How diet manipulation impacts energy balance and physical activity levels
This study will examine how diets varying in carbohydrate, fat, and sugar effect energy balance and physical activity levels.
High-intensity interval training for cardiometabolic health benefits in chronic paraplegia
This study will determine if upper-body high-intensity interval training is effective at improving cardiometabolic health outcomes in people with paraplegia.
Mobilising vitamin D sequestered in adipose tissue in humans with exercise (VitaDEx)
Vitamin D can become ‘trapped’ in our adipose (fat) tissue and this study will examine whether exercise can help to release it.
How altering breakfast consumption impacts energy balance and metabolism
This study will investigate the effects of altering the protein content of breakfast on energy balance and metabolism.

Get involved in our study on the effect of fasted exercise on cholesterol in men and women
Volunteer for this study and receive a 12-week exercise plan to help us understand more about the effects of fasted exercise on cholesterol.
Help us research physical activity, diet and glucose levels in free-living conditions
We are looking for volunteers to help us learn more about reliably measuring physical activity, diet and glucose levels.
Take part in our study about body size and metabolic health
We are inviting you take part in our study investigating the metabolism of individuals with extreme body size to manage health risks.
Help us explore the health effects of ketone drinks in older adults
We need volunteers to help us explore if consuming a ketone drink for four weeks improves immune, metabolic and cognitive health in adults aged 60 to 80 years.
