Research in the field of Sport and Exercise Science at Swansea is conducted by three related research groups. These groups will give you a good idea of the sort of research that is being undertaken at Swansea, and may in turn help you to develop a research proposal in the area of economics and\/or the social sciences.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Elite and Professional Sport: Our research has impacted policy, practice and improved performance throughout the elite pathway at the very highest level. We work with a range of elite and professional sporting organisations on a diverse range of research-informed interventions focusing on pre-conditioning and recovery, parenting, biomechanics, nutrition, choking under pressure, genetics, and numerous other topics which all play an important role in achieving high levels of performance.<\/li>\n
  2. Exercise Medicine and Health: The Exercise, Medicine and Health\u202f(EMH)\u202fresearch group\u202fstrives to address the major health challenges\u202fof the\u202f21st\u202fcentury, improving\u202fpeople\u2019s\u202flives through exercise science.\u202fOur\u202fgroup is\u202frenowned for\u202fits\u202fwork in\u202fexercise physiology\u202fand\u202fphysical activity\u202fand health,\u202facross the\u202flifespan\u202fand health\u202fconditions.\u202fOur\u202fwork\u202ffocusses\u202fmainly on\u202fpre-natal,\u202fpaediatric, older adult\u202fand clinical populations, including Type I\u202fand\u202fType II\u202fdiabetes,\u202fkidney\u202fdisease,\u202fcystic\u202ffibrosis and\u202fasthma.\u202fWorking in close collaboration with\u202fresearch students,\u202fpartners, health boards and charities, our research has\u202fdirectly influenced national and international public health policies and clinical practices.\u202fWe are\u202fat the forefront of implementing novel technological approaches to health promotion\u202fand clinical care,\u202fincluding\u202fadvanced\u202fdata analysis\u202fand data\u202fscience methods.\u202fIn summary,\u202four work seeks\u202fto transform health\u202fbehaviour and outcomes\u202facross the age, geographic and socio-economic range to create a healthier population.<\/li>\n
  3. The\u202fSport Ethics, Integrity and Governance\u202fresearch group\u2019s growth was predicated on the successful award of 3M euros from the European Commission in 2016 to launch the world\u2019s first MA in the field of sports ethics and integrity. We conduct high level scholarship and research into conceptual and ethical problems in sports practices and institutions. Our work spans philosophical explorations of the nature of sport and ethical problems therein, to applied multi-disciplinary work on policies and practices such as anti doping, athletes\u2019 rights, match fixing, gender eligibility rules, technology polices, and problems at the intersection of sport, engineering and medicine. \u202fExamples of ethics, integrity and governance advice, research and consultancy in collaboration with and for key sport organisations include British Gymnastics, the European Athletes Association, the International Olympic Committee, the International Ice Hockey Federation, Sport Wales, UK Anti Doping, UK Sport the World Anti Doping Agency; and World Athletics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
