About
The Sport and Exercise Research and Innovation Group specialises in performance, injury, and sports therapy, and clinical neuroscience and vascular health. It is also home to the Football Association of Wales (FAW) Centre for Football Research.
Themes
We work across two research themes: Performance, Injury, and Sports Therapy; and Clinical Neuroscience and Vascular Health. Each is led by an individual recognised globally for their expertise and research excellence.
In Performance, Injury, and Sports Therapy, led by Dr Morgan Williams, researchers take a practical approach to improving elite athlete / coach / support staff performance, and physical and mental well-being, as well as promoting physical activity among adolescent performers.
In Clinical Neuroscience and Vascular Health, led by Professor Damian Bailey, researchers focus on the vascular benefits of exercise throughout life.
Supplementing these themes is the FAW Centre for Football Research, led by Professor Brendan Cropley, a partnership between the University and the FAW, which is affiliated with the Welsh Institute of Performance Sciences (WIPS). The Centre’s mission is to engage in high quality research and innovation, generate research funding, and develop research collaboration that supports the development and performance of athletes across Wales and internationally.
Impact
We are committed to research that delivers positive impact for people and organisations across a range of performance-related sectors.
Our research is having an impact in: professional education, training, and development; human health, growth and performance; policy and strategy development; the design and development of innovative technology / equipment; and organisational operations.
100% of our research outputs and impact was classified as world-leading or internationally excellent in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework.
