At Exos’ Human Performance Lab, we’re passionate about two things: science and human performance.
We serve as the research partner to help you advance both.
Our team of PhDs, scientists and practitioners has published work in peer-reviewed journals, chapters in textbooks and articles in applied science publications.
We also partner with leading organizations to accelerate research and innovation across the field of human performance. Here’s just a sample of our recent work:
For this observation study, we broke out of the lab and onto the field to analyze the biomechanics of NFL-like athletes at full speed. We created a one-of-a-kind outdoor biomechanics laboratory with in-turf force plates to measure motions, speeds and body loads in game-like settings and intensities.
The result? Real-world data around footwear and turf interactions during relevant sport-specific movements on the field at elite game speed to drive innovations in footwear design and training programs, all in the name of improving athlete performance and safety.
29 elite athletes enrolled
62% of participants were current or former NFL athletes
2 weeks of data collection
The development of wearable technology that provides accurate data for all consumers is an ongoing challenge, with variability in demographic characteristics like skin tone and body size impacting the measurement of important metrics such as heart rate. We partnered with a wearable sensor company to execute a series of 2-3 week data collection sprints in a diverse group of participants.
The result? Development of algorithms to improve heart rate sensor accuracy during high intensity activity exercise.
500+ study participants
20-35% of participants self-assessed as 6-10 on the Monk Skin Tone scale
49% of participants categorized as overweight or obese
Wearable sensors are increasingly used by consumers in nonclinical settings to better understand and manage their health. We partnered with a wearable developer on a fully remote 10-day observation and intervention study to measure glycaemic responses to specific nutritional triggers using CGM and non-CGM based signals.
The result? The development of predictive algorithms for glycaemic responses in a diverse adult population.
93 enrolled participants
12 standardized meals over six days to measure variability in glycaemic responses
33% of participants were of African American or Asian descent
In a game where every second counts, peeling back the layers of intricate movement patterns invisible to the naked eye can be the key to unlocking more effective coaching at scale. We designed and executed a three-phased research initiative using markerless motion capture to pilot 3D Athlete Tracking technology to maximize performance, including technology validation, use-case validation, and real-world demonstration.
The result? The validated 3DAT technology debuted at the 2022 NFL Combine.
3 movement profiles: rotational sport, rehab, and sprint
3 phases of data collection
20+ elite male and female athletes
A collaboration with Exos’ Human Performance Lab expands research capacity, accelerates innovation, and moves human performance businesses forward.
We’re looking for partners of all ages and abilities to expand our understanding of health and performance.
EXOS RESEARCH FOR STUDY PARTICIPANTS. Innovation begins with you.
