About

Heather Massey is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Her research focuses on the physiological and psychological effects of cold water immersion, as evidenced by her recent articles on topics such as the cold shock response, cold water swimming during pregnancy, and the impact of nocturnal hypoxia on glycaemic control. She is also interested in understanding the experiences of women in cold water swimming and the barriers to engaging in outdoor swimming trials.
