Dr. Dave Saunders is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at the Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh, within the Institute for Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences (ISPEHS). He serves as the programme leader for the BSc Applied Sport Science degree. His research focuses on enhancing fitness and functional outcomes in elderly populations and patient groups, particularly stroke survivors, using evidence-based exercise interventions. He employs systematic review methodologies and meta-analyses to evaluate the impact of exercise on health outcomes post-stroke.
Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate courses on biochemistry of exercise, sports nutrition, and exercise physiology, as well as postgraduate modules in research methods and dissertation supervision. Currently supervising PhD student Nuno Oliveira, whose work examines the effects of fatigue on water-polo eggbeater kick kinematics.
No specific scientific awards are listed in the provided text. Research contributions emphasize improving rehabilitation strategies through structured exercise programs, highlighting the benefits of fitness interventions for stroke survivors' physical function, mental health, and reduced recurrence risks.
