PhD in Sport

Men’s health is a major public health concern in the UK, with mental and physical health challenges disproportionately affecting men. This self-funded PhD project aims to address these gaps by evaluating MAN v FAT Football - a UK-wide, gender-sensitised weight loss and lifestyle programme for men with a BMI over 27.5. The research will be conducted in collaboration with MAN v FAT, offering the student the opportunity to engage directly with a national community organisation and conduct applied, policy-relevant research with real-world impact.
