Stuart Cocksedge

Stuart Cocksedge is a Researcher in the Department of Sports & Exercise Sciences, affiliated with the Centre for Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Sciences. His work focuses on the intersection of biochemistry and exercise physiology, particularly investigating the effects of microalgae-based supplements like Tetraselmis chuii on human health. He explores mechanisms involving transcription factors (e.g., Nrf2), antioxidant enzymes, and their roles in skeletal muscle function and oxygen uptake.

Recent research highlights include clinical trials assessing Tetraselmis supplementation’s impact on peak oxygen uptake and molecular studies on superoxide dismutase’s role in cellular health. His findings contribute to understanding dietary interventions in sports nutrition and oxidative stress management.
