At the Sylvan Adams Sports Science Institute (SASSI) we are dedicated to advancing high-performance sport through cutting-edge academic research. Our institute is a world-leading facility that, through its relationships with local and national sport organizations, aims to transfer sport science research findings directly to the athletes, coaches, and support staff for whom it matters most. Situated in the heart of McGill University, SASSI has a unique network of academic research experts in a variety of disciplines. We are also committed to developing the next generation of sport researchers through our annual student fellowship competition, speaking opportunities, and mentorship from our full time SASSI members.
SASSI brings together a multidisciplinary community of researchers united by the mission to advance human performance through world-class sports science research. The Institute harnesses the expertise of our collaborators as well as the vast multidisciplinary network across McGill University.
SASSI explores the limits of human performance by studying athletes, providing insights into training, recovery, rehabilitation, and overall human function. By integrating knowledge from multiple fields, the institute aims to position itself as a global leader in advancing human performance through science.
Through a combination of financial support, world-class facilities, interdisciplinary research, and industry partnerships, SASSI provides an environment where students can thrive and make meaningful contributions to the field.
