Athletic Performance Unit: Improve Your Posture with this Exercise

UC San Diego is always on the cutting edge of innovation, and our Athletic Performance Unit (APU) is a superb example. The APU plays a major role in keeping Triton scholar-athletes healthy and sharp, both physically and mentally. Consisting of several different factions including Sports Medicine (Athletic Training), Athletic Performance, Triton Mind/Mental Performance, and Triton Nutrition, when working in unison the APU ensures that the Tritons are prepared to be at the top of their competitive game.

In this summer series, we'll introduce you to our Athletic Performance Unit with amazing recipes, workout ideas, tips to keep you in the right state of mind, and much more.

SPORTS MEDICINE: IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE

The mission of UC San Diego's Sports Medicine program is to provide the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. It is our goal to provide high-quality health care in an educationally progressive atmosphere.

The UC San Diego Intercollegiate Athletic Training Department is comprised of three full-time ATCs, four post-graduate intern ATCs and roughly 15 athletic training students (ATS). The ATS consists of students from San Diego State (SDSU) and UC San Diego. The UC San Diego Athletic Training Room is a clinical site for San Diego State''s Accredited Athletic Training Education Program, as well as home to the UC San Diego athletic training internship program.
