We bring together multiple academic disciplines such as sports engineering, health, robotics, computing, sport science, psychology, design, and the arts; creating collaborations with industry, local communities, local authorities, charities and the health and technology sectors; and providing access to state-of-the-art, fully instrumented indoor and outdoor laboratories.
We are the research hub for the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) in Sheffield, translating knowledge from elite sport into the health sector to drive innovation in the promotion of physical activity as part of the London 2012 Olympic Legacy.
Our Mission
Our mission is to transform lives through innovations that help people move. This is at the heart of everything we do and reflects a belief that physical activity, in its many forms, has significant benefits for individuals, communities, the economy and wider society. Harnessing the power of human movement through our research, innovation and knowledge exchange is the space occupied by the AWRC. We exist to transform lives.
