Christopher Ian Morse is a Reader in Exercise Physiology. He holds a PhD in Physiology from Manchester Metropolitan University from 2004, as well as several teaching qualifications. He has previously held positions as a postdoctoral researcher, lecturer, and senior lecturer at the Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK. He is currently focusing on clinical exercise physiology, specifically on how long-term or acute health perturbations may impact a) health-related outcomes related to quality of life, physical function, and physical behaviour and b) be mitigated by physical interventions such as exercise and training. He works with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and the elderly in areas related to bone, muscle, pain, fatigue, falls, metabolism, muscle damage, VO2max, QoL, joint stiffness, etc. Outside of clinical groups, he is interested in the impact of the menstrual cycle period on physical activity avoidance and adaptation. He is a full member of the Physiological Society (London). In 2021, his work on pain and glucose tolerance was included in Quinlivan, R. et al. ‘Adult North Star Network (ANSN): Consensus Guideline For The Standard Of Care Of Adults With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy’.
