معرفی
Elizabeth Horton is the Associate Director of Research and Engagement within the Senior Research Management Group at Coventry University. Her research focuses on exercise training interventions for chronic conditions such as end-stage renal disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disorders. She leads projects exploring physiological responses to exercise in clinical populations and evaluates the effectiveness of physical activity programs in healthcare settings.
Her academic background includes a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in pulmonary rehabilitation, where she investigated home-based self-management programs for COPD patients. She has published extensively on topics including hemodialysis physiology, pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes, and exercise referral scheme efficacy. Key collaborations involve multidisciplinary teams addressing cardiopulmonary and metabolic challenges in chronic disease management.
Dr. Horton’s work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being (SDG 3). Her research integrates clinical practice with translational physiology, emphasizing practical interventions to improve patient outcomes. She currently supervises PhD students and holds an h-index of 11 with significant citation impact in her field.
Recent studies highlight her focus on hemodynamic instability during dialysis, gender differences in gym attendance, and the design of structured physical activity programs for high-risk populations. Her projects often involve randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses to rigorously evaluate intervention effectiveness.
