Musculoskeletal Physiology
Musculoskeletal Physiology Research Group
The Musculoskeletal Physiology Research Group produces high quality, impactful research relating to the effects of exercise and diet on the musculature and skeleton.
Aim and focus:
- Translate the work that begins at the laboratory into the applied setting (e.g. the elite athlete, general population and patient) for improved training and performance or treatment and management of disease.
- Research to range from clinical, health-related work to elite sports performance - covering topics including exercise physiology, sports nutrition, cellular and molecular biology, genetics and health.
- To reach national and international audiences and impact a diverse range of populations, such as the female athlete, the elderly, recreational/elite sports people, clinical groups and the general public.
- Engage directly with athletes, patients, practitioners and key support groups, not only as participants in our research but, just as importantly, in the design of our research programmes and studies.
By these actions, we aim to maximise the dissemination of our research and its key messages into the areas where they are most important. We believe that this pipeline of activity is crucial to generating novel research questions of relevance and impact.
Who we are
We are a multidisciplinary research group, whose publication history reflects the quality, reach and impact of our work which can be found in top journals within the field.
