We have teamed up with Leeds Beckett University Carnegie School of Sport.

Leeds Beckett University’s Carnegie School of Sport has teamed together with knexusport to open up access to the University’s specialist sport expertise and facilities to a global market.

The new partnership allows elite and amateur athletes and individuals looking to improve their lifestyle to explore and book the Carnegie School of Sport’s world-class facilities and services using the knexusport platform and network.  

John O’Hara, Professor of Sport and Exercise Physiology at Leeds Beckett University, said: “We have a long history of supporting athletes across a range of events and competitions, including the Olympic Games and Premier League and EFL championship endeavours. We work with sporting organisations including British Athletics, Leeds United Football Club and Leeds Rugby. Our strength as researchers and educators combined with our expertise as applied scientists allows us to provide outstanding services, with real-world impact.”

Facilities and services – which can now be booked using the knexusport platform at www.knexusport.co.uk – include:

·       Athlete pre-participation (cardiac) screening

·       Physiological profiling (running and cycling)

·       DXA Scanning (bone density)

·       Body composition (DXA and Skinfolds)

·       Biomechanical analysis of running

·       Isokinetic strength assessments

·       Nutrition - including dietary analysis, diet MOT or group workshops

·       Anti-gravity treadmill

·       Heat and Altitude Acclimation  

Luke Minshall, CEO and Founder of knexusport, said: “To form this partnership helps us in our ambition of becoming the largest provider of services to elite and amateur athletes. The expertise and world class facilities at the Carnegie School of Sport holds opportunities to help individuals improve their performance or improve their lifestyle.   

“This technology and the team behind it opens up metrics and knowledge that has previously only been held in elite sports. It gives the opportunity for the average cyclist, the regular runner or the casual triathlete to improve their ability, improve their performance and hopefully we will be helping them claim their next personal record.”

Professor O’Hara added: “The partnership with knexusport affords us the opportunity to provide wider access to our evidence-based sport science services, supporting the specific needs of athletes at all stages using our World Class performance facilities. Our experienced and knowledgeable practitioners are here to help people develop their knowledge and ability, to help them achieve their goals.”
