The Human Performance Science research group is led by Dr Howie Carson, Lecturer in Motor Learning and Control.

We are an interdisciplinary team made up of sport, exercise and dance scientists with specialists in disciplines such as physiology, psychology, biomechanics, motor control, coaching and education. Furthermore, our research contexts range from performance sport to the arts and professional practice.
