Sport Studies students were able to gain a unique insight into the Sport Science Faculty at LJMU, and were able to use state-of-the-art laboratory facilities to aid their studies.

LJMU’ sport  research is internationally recognised.   The faculty is the only Sport and Exercise Sciences Department in the U.K. designated as a Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Many local professional teams use the facilities to aid training and rehabilitation.

Mosslands students were able to undertake:-

  • Anaerobic Wingate test – 30 second maximal cycling test  which measures peak power, average power and power decline.
  • Strength tests – Looking at hand grip, chest and back strength.
  • VO2max tests – A maximum capacity test of an individual's ability to utilise oxygen during an incremental exercise test performed on a treadmill and cycle ergometer .
