The Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Science areas of expertise are organised into research groups and exchanges which focus on the following: biomechanics, cardiovascular health, exercise metabolism, brain and behaviour, physical activity, sport psychology and football-related research.
Sport and Exercise Sciences
General Engineering Research Institute (GERI) have a number of facilities, from laboratories and microscopes to lasers and x-ray machines.
The Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour has dedicated facilities including: EEG, psychophysiology, appetite research and neuroscience microneurography laboratories plus experimental testing booths and a sleep-over rest room. We also share a number of facilities with other science departments within the University.

MEMARC's members conduct research into materials development, as well as biological systems and sports engineering. Learn more about this research, the researchers who work in this area and the materials development and processing projects members have completed.
The RISCS (Research to Improve Stair Climbing Safety) group of RISES is looking for people over the age of 65 years to take part in a study that aims to develop a community-level screening tool that can detect the risk of a fall on stairs specifically.
The Institute for Health Research's expertise is wide ranging. From cardiovascular health to image and performance enhancing drugs, and children's health to green spaces. Find out more about our interest groups.
The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for students, academics, and practitioners to connect and share knowledge to create, promote, and lead change for women and girls across all facets of sport.
