Celebrating Physiology at Loughborough

The School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University was awarded a plaque by the Physiological Society in June 2024 to recognise it as a centre of excellence for physiology in sport, exercise and health science.
The Physiological Society’s Excellence in Physiology Award honours institutions that are centres of excellence for physiology in either discovery or leadership. This award is presented by the Board of Trustees following recommendation from the Nominations Committee.
