About The Better Living and Performance Testing Clinic Team

Our Better Living and Performance Testing Clinic is conducted in facilities which are accredited by the Chartered Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (CASES).

We're led by Professor Dan Gordon, a CASES Accredited Exercise Physiologist who has over 25 years’ experience. With a background in cardiorespiratory physiology, Professor Gordon has worked across high performance sports through to supporting clinical populations.

As part of an innovative real-world learning and employability approach, we also operate a supervised experience programme for our Sport and Exercise Science students who may assist with the testing.
