PhD Studentship, Injury Patterns in Elite Sport & Development of Osteoarthritis, University of Nottingham, UK

Students are invited to apply for a full-time bursary available in the School of Clinical Sciences, for a 3 year PhD, open to both Home, EU and International students.

Arthritis Research UK (ARUK) have launched a five year research programme to further the understanding of the relationship between exercise, sport, injury and osteoarthritis (OA).  This world leading centre comprises 7 partners: Oxford; Leeds; Southampton; Loughborough; UCL; Bath, and the University of Nottingham.

OA is an increasing burden as our population is becoming older, more sedentary and increasingly obese. Exercise is essential for mitigating the impact of OA, and participation in sporting activities is a key target for improving the general health of the nation. However joint injury, an adverse consequence of exercise, contributes to the development of OA. A better understanding of the mechanisms linking sport, exercise, injury and OA is essential in order to develop strategies that will enable the whole community to safely and effectively exercise and participate in sport.

The injury/illness performance project (IIPP) is a longitudinal study in the area of injury and illness epidemiology (based at the University of Nottingham) in high performance sport; combining medical and exposure data collection, and forms one of the cohorts under investigation within the ARUK sport injury and OA centre.  The current PhD studentship aims to (1) examine the frequency and nature of injuries in elite athlete populations (2) compare and contrast injury history with retired elite athletes, and (3) explore the prevalence and nature of osteoarthritis in retired Olympic athlete populations.

European Masters in Sport and Exercise Psychology (EMSEP), Erasmus Mundus, Europe

The European Masters in Sport and Exercise Psychology programme (EMSEP) is organised by four leading European universities in the field of sport and exercise psychology (SEP): the University of Jyväskylä (JyU, co-ordinator), Finland; the University of Leipzig (UL), Germany; the University of Thessaly (UTH), Greece, and Lund University (LU), Sweden. The EMSEP programme offers education opportunities for students of all nationalities.

What is Sport and Exercise Psychology?
Sport and Exercise Psychology is the scientific study of people and their behaviour in sport and exercise contexts, and the practical application of that knowledge. The field, as well as the EMSEP programme, builds on the scientific bases of sport and exercise sciences, public health, and psychology. As the title implies, EMSEP has two main focuses: (1) promotion of healthy habits and overall lifestyle via regular engagement in various forms of physical activity; and (2) psychological support for athletes. The areas covered by EMSEP include, but are not limited to, motivation, performance, behaviour regulation, cognition, (post)career planning for athletes, identity, counselling and preventive interventions within sport and exercise contexts.

Career opportunities
The EMSEP programme prepares students for a research and/or professional career in Sport and Exercise Psychology through a combination of coursework, independent study, internship, and an extensive hands-on research experience. After successful completion of the programme, graduates will be awarded a double degree. EMSEP graduates can expect to find employment in the private and public sectors of exercise, well-being and sport; for example, as health and fitness leaders, instructors, performance enhancement specialists, psychological health consultants, or academic researchers in the field.
