Sport Science Labs
Our high-tech laboratories is the perfect place to improve your knowledge of sport and exercise performance.
Sport and Exercise Physiology Laboratory
Students delivering lab assessment in the Sport & Exercise Physiology Laboratory
As a Sport Science student at NTU, you'll have access to wide range of cutting-edge tools and technologies to help you analyse and improve human movement in athletes, both at professional and recreational levels.
Our Sport and Exercise Physiology Lab is located in the Erasmus Darwin Building at the Clifton Campus.
Biomechanics lab
Watch our introduction to the Biomechanics Lab in the Centre for Effective Learning and Science.
The Biomechanics Lab is located in the Centre for Effective Learning and Science (CELS) and is another state-of-art facility dedicated to studying human movement and performance. It's sophisticated equipment and technologies play a vital role in teaching understanding and enhancing human movement and optimising performance in various fields, including sports, rehabilitation and ergonomics.
The lab includes:
- Seven-camera motion analysis system, it provides highly accurate and detailed measurements of human motion. These cameras capture movements from various angle, allowing for comprehensive analysis of biomechanical parameters such as joint angles, velocities and forces.
- Force plates that are integrated to the floor, allow for precise measurement of ground reaction forces during activities like walking, running and jumping.
- Purpose-built dynamometers that provide controlled resistance for studying strength and muscle function.
- Isokinetic dynamometers to allow to asses muscle strength and endurance at different speeds and resistance levels.
