Research

At the Department of Sport, Health and Exercise Science, we believe research is an integral part of our work. All the knowledge we acquire is delivered as part of our teaching to ensure our students hold the most up-to-date knowledge.

We work with professionals from across the world including the UK, Europe, USA and Australia.

Our Research Themes are:

• Musculoskeletal Health across the Lifespan (MHL)
• Sport and Coaching Pedagogy (SCP)
• Stress and Exercise Tolerance (SET)
• Psychological Assessment and Development across the Lifespan (PADL)

The latest Research Assessment Exercise rated that 90% of our research was of international or national standard, with 10% of our work considered as internationally excellent.

Our projects include researching injury prevention in team sports, exploring half-time recovery strategies in football and studying identity and emotions in coaching practice.
