Brief profile

Dr Kingsley has over 50 peer-reviewed publications to his name in nutrition, sports medicine, sports science and medical journals. These publications have disseminated research in the following fields: lifestyle interventions and health, exercise-induced oxidative stress, heart rate variability analysis, applied nutritional supplementation, and power analysis in professional athletes.

As an experienced postgraduate supervisor (13 completions and 2 current students), Dr Kingsley has supervised student completions at PhD, MPhil and MSc programme levels. Further contributions to scholarly environment include serving as an Editorial Board member of two international journals (Nutrition and Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity) and regularly reviewing for numerous scholarly journals, grant providers and institutions. Additionally, he is an advisor for the NHS Research Priorities Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, Romanian National Council for Scientific Research, and Commonwealth Scholarship schemes. With collaborators from a wide range of disciplines, which include Engineering, Medicine, Nanotechnology, Psychology and Information Technologies, Dr Kingsley has successfully obtained external funding in excess of £1M. This funding has included commissioned research for commercial groups, Welsh Assembly Government, National Health Service, Local Education Authority and professional / semi-professional sports teams (including: Welsh Rugby Union, Ospreys Rugby Football Club, Swansea Rugby Football Club, Aberavon Rugby Football Club and Swansea City Football Club). He collaborates with colleagues from the School of Engineering, School of Medicine, Department of Psychology and the School of Health Science in addition to external researchers from Queen's University Belfast, University of Glasgow and Rhodes University. Dr Kingsley is British Association of Sports Sciences (BASES) Accredited as a Sport & Exercise Scientist (Physiology - research).

He is currently working on research projects funded by Laerdal Ltd and Paramedics Australasia. Three recent externally funded projects include a collaborative project between Swansea University's School of Engineering and industry, which has received a £215k grant from the Welsh Assembly Government to develop respiratory aids that mimic the performance of healthy lungs. The project, which began in July 2010, brings together academics from Sport and Exercise Science and the Centre for Complex Fluids Processing with four industrial partners. The two-year project, entitled the Development of responsive control systems for an artificial lung, has been funded through the Academic Expertise for Business (A4B) Collaborative Industrial Research Projects scheme. The second research project, which started in July 2010, is a commercially funded (£10k) one year study to evaluate the influence of bespoke carbohydrate supplementation regimes on skill performance during high-intensity intermittent exercise. This work develops on an earlier study funded by The Sugar Bureau (£25k). The third current project aims to evaluate the influence of lifestyle interventions (exercise and nutrition) on metabolic disorders in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (including transplant recipients and patients on maintenance haemodialysis).
