The GSK Human Performance Lab and Derbyshire County Cricket Club announce exciting new research partnership for 2015 season.
The GSK HPL will use its scientific expertise and cutting edge technology to help Derbyshire coaching staff investigate the stress of fast bowling in the different formats of the game, in conjunction with the University of Derby.
The Club will look at biological markers, psychomotor and physiological parameters to look at how each player copes with the stressful nature of fast bowling in elite cricket.
To aid in its delivery, University of Derby Masters Research student Nick Parker has joined the Club’s off-the-field team to lead the partnership. Derbyshire CCC Strength & Conditioning Coach, Dr Jamie Tallent said: “It’s a great opportunity for us to be associated with a world-leader in science such as the GSK HPL, in partnership with University of Derby.
“It will give us a greater understanding of the workload of players and allow us to ensure players are in the optimum state to perform.”
Mark Langley, General Manager of the GSK Human Performance Lab, added: “This is an exciting new partnership with Derbyshire County Cricket Club and Derby University.
“Our aim is to give them a greater understanding of what can drive and improve the cognitive and physiological performance of their players."
“All our partners benefit from the in-depth knowledge and understanding our scientists have in human performance, combined with the cutting edge technology and equipment we can deploy from the HPL."
