About

Dr Richard Metcalfe is a Senior Lecturer in Health and Exercise Physiology within the Applied Sport, Technology, Exercise and Medicine (A-STEM) Research Centre. Having graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science (1st class) from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh in 2010, he subsequently completed his PhD in Health and Exercise Physiology at The University of Bath (2010-2015) under the supervision of Dr Niels Vollaard and Prof Dylan Thompson. He joined Swansea University in October 2017, after 3-years working as a Lecturer in Exercise and Health at Ulster University in Northern Ireland (2014-2017).

Career Highlights

Research

Richard's research interests span the effects of physical activity, exercise and nutrition on cardiometabolic health, but his primary research focus is on the health benefits of time-efficient high-intensity interval training (HIT). This strand of research aims to ‘optimise’ HIT protocols for sedentary populations by making them shorter and easier while retaining the associated health benefits. The last 10 years of his research has culminated in an exercise protocol which takes no longer than 10 minutes to complete (2 times/week) and involves no more than 40-seconds of high-intensity exercise. This protocol, termed reduced-exertion HIT (REHIT), has great potential to remove many of the barriers that prevent sedentary individuals from reaping the health benefits of regular exercise.

Taught Modules

SR-112 Human Physiology

The purpose of the module is to provide a basic introduction to the physiological systems and metabolic processes responsible for the transfer and utilisation of energy both at rest and during physical activity. This module is lecture and practical based and is intended to develop introductory knowledge and understanding on the structure and function of the human body from cellular to gross body systems fundamental to the later study of sports and exercise. The module practically investigates how to assess the physiological and biochemical state at rest and during exercise.
SR-145 Human Physiology

The purpose of the module is to provide a basic introduction to the physiological systems and metabolic processes responsible for the production and utilisation of energy both at rest and during physical activity. This module is lecture and practical based and is intended to develop introductory knowledge and understanding on the structure and function of the human body from cellular to gross body systems fundamental to the study of sports and exercises. The module practically investigates how to assess the physiological and biochemical state at rest and during exercise.
SR-333 Sport, Diet and Disease

The module will explore the major nutrients of concern in maintaining health and performance in athletes, and the nutrition and related issues surrounding selected diseases.
