Mae Ymchwil Chris yn canolbwyntio ar effeithiau cronig ac aciwt ymarfer corff ar yr ymylon a'r parlys fasgwlaidd ym mhob rhan o'r oes. Mae'n defnyddio technegau uwchsain blaengar i ymchwilio i effaith therapiwtig hyfforddiant ymarfer corff ac ymyriadau eraill megis therapi gwres, trochi dŵr, achosion o isgemia rhag blaen a deunyddiau fferyllol newydd er mwyn lleihau'r risg o glefyd cardiofasgwlaidd mewn poblogaethau sy'n agored i niwed. Ar hyn o bryd, mae ymchwil Chris yn rhoi sylw i bedwar maes allweddol:
· Dylanwad ymarfer arferol ar heneiddio fasgwlaidd iach
- Effeithiau annibynnol a chyfunol hyfforddiant ymarfer corff a therapi statin wrth atal clefyd cardiofasgwlaidd yn bennaf
· Dylanwad ffitrwydd cardioanadlol a statws gordewdra ar yr ymylon a'r parlys fasgwlaidd ar draws yr oes.
· Nodweddiad 'Rhydweli'r Athletwyr': O lifynnau pŵer i redwyr marathon eithafol.
