Sports Medicine and Exercise

It is vital that people are sufficiently active in order to promote good health. However the majority of the UK population are not; only 40% of men and 28% of women meet the Chief Medical Officer’s guidelines of thirty minutes of moderate physical activity at least five times a week. This has significant social, economic and medical implications.

At Nottingham, we focus on understanding the association between physical activity, obesity and disease, such as obesity and osteoarthritis. We also undertake significant research in high performance sport, to improve performance and minimise recovery time from injury.
