Dr Julian Werth

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Applied Sciences at London South Bank University (LSBU). I began my academic journey with a BSc in Sport Science, followed by an MA in Sport Gerontology at other institutions (Bochum, Cologne: Germany). I then joined LSBU in 2018 to pursue my PhD in Human Sciences, and completed in early 2023.

My research focuses on exercise-induced adaptation in locomotion and stability control, a key theme of my PhD. The core of my doctoral work was centered on enhancing fall resilience through these adaptations. In my current postdoctoral phase, I continue to explore the transfer and retention of exercise-induced stability control adaptation phenomena, extending this research to both virtual and physical worlds.
One of my recent research projects includes examining the effect of visually induced gait perturbations on forward-fall resilience in the physical world. This study integrates the principles of my earlier work with new challenges posed by visual stimuli, aiming to understand how these affect gait stability and contribute to fall prevention strategies, particularly in real-world scenarios.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have been established as a private exercise coach in London. My experience and expertise in sports coaching were honed during my time at a high-end medical clinic in London, where I worked as a sports coach for the past 4 years.
