Dr Paul Potrac

Paul Potrac for Web
Paul completed his honours degree in Sport Studies and History at Brunel University before obtaining his Ph.D. from the same institution in 2001. After holding teaching positions at the University of Otago, Brunel University, and Unitec New Zealand, Paul returned to the UK to take up the position of Lecturer in Coaching and Performance within the Department of Sport, Health and Exercise Science at The University of Hull. Paul's main research interest is concerned with developing a sociological understanding of sports coaching, an aspect of practice which, to date, remains a little understood and under researched topic of inquiry. Currently, he is engaged in research projects that not only focus on how top-level coaches attempt to manipulate the working environment and cope with the multitude of variations that exist within it, but which also seek to probe athletes’ subjective experiences of their coaches and performance development. A further related research interest is that of examining coaching practitioners’ perceptions of the relative strengths and limitations of current coach education provision. It is envisaged that such research could conceivably result in improved practice by sports coaches, employers and administrators alike, to the greater benefit of all.

Lee Taylor

Lee MSP_3142
Lee gained a faculty leading first class B.Sc.(Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from The Nottingham Trent University, graduating in June 2006. His undergraduate dissertation focused upon hydration strategies and their impact upon cardiovascular variables during hyperthermic exercise. Upon graduation he lectured full time at an FE/HE college in Surrey focusing on exercise physiology and its clinical importance. Throughout his academic development Lee has been a personal trainer and performed services with numerous teams whilst undertaking work with special populations. He joined the department in September 2007 as a graduate teaching assistant and full time exercise physiology doctoral student. His Ph.D. thesis is based upon Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) and their diurnal/circadian rhythms. The establishment of this information will enable an environmental physiology (hyperthermia, hypothermia, hypoxia and hypobaric) portfolio of HSP response to be produced and thus applied to both clinical and exercise settings. The nature of the thesis enables interdepartmental collaborations. This is reflected by the strong clinical and biochemistry influences observed within the research methods employed. Lee's sporting interests are varied and has played professional cricket and representative football. He enjoys training, competing and following numerous other sports and is often seen at Stadium MK following his local side Milton Keynes Dons. He is currently looking to compete in his first triathlon. This passion for sport has led to him living and playing competitive cricket in South Africa with travel remaining one of his favourite pastimes.

Dr Natalie Vanicek

Natalie MSP_3131
Natalie joined the Department of Sport, Health and Exercise Science as Lecturer in Biomechanics in 2004, with a particular interest in musculoskeletal biomechanics and clinical gait analysis. Natalie graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) from the University of Portsmouth in 2002. She then went on to complete a 2-year M.Sc. degree from the University of British Columbia in Canada in 2004. Natalie's Ph.D. research investigated the biomechanical differences between transtibial amputee and able-bodied fallers and non-fallers. These studies monitored 3D kinematic and kinetic patterns of movement during typical daily activities (walking, stair ascent and descent, balance and postural control) and examined them in relation to the incidence of falls. In 2008, Natalie formed the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Group (MSBG) together with Dr Catherine Dobson from Medical and Biological Engineering at Hull, and they currently co-supervise several post-graduate research students. Natalie has received and collaborated on grants to support research in gait and balance from the Circulation Foundation, Lifelong Health and Wellbeing Cross Council Initiative (Medical Research Council), BUPA foundation and Hull & East Yorkshire NHS Trust. Her current research interests are to improve functional mobility in lower-limb amputees, older individuals and those affected by peripheral vascular disease. Outside of academia, Natalie's sporting interests include alpine skiing, mountain biking, hiking and running.
