Overview
Liam is a lecturer in Sport and Exercise Nutrition. He completed his PhD at the University of Huddersfield focusing on how cocoa flavanols influence recovery in males and females following exercise-induced muscle damage. His research focuses on how plant compounds known as (poly)phenols can impact sport performance, recovery, and overall health. Previously, Liam has worked with elite sports teams such as Manchester City FC, Huddersfield Town AFC (and WAFC), and Huddersfield Giants RLFC.
