Primary Mission:
The Patriot Performance Lab (PPL) focuses on sports performance and athlete health as its primary
mission. We assess and provide information in regard to, musculoskeletal strength and power, body composition, and overall physical conditioning to colleagues of the Center for Sports Performance. This information is used for program design and implementation in the areas of nutrition, training, and athletic health care, which can lead to reduction in the number of injuries and improved sport performance.
Goals:
To provide relevant and innovative services that contribute to the evidence-based emphasis of the Center for Sports Performance.
To advance knowledge of athlete health, sport performance, and sport science through promotion of collaborative research among colleagues of the Center for Spo
rts Performance and George Mason University faculty.
Vision:
To advance the treatment, care, and performance of the George Mason University athlete through an interdisciplinary, team-based approach which involves athletic training, sports nutrition, strength and conditioning, and sports science.
