Sport and Movement Science Lab
Sport and Movement Science Lab
The Sport & Movement Science Laboratory is a new, approximately 2000 sq. ft. research and teaching space within the Department of Kinesiology at Louisiana Tech University. SMSL provides University faculty and students with the premier facility in North Louisiana for sports performance and clinical movement analyses. Furthermore, the space also provides opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations in fields such as Strength & Conditioning, Sports Performance, Motor Skill Acquisition, Ergonomics, and Gait Analysis. Likewise, the space will provide extensive opportunities for Community and Coaching outreach through anticipated programs such as Walking/ Running Analyses, Sports Technique Analyses, Coaching Clinics, and Tactical (Police & Fire) Fitness Assessments. Sport & Movement Science Laboratory contains dedicated office space for lab personnel and graduate assistants, six (6) full-time computer work stations for graduate and undergraduate, 67' foot runway for overground walking/ running analyses.
