We study the science of human performance — from elite athletes to everyday movers — to deliver evidence-based insights that unlock better health, strength, and endurance.
Our mission is to advance the understanding of human physiology and performance through rigorous scientific research, cutting-edge assessment tools, and collaborative partnerships with athletes, coaches, and medical professionals.
A multidisciplinary group of exercise scientists, physiologists, data analysts, and clinicians.
Our active and completed research initiatives spanning exercise science, wearables, nutrition, and clinical performance.
Developing a machine learning model to estimate maximal oxygen uptake from consumer-grade wrist sensors during submaximal exercise protocols.
Measuring how thermal load impacts decision-making speed and accuracy among workers in high-temperature environments in Jalisco.
A randomized crossover trial examining the effect of post-exercise protein distribution on muscle protein synthesis rates in athletes over 40.
Longitudinal study tracking biomechanical gait parameters across 12-week ACL reconstruction rehabilitation programs.
Examined erythropoietic responses in endurance runners exposed to normobaric hypoxia over 6-week training blocks.
Schedule a comprehensive assessment or request a specific test protocol. Our lab is equipped with metabolic carts, force plates, DEXA, and 3D motion capture.
Graded treadmill or cycle test to determine VO₂ max and ventilatory thresholds.
DEXA-based assessment of lean mass, fat mass, and bone mineral density by region.
Force plate jumps, isometric holds, and isokinetic dynamometry for peak force.
3D motion capture and ground reaction forces during walking and running tasks.
Indirect calorimetry to measure your true caloric needs at rest.
Reaction time, executive function, and dual-task performance battery.
Science distilled — insights, findings, and evidence-based commentary from our researchers.
A deep look at mitochondrial biogenesis, fat oxidation, and the physiological case for spending most of your training at conversational pace.
Emerging evidence suggests creatine supplementation may improve working memory and reduce mental fatigue under sleep deprivation.
Shorter ground contact time correlates strongly with elite running economy — here's what you can do about yours.
A review of 34 studies confirms sleep extension improves sprint performance, reaction time, and mood in competitive athletes.
Lactate threshold, efficiency, and economy together paint a far richer picture of an athlete's capacity than peak oxygen uptake alone.
We breakdown 5 acclimatization strategies — from passive heat exposure to training in heat — and compare their practical tradeoffs.
Cardiovascular fitness declines faster than strength during breaks. Here's the timeline and how to minimize losses during time off.
