Dr. Mark Burnley

Lecturer, Exercise Physiology

Tel: 01970 628560
Email: mhb@aber.ac.uk

Principal areas of interest:
Control of muscle energetics in health and disease, cardio-respiratory physiology, endurance performance, training and exercise testing.


Mark received a BSc (Hons) degree in sport science from the University of Brighton in 1998, and soon after began work on a PhD thesis examining the effects of warming up on subsequent physiological responses to exercise. He received his doctorate in November 2001 and spent a year teaching physiology and biomechanics at the University of Brighton. He began his post at The University of Wales, Aberystwyth in August 2002.  He is the link tutor for the BSc (Hons) degree in Equine and Human Sport Science.  His teaching includes equine and human exercise physiology and biomechanics, and in his research he continues to investigate the kinetics of oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise.
