The Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.
Excellent teaching and real-world experience sets you up for a bright future in the sport science and exercise industry. Our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees are in sport and exercise science, science and football, sports psychology, biomechanics, physiology and nutrition for sports.
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.
The state-of-the-art laboratories, equipment and technologies within the School of Sport and Exercise Science are world-class. With a sleep research unit, respiratory clinic and acclimation chamber, eye tracking and motion capture, various image processing and microscopy suites and much more available to students and researchers.
Our research aims to improve cardiovascular health via exercise training and physical activity. Our two main areas of expertise are cardiac function and structure and vascular function and structure in health and disease.
Programme for the 2023 Women's Physiology and Nutrition Symposium
Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health has expertise in human exercise physiology, experimental models of muscle adaptation and state-of-the-art mass spectrometry for proteomic and metabolomic studies.
Learn how our research on female athletes uncovers the impact of hormonal changes on performance, helping develop personalised training and nutrition plans for women.
The Women's Physiology and Nutrition Symposium is hosted by exercise metabolism researchers Dr Jennifer Barrett, Dr Kelsie Johnson and Dr Juliette Strauss from our Research institute of Sport and Exercise Science department.
