Overview
Our Musculoskeletal Sport Science and Health MSc programme aims to provide you with further knowledge of the scientific concepts and procedures underpinning sport and exercise related musculoskeletal function, measurement, injury and treatment.
Our Musculoskeletal Sport Science and Health MSc allows you to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to the scientific study of sport and exercise related musculoskeletal health and performance including anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, bioengineering, and kinesiology.
You will also have the opportunity to carry out in-depth and critical research in selected areas of interest.
The Musculoskeletal Sport Science and Health programme is delivered in connection with the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine – East Midlands (NCSEM-EM), an Olympic legacy funded project aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of the nation. Combining the state-of-the-art facilitates of the NCSEM-EM with the unparalleled sport environment at Loughborough provide a unique postgraduate learning experience for the scientific study of sport and exercise related musculoskeletal health and performance.
The NCSEM-EM has five key themes that cover research, education and clinical activity: physical activity in disease prevention; exercise in chronic disease, sports injuries and musculoskeletal health, mental health and wellbeing, performance health.
The NCSEM-EM hub is based in a state-of-the-art building, purpose designed to facilitate the transfer of high quality research into frontline patient care. The building features a range of cutting-edge technology and specialist medical equipment:
Functional analysis rehabilitation lab - a state-of-the-art space containing the latest cutting-edge technology for research. Motion capture cameras of the highest resolution and precision will be available, along with hi-speed video cameras, force plates of different sizes and an electromyography system with display screens for feedback. atest...

What I would highlight: I was hesitant in moving to a town as I was living in a well planned city but my student years have been the best of my life years here. I got involved in the voluteering sectionof the student union, the very first week, and tried every section of it. There are alot of opportunities for everyone. With modern facilities and clean campus, the university also has career services to build skill set and CV for the students to get placements whilst studying in the campus. Its a great experience and I don't regret to be a part of the Loughborough University .

Course programme

What you'll study

The modules on our Musculoskeletal Sport Science and Health MSc programme are designed to provide you with further knowledge of the scientific concepts and procedures underpinning sport and exercise related musculoskeletal function, measurement, injury and treatment.

Modules

Musculoskeletal Sport Science and Health covers a wide range of topics; to give you a taster we have expanded on some of the core modules affiliated with this programme and the specific assessment methods associated with each module.

  • Semester 1
  • Semester 2
  • Optional

Orthopaedic Sport Biomechanics

Orthopaedic Sport Biomechanics

Aim: to develop knowledge and understanding of orthopaedic sport biomechanics ranging from the epidemiology and anatomy, to the common injuries, their diagnostic methods, treatment, rehabilitation, and evaluation and implementation of clinical outcomes and prevention.

Neuromuscular Function

Neuromuscular Function

Aim: to develop understanding of neuromuscular function from the micro to applied whole human body level, and gain practical skills in investigating neuromuscular function at the whole body level.

Physiology of Endurance Performance

Physiology of Endurance Performance

Aim: to understand the physiology of the body systems that underpin the capacity for exercise, the basis of intervention/training strategies to enhance endurance performance, the basis of fatigue and determinants of performance in events requiring endurance and repetitive high intensity work, and the physiological characteristics of elite athletes in particular sports.

Basic Science and Regenerative Therapy

Basic Science and Regenerative Therapy

Aim: to develop an understanding of regenerative medicine in sports medicine that utilises biology as the basis for modern intervention methods of cell therapy, tissue therapy and physical therapy, whilst also developing an understanding of how to design studies, as well as of the models and biomarkers used in them.

Emerging Technologies for Health and Wellbeing

Emerging Technologies for Health and Wellbeing

Aim: to develop an understanding of recent emerging technologies that can aid with improving health from clinical devices to active lifestyle aids, how they are developed, how they can be used and how to utilise them in research and practice.

Quantitative Research

Quantitative Research

Research Project: Natural Sciences in Sport and Exercise.

Motion Analysis of Human Movement

Motion Analysis of Human Movement

Aim: to understand the workings and limitations of biomechanical equipment used for data collection to understand the relationship between ground reaction forces and motion during dynamic activities in sport.

Developing Computer Models for Sports Biomechanics

Developing Computer Models for Sports Biomechanics

Aim: to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to construct, evaluate, and optimise computer models of human movement.

Sports/Musculoskeletal Injury

Sports/Musculoskeletal Injury

Aim: to enhance the understanding of the aetiology, biomechanical principles and problems associated with sports injuries, review the demands and injury risks associated with specific sports, explore clinical presentation, examination and treatment options, and to provide you with theoretical and practical training and knowledge in the immediate management of an injured athlete.
