Overview

To date, this has primarily focussed on use within resistance-based training but may be well suited to application within other training modalities.

Features

Sprint interval training (SIT) has been shown to be a novel, time efficient training modality for improving aerobic performance in an array of individuals. However, the impact of overload and progression during SIT training is currently unknown.

Therefore, this Autoregulation of Sprint Interval Training PhD at Robert Gordon University would investigate the effect of autoregulation during SIT.

Other requirements

General requirements

Normal entry requirements are a first or upper second class honours degree from a University of the United Kingdom, or from an overseas University, or degree equivalent qualification, subject to the approval of Robert Gordon University.

Applicants holding other qualifications shall be considered on their merits and in relation to the nature and scope of the proposed research programme.

Applicants will normally register for an MSc/PhD or MRes/PhD with transfer to PhD dependent on satisfactory progress. However, applicants who already possess a Master’s degree which includes a significant research component could be registered directly for a PhD, subject to a satisfactory research proposal, and clear evidence of research expertise.

Some Research Degree Topics require employment experience, research experience and/or transcripts for international qualifications.
