The sport and exercise research theme is multidisciplinary and focusses primarily on two key areas, 1) athlete health and performance and 2) population health. Our athlete health and performance research explores the determinants of human performance and injury in sport and exercise, which includes advanced methods of assessing and enhancing athletic performance across the ability range (e.g., recreational [such as habitual runners], and elite athletes [such as professional footballers]). We work closely with several national and international sports organisations and sports technology providers to support this research area through funded projects. With respect to population health, we investigate the mechanisms by which exercise, physical activity, and nutrition aids health and either prevents or treats injury and disease. We also explore how improving exercise, physical activity and eating behaviours can enrich the daily lives of various population groups via targeted biomechanical, physiological, and nutritional assessments and interventions.
