UCL Press Release: UCL helps athletes in medal quest

7 November 2007

Elite athletes are being given the chance to fulfil their potential in international competition thanks to new technology being developed at UCL with a grant from the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council.

The £100,000 project will create a portable, cutting edge device which can be used during training to measure oxygen use in muscles, enabling coaches to optimise training schedules and hone race strategies.
