Fall 2020 Sports Science Project Grants Awarded to Dr. Dilson Rassier and Dr. Tyler Churchward-Venne
McGill’s Sports Science Institute (SSI) at the Faculty of Education awarded the Fall 2020 Sports Science Project Grants to Dr. Dilson Rassier for his project “From Gene to Sports Performance: The Genetic Basis of Muscle Mechanical Properties” and to Dr. Tyler Churchward-Venne for his project “The Three R's of Post-Exercise Recovery Nutrition: Do Exogenous Ketones REBUILD Muscle?”.
The Sports Science Project Grant’s overall objective is to advance elite human performance from the lab to the podium. Specifically, this initiative provides funding to develop and advance best practices and evidence-based approaches in testing, coaching, knowledge transfer and scientific innovations, in order to develop the next generation of world-class athletes. In addition, this initiative aims to advance a relevant research agenda to align research expertise with the needs of the elite sport communities.
