Profile
Biography
Jason completed his PhD in sport and exercise science at the University of Essex in 2017. He has published peer-reviewed articles on a number of different topics such as youth athletic development, strength and conditioning and exercise interventions in older adults. His current research projects include the use of resistance training to improve mental health outcomes, evaluating the use of eccentric resistance training in youth and the application of plyometric training across a wide cross-section of populations. Jason currently supervises MSc and PhD students in these research areas.
