All of the research conducted at the School of Kinesiology is aimed at improving human health and performance, whether it is on the battle field, on the court, or in daily activities. Our faculty has garnered collaborations with other world-renowned scientists to engage in cutting-edge research in the fields of physiology, motor development, sport psychology, biomechanics, basic science, and more. The research as a whole comprises the Performance and Health Optimization Center, a place where we make a difference in peoples’ lives.
