- collaborations with other universities in the U.S. and abroad;
- collaborations with corporate partners;
- collaborations with secondary school systems across Kansas; and
- creating educational opportunities via conferences, or visiting professors or students.
Research Team
Recent collaborations between KU Athletics and the Human Performance Laboratories in the Department of Health, Sport, and Exercise Sciences have resulted in the creation of the Research and Coaching Performance Team. This team of coaches, sport scientists and students has been developed to optimize and coordinate collaborative efforts for the study of sports performance. Through these efforts, coaches and athletes can benefit as information is made available concerning training methods and modalities.
