Jost Peterca

Jost studied BSc at the University of Ljubljana Slovenia where he first showed an interest in sport science and performed his first research. To develop his knowledge and gain experiences he came to the UK to study MSc Sport and Exercise Science at Middlesex University. He graduated with the research investigating the influence of fatigue on basketball jump shot performance. During the undergraduate study in Slovenia, Jost expanded his knowledge in various sports and he gained the coaching licences and certificates.

Later his passion for sport science prevailed and he performed and assisted several studies in cooperation between London Sport Institute, SportsInstitute in Ljubljana and Basketball Association of Slovenia. The latest research was presented in the British Association of Sport and Exercise Scientists Annual Conference and published in the Conference edition of The Journal of Sports Science. Jost joined BCOM in 2019 to lecture Physiology and Exercise Physiology in Year 1 and Year 2 and also to help with testing in the Research Laboratory. Academia and lecturing together with the research is the career that he wants to pursue and develop in the future.
