Alex Beaumont

Dr. Alex Beaumont is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at York St John University, affiliated with the School of Science, Technology and Health. He holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of the West of Scotland (2019) and teaches modules in sport and exercise science, including 'Applied Sport and Exercise Physiology' and 'Interdisciplinary Working in Sport.' As course lead for the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science, he focuses on cardiac physiology, aging, and exercise adaptations. His research explores cardiovascular health, pediatric physiology, and the impact of sports like golf on wellbeing. He supervises three PhD students and collaborates internationally, including with the PAtCH research group.

Research interests include echocardiography-based cardiac mechanics, long-term exercise training effects, and menopause-related physical activity. He has published in journals such as Sports Medicine and European Journal of Applied Physiology. Teaching emphasizes practical applications of physiology, supported by his Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (2021).

Publications span topics like golf caddying's health benefits, HIIT in aging populations, and youth soccer training's cardiac impacts. No formal awards are listed, but his work has been presented globally. He advocates for interdisciplinary approaches in sport science education and research.
