UO Sport and Wellness

Leveraging sport research to live not just longer, but better

The Objectives

  • Inform and improve overall wellness, performance, injury prevention, physical health and mental well-being in those that participate in sport and undertake physical activity
  • Embrace and promote inclusivity for all, at all levels, including gender, race, disability, and sexuality
  • Promote sport as a driver for political and societal change around the globe
  • Promote changes which seek to minimize environmental impact and enhance sustainability

UO is part of the Global Sport University Network

The GSUN is a collective of universities from around the world that harnesses knowledge on sport to solve timely, complex problems. GSUN aggregates research, faculty insights and student energy to address topics that no one university could fully address on its own. The network aims to be the connective convenor between industry, governing bodies, sport commissions, media and other key stakeholders and the academics who are researching the relevant areas. While the network will facilitate connections and collaborations all year, the focal point will be an annual summit, bringing together academics and stakeholders around a key topic.
