Human Performance Labs
The United States Sports University’s Human Performance Laboratory is home to state-of-the-art equipment including a hydrostatic weighing pool, air displacement plethysmography equipment, muscular strength testing and more. USSU has one of the most comprehensive human performance laboratories in the region, and students who use it learn various exercise and sport testing methods from qualified professors and specialists.
SkillCourt
USSU is one of only two universities in the United States that owns and operates a SkillCourt system.
SkillCourt is an advanced interactive training platform designed to enhance physical performance, cognitive function, and reaction time through scientifically backed, gamified exercises. Unlike basic LED-based systems, SkillCourt utilizes LIDAR technology and a high-speed camera governed by AI to deliver precise movement tracking and analysis. The games are developed in collaboration with leading medical institutions in Germany and around the world, based on rigorous scientific research in rehabilitation and human performance. This system provides real-time, data-driven insights into agility, decision-making, speed, and spatial awareness—making it a powerful tool for sports training, recovery, and functional assessment.
The Human Performance Lab has been used over the years to test Olympic level athletes from around the world and can be used by the public. Call the University at (251) 626-3303 to inquire about setting up an appointment to have your body tested in the Human Performance Lab.
