Science in Sport (SiS) Reveals a Three-Year Strategic Partnership With Manchester Metropolitan University

Leading global endurance nutrition brand Science in Sport (SiS) has announced a three year partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University

Major global endurance brand Science in Sport (SiS) has announced a three-year strategic partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University.

The partnership will bring together state-of-the-art facilities and best-in-class research techniques with a global brand at the heart of elite sport to develop new knowledge that will ultimately provide novel performance solutions to athletes.

Science in Sport is the official sports nutrition partner to more than 320 elite athletes and professional sports teams including The INEOS Grenadiers, Tottenham Hotspur and The Milwaukee Bucks.

Manchester Metropolitan University’s existing partnerships include Manchester City Football Club, Manchester City Women’s Football Club, City in the Community, Manchester United Foundation and the Manchester Giants basketball team. The university’s academics feed cutting-edge knowledge into sport via their research as well as their direct work with Olympic and Paralympic medal-winning athletes 

SiS’s partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University underscores its ongoing commitment to place world-class science at the centre of its global business, working with leading practitioners and scientists to develop evidence-based solutions and to demonstrate the efficacy of all the products it brings to market.

The partnership’s research programme involves embedding a PhD student, who will work alongside and be supervised by the university’s Dr Mark Hearris, lecturer in exercise metabolism and nutrition, and Dr Fiona Simpson, a specialist physicist in magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Manchester Metropolitan University, set in a city with sport in its DNA, is a perfect match for SiS to continue its investment in supporting scientific research into sports nutrition and performance, hydration and recovery.
