Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences research at Brunel University London focuses on integrative aspects of human physiology, biomechanics and psychology of sport and exercise.

A primary aim is to further our fundamental understanding of the regulation and adaptation of the cardiovascular, respiratory and neuromuscular systems to exercise and training, as well as the physiological, biomechanical and psychological limitations to human sports performance and exercise tolerance.

Features

Social science research focuses on the role of sport, health and wellbeing in contemporary society and their relevance to policy and practice.

Work spans a wide remit, from analysis of healthy lifestyles and community sport participation, to research into elite sport systems and performers.
