Research interests
Dr Tyler's research focusses on human responses to extreme hot and cold environments. More specifically his main interest focuses on how to minimise the strain and performance impairements often observed in such conditions - this involves cooling interventions and heat acclimation.
Dr Tyler has worked with industry (e.g. Nike) and elite sport (e.g. Formula One) and has presented this work at conferences in America and Europe.
Research projects
Dr Tyler continues to research the use of practical cooling devices in hot environments. Current projects are investigating the effects of cooling interventions and dietary supplementation on neuromuscular performance; optimal heat acclimation approaches; and practical cooling interventions for team sports.
Recent collaborators include Nike, Professor Stephen Cheung, Dr. Caroline Sunderland, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Dr Mike Stroud and the TAWT team, Nike Inc., McLaren Formula 1, and Dr. Keith Stokes.
Professional affiliations
