The following centres have agreed to partner England Athletics in the provision of physiological testing of athletes.  All the Centres are BASES (British Assocaition of Sport and Exercise Sciences) registered and all have agreed to adopt the UKA/England standardised protocols for testing, drawn up by Professor Andrew Jones of Exeter University.  Professor Jones is also providing quality assurance of the various partnership centres.

In addition England Athletics have agreed to provide mentoring support for coaches by providing a contact point through the Endurance Area Coach Mentoring Programme.

Coaches interested in making access to a Centre for a test of an athlete are requested to contact the Centre of choice directly.  Individual costs of tests, protocols and bookings should be made directly.  At the same, time if coaches want to make access to mentored support for discussion of results, they are requested to make contact with the listed Area Coach Mentor for that centre who will link them with a mentor coach.

Any general comments or feedback on the partnerships and programme should be directed to Martin Rush, National Coach Mentor for Endurance at mrush@englandathletics.org, 07803 671969.
