Sport & Biological Sciences Research Centre

Welcome to the Sport and Biological Sciences Research Centre

The science of sport and exercise not only serves to enhance the physical performance of elite athletes, but also helps to address some of the world’s most demanding health challenges, such as physical inactivity, unhealthy ageing, obesity, and Type 2 diabetes. As such, our research activity spans across a broad range of investigative areas, from Super League Rugby to Premiership Football, Olympic Athleticism to High-Altitude Mountaineering, and from Cancer Rehabilitation to supporting Veterans who have lost limbs. 

Postgraduates

Our innovative Exercise and Health repertoire covers a wide spectrum, from athletic performance to physical and mental health, guaranteeing that our post-graduates have the skills, knowledge, and drive to become future experts in their chosen fields.

As your research journey progresses you will be able to shape your investigations to suit your personal interests and career aspirations. Your research activities will range from laboratory science in our state-of-the-art Sport, Exercise, and Rehabilitation facility, to community engagement across our diverse home town and the wider Greater Manchester region. These experiences will help you make a meaningful difference and an invaluable contribution to the real world.
