Dr Harry Roberts

Together with colleagues from the School of Biosciences and Medicine I teach on the BSc Sport and Exercise Science programme.

I currently lead two modules on the Sports and Exercise Science programme.

Anatomy and Kinesiology - This module provides students with a fundamental understanding of human anatomy by considering the form and function of the skeleton, muscle, bone & articulations, and examining their interaction during human movement, exercise and sport.

Performance Training and Assessment - This module builds on knowledge of exercise physiology (BMS2063) and an understanding of training methods (BMS1044) by exploring in greater depth how the body adapts to chronic exercise (i.e. from a cellular / molecular to whole body level), the mechanisms responsible and the impact on sports performance. This module evaluates current practice with respect to training and assessments of athletes.  Students will have the opportunity to conduct physiological assessments following BASES sport testing guidelines.

In addition to these modules, I teach on a variety of modules across the programme including, Principles of exercise, fitness and health, Exercise physiology and biochemistry, and Exercise referral and prescription.  

Finally, I also coordinate the CIMSPA vocational qualifications that are embedded within the Sport and Exercise Science programme.
