Health and Human Performance Center
Research That Moves People Forward
The Health and Human Performance Center advances research in human movement, musculoskeletal health, rehabilitation, anatomy, wellness and functional performance.
The center’s interdisciplinary scope creates opportunities to improve health and function across the lifespan, from supporting healthy aging to reducing injury risk and enhancing performance among athletes and physically active populations.
Through basic and translational science, researchers also can deepen understanding of human movement, physiology, neuroscience, recovery and adaptation.
Collaborate With Us
Great research doesn’t happen in isolation. The HHPC connects people and expertise across disciplines and organizations to advance research that can improve health and human performance.
“The Health and Human Performance Center assembles expertise from multiple disciplines, and I see tremendous value in fostering connections that make research more collaborative, efficient and impactful.
Over time, these discoveries may help shape clinical practice, rehabilitation strategies, preventive health initiatives and future research, ultimately supporting healthier, more functional and resilient communities.”
