New York Liberty owner Clara Wu Tsai is addressing the data and training disparity for female athletes by funding the Human Performance Alliance, aiming to enhance scientific understanding and prevent injuries. With women’s sports participation soaring, only 6% of sports science studies focus on females; the Alliance seeks to change this through initiatives like the Women’s Health Sports and Performance Institute. Researchers are developing tools to assess injury risks and examining how travel affects performance. Wu Tsai envisions collaboration between academia and sports leagues to maximize impact.
