Dr. Daniel Tough

Daniel joined Lincoln Bishop University in August 2021. He holds a Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Sciences from the University of Sunderland (2014), where his research explored the physiological cost of exergaming (exercise-based video gaming) compared to sedentary gaming in adolescents. He went on to complete his PhD at Teesside University, focusing on the risk factors for falls following surgery in people with lung cancer.

Alongside his research, Daniel has taught across a range of sport, exercise, and clinical healthcare modules, bringing an applied and evidence-based approach to teaching. His current teaching interests lie in Biomechanics and Physiology, and he enjoys helping students link theory with real-world practice.

His research interests include exergaming and lung cancer rehabilitation, particularly including how innovative approaches to physical activity can support clinical recovery and improve quality of life. Daniel has published in several peer-reviewed journals and acts as a peer reviewer for multiple academic journals.
