معرفی
Louisa Beale is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Education, Sport and Health, University of Brighton. Her academic and professional work bridges research, teaching, and community engagement in sport and exercise science.
- PhD in Exercise Physiology (2010)
- Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (Higher Education Academy, UK)
- BASES Certified Exercise Practitioner (revalidated 2017)
- Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist (Level 4 certification, revalidated 2018)
Her research focuses on physical activity's role in disease prevention and management, including cardiac rehabilitation, exercise during pregnancy, fall prevention in the elderly, and thermoregulation in cancer survivors. She has collaborated with NHS trusts, charities, and leisure providers to translate findings into clinical practice.
Recent work examines thermoregulation, sweat analysis, and wearable technology for monitoring physiological responses to heat stress and exercise. Her studies often address gender-specific and chronic disease populations, with methodological rigor in clinical trials and intervention design.
She supervises PhD students in areas like exercise cardiology, high-intensity interval training, and patient-centered rehabilitation. Her teaching emphasizes community-based learning and employability through the BSc(Hons) Sport and Exercise Science program.
Collaborations span institutions like Canterbury Christ Church University, Cancer United, and the University of Chester. Current projects include thermoregulatory impacts on breast cancer survivors' quality of life and validity of wearable sweat monitors.
