Alice Thackray

Alice Thackray is a Research Associate in Exercise Metabolism at Loughborough University since March 2015. She holds a PhD, MSc, and BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from Loughborough University, focusing on metabolic responses to physical activity.

Her research centers on exercise metabolism, appetite regulation, and cardiometabolic health. She investigates how physical activity impacts appetite-related hormones, postprandial metabolism, and glycaemic control across diverse populations, including South Asian and European adults, adolescents, and men with obesity.

Recent publications highlight her work on mixed-meal tolerance tests, interindividual variability in appetite responses, and the role of exercise in modulating metabolic health markers. Her studies employ systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and controlled trials to address methodological considerations and population-specific outcomes.
