Biography

Dr David Muggeridge is a Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at Â鶹ÉçÇø and the Research Degrees Lead for the School of Applied Sciences. He is the Research and Innovation Theme for the sport, exercise and health research group and teaches across the sport and exercise science programmes. He is currently the module leader for Intermediate Exercise Physiology (Level 9), Work Placement (Level 10) and Clinical Skills II (Level 11). In addition, David contributes to Foundations of sport and Exercise science (level 7), Introduction to Exercise Physiology (level 8) and Advanced Exercise Physiology (Level 10).

David graduated from his undergraduate B.Sc with Honours in Sport Science at Kingston University in 2011. He subsequently completed his Ph.D in Exercise Physiology at University of the West of Scotland in 2015, investigating the influence of dietary nitrate supplementation and UV-A light exposure on parameters of exercise in healthy adult males. Postdoctoral and research fellow positions followed in the area of cardiovascular and digital health with focus on measurement, physical activity and exercise and their relation to human physiology.

Dr Muggeridge's research at the university is primarily focussed within the Centre for Cardiovascular Health. He is currently leading research into the effects of sunlight exposure and seasonal variation in vascular function. He currently supervises a PhD project exploring the Seasonal Utilisation of Nitric Oxide, funded by the School of Applied Sciences and School of Health and Social Care and supported by the UK Health Security Agency. Dr Muggeridge also supports additional projects, including leading research with Hibernian Football club and as a Co-investigator for two Spontaneous Coronary Artery Disease (SCAD) projects, funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing and Heart Research UK.

David is an active member of the Physiological Â鶹ÉçÇø and is the ENU University Rep to the society.

Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis Of An Individualized Consultation To Change Sedentary Behavior In The Workplace

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirk, A., Gibson, A. M., Hughes, A., & Muggeridge, D. (2017, May)
Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis Of An Individualized Consultation To Change Sedentary Behavior In The Workplace. Presented at American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) 2017 Annual Meeting, Denver, Colorado
Independent of an individual’s physical activity levels, prolonged periods of sedentary behavior are detrimental to health. Office-based workers engage in prolonged periods of...

Postural Induced Changes in Plasma Volume Inversely Influences Plasma Nitrite Concentration in Humans

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liddle, L., Monaghan, C., McIlvenna, L. C., Burleigh, M. C., Muggeridge, D. J., & Easton, C. (2017, May)
Postural Induced Changes in Plasma Volume Inversely Influences Plasma Nitrite Concentration in Humans. Presented at American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) 2017 Annual Meeting, Denver, Colorado
Moving from a supine to a standing position typically reduces plasma volume (PV) and while this increases the concentration of some molecules in the blood, the effect on plasm...

Anti-Bacterial Mouthwash Reduces Plasma Nitrite Following Dietary Nitrate Supplementation but Does Not Alter Stress Response

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Easton, C., Monaghan, C., Liddle, L., McIlvenna, L., Burleigh, M., Muggeridge, D. J., Fernandez, B. O., & Feelisch, M. (2017, May)
Anti-Bacterial Mouthwash Reduces Plasma Nitrite Following Dietary Nitrate Supplementation but Does Not Alter Stress Response. Presented at American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) 2017 Annual Meeting, Denver, Colorado
Rinsing the mouth with anti-bacterial mouthwash (MW) suppresses the reduction of nitrate (NO3-) to nitrite (NO2-) and nullifies the reduction in blood pressure (BP) often repo...
