Review of Evidence on the Physiological and Psychological Development of Children

In 2015 the UK Government gave Sport England a new remit to support children aged 5-14 years. SE commissioned Duncan, Eyre and colleagues to undertake a review (completed in March 2017) to inform the body’s response to this.


Coffee Ingestion: Interaction Between Sex and Cycling Performance

The aim of this study was to investigate whether sex differences exist with regard to 5 km cycling time trial performance and affective responses following the ingestion of 300 ml caffeinated coffee, a placebo (coffee flavoured solution) and a control (no fluid).


The Effectiveness of a Primary School Based Badminton Intervention on Children’s Fundamental Movement Skills

This project examined if a badminton based intervention is effective in enhancing fundamental movement skills, physical activity, motivation to undertake physical activity, fitness and health in children aged 7-9 years.


Commercialisation of a Micronutrient Delivery Platform for targeted iron absorption

The aim of this project is to commercialise our unique, newly developed, micronutrient delivery platform (MDP) for iron absorption, for safe, cost-effective and efficient iron delivery.


Does Physical Inactivity Influence Productivity in the Workplace and Labour Market Outcomes?

This work project aims to place value on the importance of physical activity in policy solutions in the medium - long term, as well as develop and validate short-term interventions in delivering health and economic outcomes to individuals and the Midlands economy.


InoCardia: Contractome-AI

Contractome-AI’s combination of novel assay and computational methods improves early detection of heart contractility issues, helping avoid expensive downstream problems.


Frequently Asked Questions

A new exhibition by artist Anthony Luvera, in collaboration with Gerald Mclaverty, which uncovers the shocking and poignant challenge faced by those living on the streets.


The Development of a framework and toolkit to support a physical activity for health pathway in England

The aim of the project is to develop a framework and valid tools that support the delivery of physical activity pathways across England. Physical activity pathways support people with/at risk of health conditions to become more active.


Identification of novel double-stranded RNA elements in developing antibiotic resistance in the agricultural environment

The goal of the project is to identify and subsequently characterise the dsRNA dimension of the animal gut microflora (both the differential presence of antisense bound to mRNA and phage dsRNAs containing novel genetic information in response to AB pressure). Identification of novel functional dsRNAs (asRNA bound to its target and phage dsRNAs involved in AR) will mark a paradigm shift in our understanding of the development of AR and future approaches to treating infections.


JiCSAV: Justice in Covid-19 for Sexual Abuse and Violence

Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on criminal justice journeys of adult and child survivors of sexual abuse, rape, and sexual assault


Develop in the Open (DITO)

Investigators seek to improve patient outcomes and reduce staff administration time when developing digital systems to enable their constant improvement and remove vendor lock-in.


Compressive Population Health: Cost-Effective Profiling of Prevalence for Multi Non-Communicable Diseases via health Data Science

This project proposes a novel paradigm, called compressive population health (CPH for short), to reduce the data collection cost during the profiling of prevalence to the maximum extent.


A big-data-centric hearing impairment rehabilitation solution

A big-data-centric hearing impairment rehabilitation solution using a novel and affordable hearing aid tailored for tonal language speakers, personalised hearing screening, and online therapeutic calibration and motivation service


Mental Health and Productivity Pilot

Coventry University is co-leading a group of health professionals, academics and business leaders who have been awarded £6.8m by Government to tackle poor mental health in the workplace with a focus on the East and West Midlands regions.


The ‘Taste & See’ cluster randomised controlled trial

Taste & See is a church based programme for developing a healthy relationship with food.


Does the Earth magnetic field spin up the polar vortex in the outer core?

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Professor Alban Potherat. Applications are invited for a PhD position in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics within the project "Does the Earth's magnetic field spin out the polar vortex in the outer core?", funded by the Leverhulme Trust, at the Research Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems (FCS) at Coventry University.


Pilot of a teacher training intervention to deliver student-centred motor learning pedagogical approaches

This project is a pilot of a teacher training intervention to deliver student-centred motor learning pedagogical approaches and improve primary school children’s motor competence and motivation in physical education


Addressing GPCR conformational flexibility

The large G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family is a highly interesting target for drug design because a large proportion of current drugs bind to its members, and because the family offers much potential to exploit new targets.


Investigating the function and substrate interaction network of ABHD16A, a novel regulator of protein S-acylation

This study aims to characterise the molecular mechanisms and functions of a novel APT, ABHD16A.


Comparison of RR intervals and heart rate variability between disposable and reusable electrocardiography leads

The aim of the project is to assess heart rate variability using novel disposable ECG leads in healthy subjects, and to assess the agreement between heart rate variability measures obtained using disposable and reusable electrocardiography leads.
