Cutting edge research on athlete analysis is taking place at Bowerman Sports Science Clinic. Major additions have been added since last Fall and were presented to the public Oct. 24 with tours and live demonstrations.

Research conducted here is a cross between human physiology and biomechanics. A visit here could detect potential injuries and prevent them by pinpointing what exercise is needed. Services in biomechanical running analysis, exercise physiology and body composition are also available to recreational and professional athletes.

“We hope to integrate academia with athletics in the community and connect the dots between research and the everyday athletes needs,” said Director of the Bowerman building, Michael Hahn, during the Oct. 24 open house for the BSSC. Hahn graduated with his Ph.D. from University of Oregon in 2003.

BSSC operates under 12 employees. Some are volunteers, others are completing thesis work and graduate programs. Deepak Joshi and Li Jin are currently running research on prosthetics precision – one of the many projects taking place.
