Journal of Sport Medicine, Science and Rehabilitation

Dr. Brett A. Baxter is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics at the University of Northampton, United Kingdom. He has been teaching in higher education since 2018, delivering courses in biomechanics, exercise physiology, strength and conditioning, and research methods while supervising doctoral, postgraduate, and undergraduate students. His research focuses on eccentric and isometric resistance training, neuromuscular rehabilitation, injury prevention, musculoskeletal adaptations, and exercise interventions for healthy ageing. Dr. Baxter has secured over £218,000 in competitive research funding, has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, regularly reviews manuscripts for international journals in exercise medicine and sports science, and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Scientists
