Dr. Scott Hannah is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader at the University of Winchester, overseeing the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science programme. He holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology from Ulster University, an MSc from Middlesex University, and a BSc from the University of Suffolk. His expertise spans Exercise Physiology, Bone Health, and Environmental Physiology. He leads the WinWell consultancy unit, providing physiological assessments to elite sports organizations like the English National Ballet and Saracens Rugby Club. Dr. Hannah is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Physiological Society.

His research focuses on bone metabolism’s response to exercise under environmental stressors (e.g., hypoxia), and the role of physical activity in chronic disease management (e.g., stroke rehabilitation). Recent studies explore arterial stiffness in resistance training and sedentary behavior’s impact on Long COVID patients. He advocates student development through industry collaborations and placements.

Key awards include the Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy. Supervised PhD topics include robotic-gait training for stroke patients and the effects of resistance exercise on cardiovascular health.

WinWell, his consultancy initiative, supports athletes via VO2max testing and lactate threshold analysis, emphasizing applied sport science.
