Associate Professor Martin Thompson is the leader of a group of researchers examining ways of optimising performance. This performance may be in a field of athletics, or may involve performance of tasks in the workplace.

Other staff researchers involved include:

Dr Corinne Caillaud, who is interested in factors that limit or improve aerobic performance in highly trained athletes, with a focus on exercise-induced hypoxaemia, exercise-induced asthma, oxidative stress and the effects of drugs.
Dr John Brotherhood, who focusses on human physiological responses to physical activity in the real world, including both sport and workplace activity
Dr Helen O'Connor, working in the areas of sports nutrition and energy metabolism
Mr Tom Gwinn, whose primary interest is muscle function.
Dr Jacqui Raymond, who is currently conducting research in the area of performance in wheelchair athletes
