Steve Haake

Haake studied physics and the University of Leeds, and went on to do a PhD at Aston University in Birmingham where he was sponsored by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. His thesis investigated methods for measuring the impact of golf balls on turf.

Haake worked at the University of Sheffield, building a sports research group there, before moving to Sheffield Hallam in 2006. He founded the journal Sports Engineering, the International Sports Engineering Association and the International Conference on the Engineering of Sport. He served as director of research for the Sheffield section of the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine from 2014 to 2016, when he was succeeded by Elizabeth Goyder.{{cite web |title=Public health champion to lead exercise revolution |url=http://shg.sheffield.ac.uk/news-articles/public-health-champion-to-lead-exercise-revolution/ |website=UoS Healthcare Gateway |access-date=5 October 2020 |date=13 May 2016}}

Haake is chair of the research board of parkrun, and has said that "useful fitness exercise might just be a 10-minute walk every day". In 2019 he was appointed chair of Sheffield City Region's Active Travel Advisory Board. His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and has included research on football, cycling, tennis, and olympic sports.

In September 2020 he was interviewed by Jim Al-Khalili for The Life Scientific.

Haake was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to sport.{{London Gazette|issue=63135|supp=y|page=B12|date=10 October 2020}}
