In the pursuit of consistently delivering evidence-based health and fitness education, services, and solutions, the NASM-RI and its staff perform new research on a variety of exercise interventions designed to improve human movement, health, and performance.

The scientists of the NASM-RI perform research and systematic literature reviews that investigate the effectiveness of different interventions on measured muscle activation, functional performance, injury risk, injury prevention, weight loss, and movement patterns.
