IACD Institute meeting & Seminar
Dr Joanna Bowtell, Associate Professor/Head of Discipline, University of Exeter. 'Polyphenols: Panacea or Pariah for Human Health and Performance.’
Host: Juliette Norman
Research interests
- Effects of supplementation with anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory phytochemicals in exercise recovery and prevention/treatment of inflammatory related conditions
- Health and performance effects of intermittent hypoxic training
- Exercise and nutrient-induced changes in peripheral metabolism and effects upon performance, neuromuscular function and motor control.
Dr Jo Bowtell is an Associate Professor and Head of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Exeter. She completed her PhD examining the effects of nutrition and exercise on protein turnover at Dundee University in 1996. She subsequently spent 3 years lecturing and researching at Loughborough University and 12 years at London South Bank University, where she led sports science research and enterprise activity. She has been at Exeter University since September 2011. Her main research interest is in exercise and nutrient-induced changes in human physiology and metabolism, and the application of this knowledge to both optimise athlete performance and to prevent clinical conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the last 5 years her work has focused on the effects and underpinning mechanisms of polyphenol supplementation on human physiology and performance through the lifespan.
