SPRINT Research Centre
SPRINT works towards advancing knowledge in the areas of performance, recovery, and injury in the sporting domain.
The Sports Performance, Recovery, Injury and New Technologies (SPRINT) Research Centre is a group of internationally recognized sports scientists working towards advancing knowledge in the areas of human performance, recovery and injury. We deliver impactful and timely research using cutting edge research techniques at three sites across Australia.
SPRINT research focuses on the interactions between human performance, fatigue, sleep and recovery interventions, and the prevention, risk identification and rehabilitation of injury with a strong emphasis on findings that directly translate into practice.
We employ a holistic approach to all aspects of human performance. Our researchers work closely with several globally recognized organisations including the National Football League (US), FIFA (Global), PepsiCo (US), Australian Institute of Sport (AU), Queensland Academy of Sport (AU) and Tasmanian Institute of Sport (AU).
