Matt Greig

Dr. Matt Greig is a Professor of Sport & Exercise Biomechanics and Associate Head (Sports Therapy) at Edge Hill University's Department of Sport and Physical Activity. He joined Edge Hill in 2008, previously serving as discipline lead for Biomechanics at the University of Hull and as a sports scientist with the Football Association. His role includes senior management, teaching on Sports Therapy programs, and supervising postgraduate students at the master's and PhD levels.

Research Interests:

• Biomechanical markers of injury risk in intermittent team sports (football, rugby, netball, cricket, dance, equestrian).
• Development of biomechanical tools for injury risk identification and rehabilitation optimization.
• Isokinetic dynamometry screening batteries and functional analysis metrics.
• Application of GPS technology to injury risk assessment.

He leads the Sports Injuries research group, focusing on interdisciplinary approaches combining biomechanics and sports therapy. His work emphasizes translating research into practical applications for athletes, including injury prevention and performance enhancement strategies.

Advising & Grants: Actively supervises postgraduate students but no grant details are explicitly stated in the text. His research outputs span biomechanics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, with a focus on functional metrics in elite and youth sports.
