Marie Grigg

I am a PhD student at Coventry University under the supervision of Professor David Broom (Director of Studies), Dr Doug Thake and Dr Judith Allgrove (Kingston University). I am researching the influence of exercise (land and water-based) on appetite and appetite-related hormones in adults.

I have worked as a lecturer in further and higher education for 15 years, planning and delivering modules relating to my subject specialisms which include sport and exercise physiology, exercise and nutrition science, exercise prescription, physical activity for health, nutrition for health, research methods, scientific support, laboratory skills and working with special population groups. I am also a course director and assessor for YMCAfit and deliver gym instructor and personal trainer qualifications and group indoor cycling.
