Name: Dr Lauren Sherar
Role: Senior Lecturer in Physical Activity and Public Health
Institution: Loughborough University
Short profile:
Dr Sherar’s research area is in the associations among physical activity/sedentary
behaviour, body composition and health in children and adolescents and in select
clinical adult populations. She has a specific interest in the investigation of biological,
social and environmental determinants of activity and sedentary behaviours in a
manner to inform interventions.
Current projects: Personalised physical activity prescription for cardiac and
pulmonary rehabilitation
Patients commonly present with more than one long-term condition, however,
disease management frequently remains in silos. This research aims to use the
‘exercise is medicine’ approach to investigate the impact of physical activity on the
multi-morbid patient (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic
heart failure as exemplars). Specifically this research will explore the viability of
developing and testing a generic rehabilitation programme at the National Centre for
Sport and Exercise Medicine - East Midlands to understand the interaction between
rehabilitation, exercise, physical activity and comorbidities.

University, Canadian Institutes of Health Research
Areas of expertise: Longitudinal data design, measurement of biological maturation
and objective measurement of physical activity/sedentary behaviours
