Jacob Jack
PGR Student
Overview
I am a Postgraduate Masters by research student in Sport and Health Sciences. I currently work as part of the Exeter Head Impacts, Brain Injury and Trauma (ExHIBIT) research group on the UEFA funded project which takes a multidiciplinary approach to examine heading in football. My research focusses on how heading in football alters parameters of cerebrovascular health, with a particular interest in how the repetitive insult influences neurovascular coupling. To examine this I employ vascular ultrasound techniques to track changes in blood flow in response to neural challenges.
