Unapologetically You. Ep #8 John Fernandes

John is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at Hartpury. He currently leads the BSc Sport and Exercise Sciences degree. Prior to this he lectured at the University of Chester whilst completing his PhD which examined the fatigue and recovery responses to resistance exercise in trained middle-aged males. John’s recent research has focused on velocity-based training, particularly seeking to explore the reliability and agreement of wearable accelerometers and linear position transducers. His other research interests include exercise-induced muscle damage and ageing. John has recently been appointed to the BASES Equality, Diversity and Inclusion committee and is heavily involved in these issues within Sport and Exercise Sciences.

In this episode we talk about John’s experiences and obstacles which he had faced when applying for jobs. We also discuss how BASES and UKSCA are making changes to include roles which bring about discussions around inequalities. A must listen!
