State-of-the-art facilities praised by BASES January 2008
Roehampton University’s state-of-the-art exercise physiology laboratory has been praised for its professional staff and cutting-edge equipment, following re-accreditation from the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES).
The BASES report acknowledged the friendly, professional service provided by staff, and commented that “the laboratory is of an extremely high standard and the Laboratory Director and support staff should be commended on a well kept and well maintained facility. The staff were competent and conducted themselves with a high degree of professionalism and are a credit to the University”.
Located on the Whitelands College campus of Roehampton University, the Centre caters for a wide range of individuals. SPARC staff specialise in optimising sports performance in all standards of performer – from club to elite level – but are equally adept at developing programmes for those who simply want to start exercising or would like to lose weight.
