The Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Science areas of expertise are organised into research groups and exchanges which focus on the following: biomechanics, cardiovascular health, exercise metabolism, brain and behaviour, physical activity, sport psychology and football-related research.
We deliver real-world solutions to the football community. Our areas of interest within football include: fitness and nutrition, psychology, match analysis, physical activity, skill acquistion and coaching, and performance analysis.
Our research aims to improve cardiovascular health via exercise training and physical activity. Our two main areas of expertise are cardiac function and structure and vascular function and structure in health and disease.
The Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.
iSandBox is an online events series where academic staff of LJMU's MSc Sport and Clinical Biomechanics programme present topics of interest, followed by discussion involving online participants, audience in the lab and speakers.
Explore our pioneering use of omic techniques to study muscle adaptation, revealing new insights into muscle growth, injury prevention, and recovery in athletes.
Discover how Dynamic Proteome Profiling reveals changes in protein quality in human muscle as we age, providing insights into improving lifelong health and muscle ageing.
Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health has expertise in human exercise physiology, experimental models of muscle adaptation and state-of-the-art mass spectrometry for proteomic and metabolomic studies.
It is a core goal of the Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health group to help translate science from the molecular level to practical ways to benefit the health of our local community and the greater population.
