Louise Turner

Dr. Louise Turner is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition at the School of Sport and Physical Activity, part of the College of Health, Wellbeing and Life Sciences at Sheffield Hallam University. She holds a BSc from Cardiff Metropolitan University, an MSc from Indiana University, and a PhD in Human and Exercise Physiology (Human Performance) from Indiana University (2010). Her research focuses on cardiopulmonary responses to exercise across health and disease, including exercise-induced asthma and the interplay between nutrition, physical activity, and airway health. She received the American College of Sports Medicine-Gatorade Sport Science Institute Award for her contributions to sport nutrition research.

Teaching responsibilities include modules such as

• Foundations of Physiology and Nutrition in Sport and Exercise
• Applied Nutrition for Sport and Exercise
• Scientific Principles in Physical Activity

Her research explores training and nutritional interventions to improve exercise performance and respiratory health, with recent work emphasizing acute/chronic exercise-nutrition interactions. Key findings include drink temperature effects on pulmonary function and inspiratory muscle training benefits for respiratory efficiency. Awards reflect recognition of her innovative contributions to sport nutrition science.

Advisory and grants information is currently unavailable, but her professional memberships include the American College of Sports Medicine, British Association of Sport and Exercise Science, and affiliate roles with the European Respiratory Society.
