Loughborough's well-established sports biomechanics master's enables students to specialise in the physics of sport - the area of science concerned with the analysis of human movement. Through the measurement and simulation of movement, it facilitates a greater understanding of human performance in sporting and recreational activities. This understanding can then be used to improve performance and reduce injury risk.
The programme contains cutting-edge content, ranging from experimental techniques and equipment requirements and use, through to the latest theoretical considerations and research problems. Students will benefit from access to a large designated teaching laboratory, which can be partitioned into two fully equipped laboratories, allowing independent activities to be performed simultaneously.
Throughout the programme students will use key pieces of biomechanics equipment, including Vicon motion analysis systems, force plates, wireless electromyography (EMG), and isokinetic dynamometers, together with the programming language MATLAB for data processing and analysis, and software for computer simulation and inertia modelling. The programme culminates in an original research project wherein students will use the laboratory and equipment independently to collect and analyse data to answer a research question.

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was first published in June 2003 by the Center for World-Class Universities (CWCU), Graduate School of Education (formerly the Institute of Higher Education) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and updated on an annual basis
The "Webometrics Ranking of World Universities" is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. CSIC is among the first basic research organizations in Europe. The CSIC consisted in 2006 of 126 centers and institutes distributed throughout Spain.
