About Us

University of Bolton, Lancashire, United Kingdom
We are lecturers and practicing professionals in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. Our undergraduate BSc/BA (Hons) Sports programmes are dynamic vocational degrees delivered with the physically active in mind, whether that is within the local community, the recreational or professional athlete. Our experience and expertise in professional sport and private industry allows the sports student to gain first hand and current knowledge in the field of sports medicine, exercise and training. We maintain strong links in industry, which provides our students opportunities for excellent work experience placements. Community events also allow students to voluntarily offer their skills to assist the competitor, which further strengthens the role and credibility that our sports students play within the health and exercise medicine spectrum. Our in-house Sports & Spinal Injuries Clinic and Athlete Development Centre also provide our means of actual practice and teaching where we welcome anyone wishing to have their injury managed, or fitness tested, advised and monitored to the highest standards using recent and researched methods to access our facility in Bolton One.

Teams4U Yorkshire Dales 3 Peaks Challenge



 
The Teams4U charity organisation held their annual Yorkshire Dales 3 Peaks Challenge last Saturday 19th May in a fundraiser for children across developing countries, in particular Africa, Eastern Europe and South East Asia.  Year 1 SRB students were on-hand representing the University of Bolton and Sports and Spinal Injuries Clinic to help the hikers get the stiffness and tension out of their aching legs and backs, so thanks & well done to Rachael, Leanna, Meg, Siobhan and Hattie; and a massive well done to all of the hikers who took part - the looks on their faces said it all after 8-12 hours of walking!
