On this course, you will have access to our: Physiology lab facilities We have a number of ergometers, such as treadmills and cycle and rowing kayaks, for analysing sports-specific performance. Sophisticated equipment allows us to measure physiological responses to exercise, such as oxygen consumption. We also have two environmental chambers that can adjust heat/humidity levels and simulate altitude environments.

Biomechanics lab facilities We can analyse sports movements and skills, thanks to: force platforms fitted in the floor a six-camera motion analysis system an isokinetic dynamometer Electromyography Two smaller labs also provide space for specific activities, such as gait analysis, assessment of muscle function and data analysis. Sport & exercise science at Kingston University Learn how our students are turning their passion for sport and exercise into a career with our sport and exercise courses. For me, the practical sessions in both physiology and biomechanics have been among the highlights of the degree.

The course is very 'hands-on', which is good as it gives you the necessary skills to pursue a career in sport and exercise sciences. George, Sports Science BSc (Hons)
