Dr Andrew Usher
Andrew is an exercise physiologist, sport scientist, and performance nutritionist who works with athletes from all backgrounds and levels — from recreational competitors to world and Olympic champions. His PhD research at Abertay University pioneered the use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in professional boxing, and his methods are now adopted by leading practitioners and national governing bodies worldwide.
As a consultant to elite teams and a Full Member of The Physiological Society, Andrew bridges the gap between laboratory research and real-world performance — delivering data-driven insight that changes how athletes train, recover, and compete.
From the individual to the elite
Whether you're a recreational athlete looking to improve, a professional competitor preparing for the biggest stage, or a team seeking world-class consultancy — I provide the same evidence-based, data-driven approach tailored to your specific needs.
Team Consultancy
Working alongside coaching staff to deliver conditioning programmes, athlete monitoring, and physiological testing for elite sports teams. From NIRS-based session monitoring to long-term periodisation strategy.
Individual Athletes
One-to-one sport science support for athletes at every level. A complete service covering strength and conditioning oversight, performance nutrition, wellness monitoring, and education — all built around your personal performance blueprint.
Practitioner Mentorship
Through our pioneering Energy System Development course, we've mentored over 60 strength and conditioning coaches, sport scientists, and physiotherapists — bridging the gap between academic theory and elite-level application.
NIRS & muscle oxygenation
My PhD research explored the use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to measure muscle oxygenation kinetics in professional boxing — pioneering work that has since been applied across multiple sports and adopted by leading international practitioners.
More than just an algorithm
Our online remote monitoring portal gives athletes and coaches direct oversight from a leading physiologist — not a generic web algorithm. Every data point is reviewed, interpreted, and actioned by a human expert who understands the context.
The portal tracks health, wellness, training sessions, testing sessions, and provides readiness information — giving athletes and their coaches a complete physiological picture, continuously updated and personally interpreted.
No fads. Just results.
Whether you're an athlete, a team, or a practitioner looking to upskill — every service is grounded in published research, real-world experience, and a no-nonsense approach to performance.
