COVENTRY students have been spending time with the Birmingham City women’s team to help them with midseason strength testing.
The 24-player squad visited the university’s Alison Gingell building, to use the university’s state-of-the-art equipment.
They used the sports science facilities to evaluate muscles for any weaknesses or imbalances.
Students from the Sport and Exercise Therapy and Sports and Exercise Science courses helped lead the session.
Andy Frampton, Assistant Professor and Associate Course Director for Sports and Exercise Therapy, said: “Students were allowed to support this testing, allowing them to get hands-on experience with real-life athletes in an applied setting.
“Under supervision we let them take control of what’s going on, so they get to experience what it’s really like to work in the industry.”
