Dr Vicky Stiles

With a background in biomechanics, my research identifies bone-specific characteristics of everyday activity and training loads that can promote bone health across the lifespan to help prevent both osteoporosis and running-related injuries. 

I have expertise in collecting and analysing laboratory-based biomechanical data, generating new population-specific datasets and analysing large-scale physical activity data collected in free-living individuals. The bone-specific accelerometer-derived metrics developed by my research are applicable to a range of populations (general population, athletes/players, military).

I’m a member of the Physical Activity and Health Across the Lifespan (PAHAL) and Human Movement Sciences (HMS) research groups.
