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.

Super League Injury Surveillance research club updates

Anna Fitzpatrick and Adam Naylor are doing the Rugby League Club rounds once again this week, visiting each club to provide some developing feedback from the Super League injury surveillance project, currently being analysed at the University of Bolton.  The catch up with the medical teams at each club will see their input and contributions to the project in up-to-the-minute feedback on injury occurrence and incidence.  Exciting times as there are only 3 months of the season remaining, and so the first ever complete Rugby League Injury Surveillance is nearly complete!  Thanks to all of the club physios, rehabbers and S&Cs for all their input so far.
