NY Sports Science Lab Develops Brain Training Regimen For Lacrosse Players

40-yard dash. Vertical leap. Bench press. These tools certainly measure certain aspects of an athlete’s physical fitness, but a much less obvious performance solution could lie in neuroscience and cognitive training.

That’s the approach the NY Sports Science Lab is taking. The lab, which uses advanced sports technology to help train athletes across almost every sport, employs a staff of sports scientists and specialists in a number of areas — exercise science, sports physiotherapy, performance enhancement, biomechanics, and strength and conditioning. Its proprietary technology has been adopted by professional sports teams.

The lab’s mission is simple: “We look to objectively identify what makes the athlete up in terms of their strengths, weaknesses and propensity for injury based on the athlete’s individual sport and position within that sport,” said Michael Greene, the lab’s head sports performance specialist.
