24 Year 9 students embarked on our inaugural HPAP & Sports Scholars trip to the Sport Science Centre at Greenwich University. Over the course of the morning students took part in four laboratory sessions.
The morning was superbly run by the University lecturers, with state-of-the-art facilities allowing the students to delve into the world of sports science. Over the course of 4 rotational lab sessions students were able to measure their muscle force, take readings of their gas analysis on the tread mill, register their percentage increase from standing jump to counter movement jump and se the effects of fatigue on muscles through ultrasound.
This is the first step into securing a long-lasting reciprocal partnership with Greenwich University and this exciting morning session whet the appetite of further studies into Sports Science.
