Martha Thomas

I graduated from Leeds Beckett University with a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science in 2020 and an MSc in Sport and Exercise Physiology in 2021. I started at the Leicester Diabetes Centre as a Research Assistant in 2022. I have predominately worked in data collection and intervention delivery, with a particular focus in exercise physiology and exercise training in clinical populations. In October 2023 I started a PhD with the University of Leicester, based at the Leicester Diabetes Centre. My PhD is looking to support people with multiple long-term conditions from undeserved groups to improve their 24-hour physical behaviours.
