Mae diddordebau ymchwil Kelly yn ymwneud yn fras â meysydd straen a pherfformiad. Yn benodol, mae ganddi ddiddordeb mewn archwilio'r prosesau sy’n effeithio ar sylw, sy'n sail i aflonyddu sgiliau o dan bwysau. Yn fwy diweddar, mae hyn wedi'i ymestyn i ymchwilio i rôl ail-fuddsoddi wrth wneud penderfyniadau mewn chwaraeon.
