The course combines state of the art physiological and metabolic methodologies with relevant molecular biology approaches to study fundamental physiological aspects of human health and disease. Main topics include muscle function and metabolism in health and disease, cardiovascular regulation in health and disease, cardiorenorespiratory physiology, biochemistry and nutrition in exercise, health and disease (including diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease), laboratory techniques, statistics & research methods and clinical pharmacology. Over the course of the MSc I will have completed laboratory reports on the following techniques: doppler ultrasound and finometry; venous occlusion plethysmography; lung function tests; Western blotting; spectrophotometry and fluorometry; polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR; human maximal oxygen consumption testing; glucose clamp techniques and the use of isotope tracers.The aim of my dissertation was threefold: i) To investigate the effect of chronic hypoxia on glycolytic rate in perfused mouse hearts using 3H labelled radioisotopes. ii) To examine the effect of FIH-1 gene knockout on cardiac glycolysis. iii) The validity of the glucose extraction technique was investigated.

Worked within the Nottingham Trent University physiology department alongside the staff and PhD students. During the placement year I gained the following experience:• Phlebotomy: cannulation and venepuncture• Parvo Medics TrueMax 2400 and Lode ergometer manager• SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences)• Transcranial magnetic stimulation• Indirect calorimetry• Presented a poster at the 3rd World Science and Soccer Conference in Ghent, Belgium. • Excellent knowledge of ProZone, Team AMS software and using GPSport monitors.I was also involved in a research project on talent identification in academy footballers, whereby every weekend I travelled to one of four academies (Nottingham Forest, Leicester City, Coventry City and MK Dons) to film and GPS the matches. On numerous occasions, I was responsible for leading teams of four to do this. I built trusting relationships with both the staff and players at the clubs. Delegation and organisational skills were also important to ensure data collection ran smoothly.
