About
Professor McNarry specialises in cardiorespiratory fitness across the health, fitness and lifespan with a particular interest in paediatric and clinical populations and the evaluation of interventions to promote physical activity and health. Her recent work has focused on the development of interventions such as the visualisation of physical activity using tangible objects, and inspiratory muscle and high intensity interval training for people with asthma, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Professor McNarry is also interested in the interactive effect of training and maturity on the bioenergetic responses of children and adolescents. This work has recently expanded to consider the development of skill proficiency during childhood and the influence of the concomitant processes of growth and maturation on the development of such skills and prevention of injury.
