Isabel (Izzy) Moore is a reader of human movement and sports medicine at Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales and actively researches and teaches in the area biomechanics and physiology.[1]

Moore's research has predominantly focused on female athlete health, sports injury epidemiology and lower limb rehabilitation, and implementation of evidence into guidelines, recommendations in sport and public health.[1][2]

Biography

[edit]

Moore earned her PhD from the University of Exeter, with a thesis on running economy.[1][3] She joined Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2013 as a post‑doctoral researcher and became a lecturer in 2015.[1]

Following her PhD, Moore completed post-doctoral research undertaking sports health epidemiology to develop and inform inclusive injury prevention and management policies.[2][4]

Her current research focuses on female athlete health, sports injury epidemiology and lower limb rehabilitation. In this area she has received over £1.4 million in funding to develop injury prevention strategies in Women's rugby league where she specifically targets brain and pelvic health.[5] In doing so Moore also co-led the development of the first return to play postpartum guidelines in a contact sport for World Rugby and postpartum return to sport has become a specialty of hers.[6][7] She is an Associate Editor for the British Journal of Sports Medicine.[8]
