Let's talk Sport

The Sports Technology Research Group hosted their first ever event in the new #SportConnectSeries last Thursday.

The event, hosted by Head Coach of the Loughborough Students American Football team, Dr Paul Sherratt, was based on the Super Bowl 50 and included a tour of the state-of-the-art testing facilities.

Students from different departments delivered presentations, followed by a video presentation by Dr Dave Krzeminski, an expert on football helmet testing from the University of Southern Mississippi, USA.

The next #SportConnectSeries event is planned for June to coincide with the UEFA European Championships in France.
