Rehabilitation Teaching Suite
We have two rehabilitation teaching suites based on our campus, each providing students with space for practical skills labs, group-based seminars and a student-led problem based learning.
Environmental Chamber
Our Environmental Chamber is one of very few in the country large enough to accommodate a whole sports team - not just one individual athlete.
The Chamber can control temperature from minus 20 to 50 degrees Celsius, relative humidity between 10 and 90%, and it can simulate altitude up to 8,000 ft.
Exercise Physiology Teaching Laboratory
Our teaching lab is where students learn the fundamental practical skills of exercise physiology.
It provides you with hands-on experience, using the latest equipment to evaluate a wide range of measures, from health to maximal aerobic capacity.
