Biography

Moore earned her PhD from the University of Exeter, with a thesis on running economy.^[1][3] She joined Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2013 as a post‑doctoral researcher and became a lecturer in 2015.^[1]

Following her PhD, Moore completed post-doctoral research undertaking sports health epidemiology to develop and inform inclusive injury prevention and management policies.^[2][4]

Her current research focuses on female athlete health, sports injury epidemiology and lower limb rehabilitation. In this area she has received over £1.4 million in funding to develop injury prevention strategies in Women's rugby league where she specifically targets brain and pelvic health.^[5] In doing so Moore also co-led the development of the first return to play postpartum guidelines in a contact sport for World Rugby and postpartum return to sport has become a specialty of hers.^[6][7] She is an Associate Editor for the British Journal of Sports Medicine.^[8]
