Dr Amie Woodward

Teaching

My teaching experience is in the area of exercise physiology, physical activity and health. I also contribute to research-specific training and sessions delivered to staff and post-graduate students.

Research

I currently conduct research focused on the role of physical activity and exercise in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, both in clinical and non-clinical populations, My research interests include exercise physiology and lipid metabolism, particularly the impact of physical activity on lipid molecules implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. I am experienced in the development and management of clinical trials and conducting systematic reviews.
