Latest Alliance research to be presented at ACSM 2023

May 25, 2023

Related To: Events

The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance will be sharing research that touches on many aspects of human performance—from low energy availability to wearable sensors to thermoregulatory responses—at the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) 2023 Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado from May 31 to June 2.

We look forward to the scientific discussions and invite you to meet with us at a reception on Thursday night to continue the conversations. A complete list of all Alliance presentations and posters, along with the reception details, is provided below.

We hope to connect with you in Denver!
