Dr Jenny Peel

Jenny Peel is an exercise physiologist, specialising in thermal physiology and dietary supplementation. She recently completed her PhD at Swansea University, Wales, where her thesis examined the effect of dietary supplementation on physiological and thermoregulatory responses – such as core temperature, sweating and vascular changes – during rest and exercise in hot environmental conditions.

This research has relevance to athletes, military personnel and occupational workers, as many competitions, tactical operations and work take place in the heat and developing strategies to mitigate heat stress and maintain thermal balance are important to ensure both physical performance and health.
