Tom Clifford is a Reader in Exercise and Health Nutrition at Loughborough University, having previously served as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University. He holds degrees from Brighton University (BSc), Portsmouth University (MSc), and Northumbria University (PhD). His research focuses on sports nutrition, exercise metabolism, and dietary supplements' effects on athletic performance and recovery. Key areas include antioxidant mechanisms, cannabinoid effects on exercise, and sleep patterns in elite athletes.
Education history includes:
- BSc (Hons) Sports & Exercise Science (2010, Brighton University)
- MSc Sports Performance (2012, Portsmouth University)
- PhD in Exercise & Health Nutrition (2017, Northumbria University)
Research interests span sports nutrition strategies, exercise-induced inflammatory responses, and gender-specific physiology. His work explores supplements like cannabidiol, curcumin, and collagen peptides for recovery purposes. He also investigates sleep architecture in elite soccer players and the impact of menstrual cycles on female athletes' well-being.
Awards include Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and British Association of Sports and Exercise Sciences accreditation. His contributions to sports science emphasize translational research bridging nutrition, exercise physiology, and clinical applications.
