Sport and exercise performance research assesses the impact of training, technique and performance-related issues with regard to the participation and achievements of athletes and exercisers alike.
Our research is diverse, including outputs in the following areas: equipment design; equine biomechanics; cycling performance; ergogenic aids to performance; performance in extreme environments, chronobiology, paediatric work physiology; match analysis, SAQ conditioning, integrated sport and exercise performance.
World leading resources are available to our students and staff, and include bespoke biomechanics, physiology and biomedical laboratories. Our key equipment holdings include:
