A study conducted in the School of Kinesiology’s Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory (HSCL) was cited in a story on Wilson Sporting Goods’ introduction of high-performance tennis gear that appeared in Finanzen.net. The story, “Wilson Sporting Goods Debuts ‘Camo Edition’ Collection Of High Performance Tennis Gear Inspired By Global Street Style,“ announces a new tennis racket, Pro Staff 97L Countervail^®(CV) Camo, which uses CV material technology intended to maximize a player’s energy, reduce muscle fatigue and shorten recovery time. In 2016, HSCL tested rackets for Wilson Sporting Goods, comparing those with and without CV technology, and found results that supported improved performance with CV technology.

Juergen Konczak, Ph.D., professor of kinesiology and director of the HSCL, directed the study.
