[2] Wuhan Sports University's origins can be traced back to Zhongnan Institute of Physical Education, in Nanchang City, Jiangxi province.

The names of these units are listed as follow: Since 2006, WIPE launched its 3+1 cooperative education project with University of the West of England.

Critics said local swimming pools lacked proper sanitation of water, and inadequately checked Health Certificate of visitors as was required by law.

[12] One of the employees here contended that “财力有限，若配备专业医生，费用难承担；并且，根据业内“潜规则”：游泳是不需要《健康证》的。”[13] Roughly Translated as: With limited wherewithal, a doctor can't be afforded; moreover, according to intra-industry hidden rules, there is no need of Health Certificate beforehand to swim.

[7] In October 2009, Prof. Walter Brehm, the dean of the Sport Institute of University of Bayreuth of Germany, was provided a visiting professor tenure.
