Research Interests

Dan’s main research focus is on the measurement of exercise exposures in the field, particularly the analysis of wearable technology data to critically evaluate the extent that measurements represent different types of exercise. He has contributed several peer-reviewed articles and invited commentaries on the topic and is regularly invited to speak at conferences.

More specifically, this has focused on the creation of new measurement techniques through collaborations with the School of Computing and the use and integration of analysis techniques to assist decision making in applied practice. Given the physiological, biomechanical and psycho-social interactions within exercise measurement, Dan hopes to continue to bring these disciplines together to improve the outcomes of exercise measurement in the field.
