline of sports and exercise medicine and science.
