Loughborough Partnership
TLH believe physical activities fuel your mental abilities.
So to deepen our knowledge and broaden our offering, we've joined forces with Loughborough University to co-fund a PhD Study into the effects of recreational physical challenge on workplace performance.
TLH knows the quality and credibility of the University’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. For the eighth year running, Loughborough has been voted the best university in the world for sports-related subjects by the global QS higher education league table.

In January 2020, our quest to better understand the impact of physical challenge on people’s mindset and performance led me to Professor David Fletcher at Loughborough University. David is a Professor of Human Performance and Health based in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. We were excited to learn that the science of psychology had begun to investigate how and why physical challenges can have such a profound effect on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It was also encouraging to learn that researchers have published studies in international peer-reviewed journals that support the idea that outdoor recreational physical challenges can positively impact people’s mentality, belief, and confidence.
As we spoke further, it became clear that this evidence is spread across geographical locations, decades of time, and research publications. Properly getting to grips with this body of work was going to be no small task! We sought the advice of David’s colleagues, Drs Claire Stevinson and Nicola Paine, and we agreed a more methodical and longer-term plan of action was needed.
