King's Athletes Brush Shoulders With Some Of UK's Top Elite Performers

On Tuesday 17^th October the U6^th Form & L6^th Form A Level PE groups attended Bath University to see the facilities and opportunities on offer for elite performers, writes Pip Atkinson-Kennedy, Director of Sport.

The trip took place at Team Bath and the English Institute of Sport. Three of the A Level pupils took part in two of the lab tests. Will carried out an impressive VO2 Max Test on the treadmill. Sophie and Bertie experienced a Wingate Test which tests anaerobic capacity and power. Brushing shoulders with some of the country's top elite performers has hopefully inspired our King's senior sports stars but I think the highlight of the morning was seeing one of the stars from 'Love Island' training in the indoor sprints track! All in all a great trip full of value.
