Phoebe Lloyd-Evans
I completed a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science in 2020 at the University of Stirling, followed by an MSc in Exercise as Medicine in 2021 at Loughborough University, and then my PhD in 2026 at the University of Leicester, where I focused on the development of personalised physical activity cutpoints for individuals with chronic respiratory diseases. In my current role, I clean, process, and summarise accelerometer data to ensure that it accurately reflects participants' movement behaviours and energy expenditure. My main research interests include measuring physical activity in populations with chronic disease, with a particular focus on physical activity intensity.
