Dr Izzy Moore
Reader in Human Movement and Sports Medicine
Cardiff School of Sport & Health Sciences
Overview
Dr. Moore is a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Medicine and joined the school in 2013 as a postdoctoral researcher and became a lecturer in 2015. Dr. Moore spent six years at the University of Exeter, completing her undergraduate degree and PhD thesis entitled "Running self-optimisation: Acute and short-term adaptations to running mechanics and running economy". Her research currently focuses on running gait retraining and she also works on several injury epidemiology projects, advising National Governing Bodies on injury prevention and management strategies.
She has published in a range of international peer reviewed journals and has experience conducting biomechanical gait assessments for a range of elite and non-elite athletes (runners, triathletes, amputee sprinters, marines, rugby players and tennis players).
