Summary

James joined the University of Hull back in December 2009 as an Exercise Physiology laboratory technician.

Whilst in this role, he studied part-time for a PhD exploring the relationships between training load and neuromuscular fatigue in cricket fast bowlers.

After successfully completing his PhD, James has been promoted and is now a lecturer in Sport Physiology and Nutrition.

Outside of work, he is a highly competitive triathlete and has represented the Great Britain Age-Group Team at the European Championships, since 2014.
