We welcome Ben Scott to our Environmental Extremes Lab, new PhD Physiologist with British Swimming who starts his doctorate, entitled ‘Profiling Elite Swimmers and Responsiveness to Altitude Training’. This is an interesting project with it being funded by British Swimming with support from the English Institute of Sport (EIS), based in Loughborough, but registered with the University of Brighton. Ben will be supervised by Dr Jeanne Dekerle (Principal Lecturer, University of Brighton), Dr Richard Burden (Technical Lead – Physiology, EIS & Senior Lecturer, St Mary’s University) and Dr Karl Cooke (Head of Sports Science and Sports Medicine, British Swimming). We wish him well and are excited to read about the research as it comes out!
