Working thesis title

STUDY ONE: Evaluate the reliability and validity compared to match-play data of an adapted a 120 min non-motorised treadmill-based soccer-specific simulation (Intermittent Soccer Performance Test 120: iSPT120)

STUDY TWO: Evaluate the effects high ambient temperatures (HOT: 35 oC; 50% rH) have on physical performance following 120 min of simulated soccer performance compared with a temperate environment (CON: 18 oC; 50% rH)

Research Questions

• The Reliability and Validity of a 120 min non-motorised treadmill-based soccer-specific simulation (Intermittent Soccer Performance Test 120: iSPT120)
• The effect high ambient temperatures (HOT: 35 oC; 50% rH) have on physical performance following 120 min of simulated soccer performance compared with a temperate environment (CON: 18 oC; 50% rH)]

About Me

After graduating in July 2018 with a First-Class Honours Degree in Sport Science and Coaching (BSc), I knew that my academic journey had just started as my thirst for knowledge could not be satisfied.

I decided that a Research MSc would be most beneficial for myself as I wanted to expand my knowledge and widen my research area whilst focusing specifically on environmental physiology, in the hopes to one day become an expert in this field.
