The Sports Medicine Research Laboratory in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science opened its doors in July 1996, and joined efforts with the Department of Orthopaedics and the Curriculum in Human Movement Science (Department of Allied Health Sciences) for collaborative research in January 1999. The 1700 sq.ft. facility, located on the ground floor of Fetzer Gymnasium, is used by faculty, graduate students, residents, fellows, and undergraduate students in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science, Department of Orthopaedics, and Division of Physical Therapy.

The mission of the laboratory is to advance the field of Sports Medicine and Athletic Training through scientific inquiry that helps to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. Much of the research focuses on problems linked to the musculoskeletal, neurologic, and neuromuscular systems.
