John Truelove
 Previous Degrees:
BA (Hons) Sport, Health & Exercise Science, University of Durham, 2002-2005
MSc Sport & Health Sciences, University of Exeter, 2005-2006
PhD Supervisors:
Ass. Prof. Craig Williams and Dr. Christopher Byrne
Research Topic:
Sodium ingestion: before, during and after exercise.
Profile:
John Truelove’s research investigates the cardiovascular, thermoregulatory and hydrating effects of ingesting sodium solutions before, during and after exercise. We have demonstrated that prior ingestion of highly concentrated sodium drinks increases pre-exercise plasma volume and that this adaptation has resulted in increased stroke volume, reduced in heart rate and improvements in exercise capacity. John’s research has also investigated pre-cooling with cold fluid ingestion and gustatory responses following exercise.
Away from academia, John enjoys reading, attending live music and pub quizzes, and playing football and cricket.
