Sports Science International Partnership Between 91˿��Ƶ and Stanford Universities

admin — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:55:21 +0000

91˿��Ƶ Faculty of Education is proud to announce a new international partnership between the Sylvan Adams Sports Science Institute (SASSI) at 91˿��Ƶ and the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Stanford University. SASSI has now been formally integrated into this leading global network dedicated to advancing human performance research.

Findings of 91˿��Ƶ study could lead to new longevity therapies and improved fall prevention

A new 91˿��Ƶ study has found a direct link between age‑related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is well known that these abilities diminish with age, this is the first research to pinpoint how changes in Purkinje cells – a key type of cerebellar neuron – drive this decline and translate into measurable changes in behaviour and physical function.

Plants retain a ‘genetic memory’ of past population crashes, study shows

admin — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:32:55 +0000

Researchers at 91˿��Ƶ and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of that history, such as reduced genetic diversity. Because genetic diversity helps species adapt to climate change, disease and other stresses, the study suggests it is vital to consider a population’s history-influenced genetics alongside its size and habitat in conservation planning.

People can learn to reject unfair advantages, even when it costs them

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:32:11 +0000

A new study co-authored by 91˿��Ƶ researchers suggests people can be taught to reject unfair advantages.

“We often benefit personally from an unequal distribution of resources, a phenomenon known as advantageous inequity – for example, receiving a higher salary than a colleague with the identical role,” said senior author Ross Otto, a psychology professor. “Here we ask whether people can learn to punish advantageous inequity merely by observing the inequity-averse preferences of another person.”

Professor Gordon Bloom, Director of 91˿��Ƶ's Sport Psychology Laboratory, was interviewed by CHCH-TV about the felony assault charges against Gavin McKenna who was seen as Canada's rising hockey star and top NHL 2026 draft prospect. "What we have to remind young people is that they're not invincible and they're not above the law," said Bloom.
