Inspired by motion

To live is to move, and to do so freely and to the best of one’s ability. AMS researchers aim to apply fundamental knowledge of human movement to enhance physical performance and well-being, addressing both illness and health. More than 600 scientists affiliated with AMS translate societal issues into research questions and translate research results into practical solutions, with the goal of getting people to move better, move longer and move again.
