My research interest has long been human exercise tolerance, or the ability to sustain exercise, and the mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue. I believe a better understanding of the physiological and behavioural limitations to exercise gives exercise scientists, clinicians, or other practitioners looking to enhance human exercise tolerance evidence for the development of robust science-based interventions. My work finds impact in the areas of health, sport and wellbeing.
Jeanne is the postgraduate research (PGR) coordinator for her school (School of Sport and Service Management) so feel free to contact Jeanne for any PGR-related queries.
Jeanne also supervises PhD students who are interested in the study of exercise tolerance, training, fatigue (traits and state of subjective fatigue), affect, and fatigability (task failure; perceived effort; neuromuscular fatigue). If you are interested in these topics, Jeanne is very happy to be contacted by prospective students.
Specific areas of inquiry might include (and overlap on):
As an active researcher and consultant, I actively contribute to the design and application of research- and consultancy-informed teaching materials to foster students’ engagement, understanding of, and enthusiasm for the professional world.
I am keen to pilot different learning and teaching strategies to improve the courses I am involved with. In our postgraduate programme, I introduced a series of classroom-based Action Learning Sets for students to reflect and make the most of their Professional Enquiry experience (employability). The two MSc courses I lead today are entirely set on problem-based learning (PBL) scenarios to prepare students best for the ‘real world’. I recently piloted a PBL intervention in collaboration with the English Institute of Sport (EIS). Student feedback was excellent. It was a great experience.
Also,I would consider myself as an ‘early adopter’ of new learning and teaching technologies that I see as key for the new generation of learners. For example, supported by a Learning and Teaching Scholarship, I developed videos to support students with their use of Excel.
Some of the key areas I teach in are:
I completed my PhD in the field of Sport and Exercise Physiology in 2003. I was then successful in an Interreg III application (£263,000) so I moved to the UK for a two-year full-time position starting in 2005. I then decided that applying Sport Science was important to me so for another four years (2007-2011), I continued my applied work as a swimming coach alongside a part-time lecturing position I secured at the University of Brighton. I moved to what is today my current full-time lecturing position in 2011.
