Research
The U-M Human Performance & Sport Science Center (HPSSC) spearheads basic and translational research to promote improvements in health, well-being, and human performance. Unique discoveries are propelled by multidisciplinary and integrative collaborations in technology, biomechanics, physiology, artificial intelligence, and data and behavioral sciences. Through HPSSC coordination and leadership, U-M researchers, Athletics, Health System & MedSport, and industry and external partners can effectively interface to prioritize and conduct multidisciplinary sport- and exercise-related research leading to platforms, prototypes, data analytics tools, and performance assessments and monitoring technologies—all of which are developed and communicated to campus, athletes, coaches, trainers, and the general public.
Human performance, exercise, and sport science, all inspire and drive integrated new approaches that can reveal how sport and exercise data and evidence-based discoveries may be harnessed and translated to benefit individuals of all abilities across their lifespan.
