Jonathan joined the EIS in 2007, and was Lead Physiologist for the British Cycling Team in the lead up to London 2012. His PhD focused on understanding the effectiveness of recovery strategies, giving him the ability to make scientifically informed decisions regarding management of recovery in athletes.

Dr Gary Brickley is a senior lecturer in Exercise Physiology and Sports Nutrition, who also coaches high performance Paralympic cyclists. After his undergraduate degree, Gary completed his PhD in muscle metabolism during high intensity exercise. He followed his PhD, with a MSc in cardiology. Gary worked for British Cycling as a physiologist at the start of lottery funding and has since worked with Paracyclists through 4 Paralympic Games. 

He is a BASES accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist, holder of the Musabini medal for elite coaching and has published work on cycling, race walking, swimming, diabetes and heart failure. During this time in cycling his athletes have won 15 Paralympic gold medals and have broken world records from 200m to the track hour record.
