Sports Science Lab Visit


Higher PE pupils recently embarked on an enlightening visit to the Sports Science Labs at the University of Glasgow.

The visit aimed to provide pupils with hands-on experience and insights into various physical fitness tests. The day involved an exploration of cutting-edge assessments such as V02 max testing, countermovement jumps, grip strength measurements, mid-thigh max pull strength assessments, and psychometric testing.

Distinguished sports science lecturers, Viki Penpraze and Nairn Scobie, guided pupils with their knowledge and played a pivotal role in facilitating the learning process, offering valuable explanations and demonstrations of the various tests conducted in the sports science labs.

Pupils were not only exposed to state-of-the-art equipment, but the visit also provided them with a deeper understanding of the scientific principles behind physical fitness testing.

Strength & Conditioning Coach, Callum Harris, commented:

“Overall, the visit to the University of Glasgow’s Sports Science Labs was a memorable and educational experience for our Higher PE pupils, fostering a greater appreciation for the intersection of theory and practice in the field of sports science.”
