James is a PhD student at the Research Institute for Sports and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University. James completed a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Liverpool John Moores University, before taking an applied role working at the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust as a Therapy Practitioner in Cystic Fibrosis.
His current research is focused on physical activity and physiological adaptation in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. The aim of the research is to provide objective measures of physical activity and explore the relationship with measures of cardiovascular and respiratory function in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. Further to this, the research will look to inform the development, implementation and evaluation of an intervention to increase physical activity. The research is being conducted in collaboration with the CF team at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital
