Organisation profile
Our research group aims to improve health and wellbeing through exercise, nutritional supplementation and general wellbeing activities. We have a diverse range of research occurring from forest bathing to performing high intensity exercise for improving health and wellbeing. We have recently acquired a Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL) which is a gait lab and is a total package solution for gait analysis and training. With this, we have a new emphasis on healthy ageing and is a growing subgroup of research within this research group.
Members of this group embrace varied domains of sports and exercise related research including: exercise physiology, clinical biomechanics, sport and exercise psychology, clinical nutrition and sports nutrition.
What we provide:
- Knowledge and skills in exercise, health and wellbeing research
- A forum for collaboration and research mentoring
- First class research facilities
- Postgraduate research supervision
- Space to stay up to date with one another and our wider networks
