Dr. Stephanie Lazarczuk is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Health at Solent University, specializing in sports medicine and musculoskeletal injury prevention. Her research focuses on lower limb muscle-tendon adaptations, hamstring strain injuries, and injury prevention strategies in professional sports such as Major League Baseball and Rugby. She is currently completing a PhD at Griffith University investigating hamstring tendon adaptation to exercise/loading.

Research Interests:
- Hamstring strain injury mechanisms and prevention
- Muscle-tendon adaptations to training and injury
- Kicking-related injuries in rugby
- Rehabilitation protocols post-ACL reconstruction
- Performance optimization in combat sports and West End performers

Her publications span systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical studies, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to injury prevention and rehabilitation. She actively contributes to academic discourse through peer-reviewed journals and podcasts like 'How I Rehab,' where she discusses practical applications of her research. Dr. Lazarczuk is currently accepting PhD students focusing on lower limb muscle-tendon injury and adaptation to training.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with Griffith University and professional sports organizations on injury prevention initiatives. Her work integrates biomechanical analysis, clinical practice, and athlete performance data to develop targeted interventions.
