AM Could you tell us about the work that you and your staff do with elite athletes?
SI The EIS delivers sports science and medical support to the UK’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes. I head up the physiology team. We work with the physiological sports, by which I mean the ones that require a big engine, or you could say the ones that hurt, i.e. rowing, running, cycling, swimming, triathlon. We work in tandem with the coach and athlete to understand an athlete’s capabilities and develop bespoke and individualised methods of preparation and performance, based on their individual profile.
