Innovation
From the impact of movement on our individual health to how physical activity and sport benefit our communities, research at the School of Kinesiology addresses issues that affect us all throughout our lives. We’re fostering sustainable and healthy communities, finding new solutions for illness and injury prevention and treatment, and accelerating business growth and urban redevelopment through sport. And we’re working with our colleagues in business, medicine, athletics, public health, architecture and urban planning, and information to share our knowledge and strengthen our playbook.
“
We’ve made tremendous progress around identifying and managing concussion. This VR module gives the students a chance to practice in an environment that’s safe for them to make mistakes while building confidence for when they do it on the field.”
