He is also currently working towards a PhD at the School of Sport, Health and Exercise Science at the University of Hull, UK on older adults’ lived experiences of aquatic exercise. He has also worked at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) as a research assistant. He previously studied at Loughborough University (BSc (Hons) and MSc) and the University of Leeds (MSc).
Adam’s research focuses upon the sociology of sport and physical activity. His interests include sports globalization, including the development of sport and physical activity in the United Kingdom (particularly aquatic activity), and international sports labor migration (particularly in Rugby League and Association Football). His research has a particular emphasis on understanding the lived experiences of participation in sport and physical activity among both elite and traditionally excluded groups. His current research includes a phenomenological investigation into older adults’ experiences of physical activity during cardiac rehabilitation, an evaluation of the Lincolnshire Sports Partnership’s ‘school wheelchair project,’ and an investigation into best practice for Exercise Referral Schemes in Eastern England.
