Currently the CSS team is part of a large multi-centre project developing wired and wireless technologies (www.sesame.ucl.ac.uk) for improving athlete performance and within this have used their Codamotion system to study a range of sprinting activities including starting and maximum velocity running.
The growth in terms of Cardiff’s sports facilities has assisted in ranking UWIC consistently within the top three UK universities for sport.” Visit the CSS website
