Exercise & Clinical Physiology
Dr. Scott Hannah
Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology
PhD · MSc · BSc (Hons)
I study how the body responds to exercise, across the cardiovascular system, bone, and recovery. My focus is turning those measurements into assessment that works in both health and clinical care.
Research
Most of my research focuses on the cardiovascular and vascular system, including how the arteries respond to resistance training, to effort, and to prolonged sitting, alongside work on bone and calcium metabolism during exercise. A growing part of it takes these measurements into clinical settings, such as gait rehabilitation after stroke.
I lead the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science programme at Winchester and supervise postgraduate researchers. Please get in touch if our interests overlap.
