The Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences work with external partners in the sport and exercise realm. We offer public engagement services through 'Face to Face' as well as research and consultancy services within our areas of expertise.
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.
We deliver real-world solutions to the football community. Our areas of interest within football include: fitness and nutrition, psychology, match analysis, physical activity, skill acquistion and coaching, and performance analysis.
Our research is applicable to clinical and sport and exercise biomechanics. Our focus includes: musculo-skeletal growth and development, gait analysis, virtual rehabilitation, postural stability, footwear biomechanics, and artificial neural networks.
In the Brain and Behaviour Research Group within RISES, we study human motor behaviour from the neural level through to perception and cognition. Our two main areas of research are sensorimotor neuroscience and expert performance and learning.
The Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health (CaMP-LH) group aims to optimise muscle health throughout the human life course.
Discover how Dynamic Proteome Profiling reveals changes in protein quality in human muscle as we age, providing insights into improving lifelong health and muscle ageing.
Learn how our research on female athletes uncovers the impact of hormonal changes on performance, helping develop personalised training and nutrition plans for women.
