The CN-HPAAS team works to provide technical leadership and peer support related to high performance physical assessments. Efforts are focused on:
•Applied physical assessments in the laboratory and daily training environment.
•Scientific measurement equipment and analysis.
The CN-HPAAS group welcomes subject matter experts with practical, applied experience to help push initiatives forward. Sport Scientist Canada members from a variety of backgrounds (academic, National Sport Organizations, COPSIN etc.) are encouraged to reach out.
Some of these initiatives include:
•Standard operating procedures in data collection and analysis
•Protocol repository
•Equipment quality assurance
•Sharing of assessment, performance and physical recovery best practices
