SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As a leader in global health and wellness, USANA, the Cellular Nutrition Company, is committed to the advancement of innovative, high-quality health supplements for elite athletes worldwide. To further its commitment to research and development, USANA is now the title partner of U.S. Ski & Snowboard's state-of-the-art training and education facility, the Center of Excellence.
The USANA Center of Excellence (COE) will continue to blend the best of high-performance athletic facilities, including strength training areas, a gymnasium, ski and snowboarding ramps, trampolines, a nutrition center, recovery/rehabilitation facilities, and a full sports science lab for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes. USANA will work closely with U.S. Ski & Snowboard's sport science staff and the organization's top skiers and snowboarders on new product research and areas for development.
"I am very excited about this new and expanded relationship between USANA and U.S. Ski & Snowboard," says Robert Sinnott, M.N.S., Ph.D., USANA's chief scientific officer. "Through this extension, we have agreed to conduct two to three clinical studies annually to measure the effects of USANA's supplements in elite athletes. The goal is to improve on their athletic performance metrics, help boost their immune systems while traveling, and assist them to achieve better quality sleep—all necessary for optimal performance and recovery. Not only will this partnership assist and benefit Olympic athletes, it's also a great investment in USANA's future and product pipeline."
