Isabel (Izzy) Moore is a reader of human movement and sports medicine at Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales and actively researches and teaches in the area biomechanics and physiology.

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

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.
