Working in collaboration with students at the University of Lincoln, PESP members Dr Mark F Smith and Danny Taylor are launching a new research community initiative.

PESPConnect is an open-network  platform that’s purpose is to bring together academics, students and the wider community to explore and evolve shared research interests in the broad field of health, exercise and sport physiology.

Specifically focusing on the connection between mind and body, and group’s research objectives are to further our understanding of the psychophysiological  enhancement of health and performance though exercise and sport. PESPConnect aims to establish, nurture and grow a supportive and inclusive research community that can disseminate and share their research impact across a wide community thereby benefiting health, well-being and sport performance.

PESPConnect meets on a weekly basis within the University of Lincoln School of Business cafe affording opportunities to informally share research ideas, discuss research studies and develop ways in which research within the group can be disseminated across the University community and to encourage public engagement.
