Appointed Senior Lecturer in 1976 at UCH, he taught on a much-appreciated MSc course in Human and Applied Physiology based at Kings College London. In 1993 he became Head of the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Birmingham University and, following retirement, moved to Manchester Metropolitan University where he continued an active research career with many international collaborators.
