" Dr Jim Wiles, BA, MPhil, CertEd, graduated with a 1st class honours in Movement Studies and Education from Canterbury Christ Church University and then completed an MPhil in Exercise Physiology (Kent University) which examined the effects of caffeine on high intensity running performance. "
I completed my PhD, focused on the effects of isometric exercise on selected cardiovascular variables with specific reference to blood pressure.
I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and currently sits on the Section steering group responsible for ensuring the continued development and success of the suite of Sport and Exercise Science degree pathways.
I also play an active role in the delivery of postgraduate provision within both the Section and wider University. Over the last 15 years I have developed a world leading research profile in the area of isometric exercise and blood pressure management, which has led to a number of successful funding applications in recent years.
I am a keen sportsman who actively participates in a wide range of sports and outdoor activities.
