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.
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.
