NAPL’s broad research agenda included investigating the impact of training techniques, therapeutic interventions, and nutrition on performance and recovery, assessing the biomechanical impact of performance on the athlete’s body, harnessing biomarkers in saliva and blood to guide training, developing technologies to reduce injury and improve performance, and identifying and reducing factors that lead to injuries and chronic conditions later in an athlete’s life.
While the research primarily addressed collegiate athletes, the novel technologies and interventions were expected to impact the lives of athletes across the ability and age spectrum.
