Bridging the gap between Performance Science and Performance Medicine
The Problem Statement
Despite rapid advances in both performance science and performance medicine, these disciplines continue to operate in silos. Performance data often lack clinical context, while medical decisions are frequently made without full integration of training load, biomechanics, or performance demands. This disconnect leads to fragmented decision-making, inefficient rehabilitation, elevated reinjury risk, and missed opportunities to optimize athlete availability and long-term performance.
In high-performance sport, the margin for error is small. Without a shared framework that integrates medical insight with performance science, organizations struggle to translate research into actionable practice, align stakeholders, and make confident return-to-play and performance decisions.
perfmed.org exists to bridge this gap—connecting evidence-based performance science with clinically grounded performance medicine to support smarter, integrated, and athlete-centered decision-making.
