Sports and Exercise Science is the study of people, how they move, how they think, and how they react under pressure. At Lancaster Medical School, we study how bodies react to exercise, from couch to 5k, to monitoring elite athletic performance. We examine how exercise is beneficial before surgical procedures, how the menstrual cycle impacts injury susceptibility, and how exercise benefits mental health. We study all this and much, much more.
Our students show you Sports and Exercise Science's focus on people - in sports and beyond, how they are supported and nurtured by our academic team, and how studying at Lancaster has given them the confidence to take their studies wherever they want.
