About FASTR
Our Vision
We Believe…
We believe in creating an inclusive environment for all girls and women in sports. Your health in and out of sport is important, and this material is for you.
Our goal is that the FASTR platform can inform, inspire, and empower female athletes of all levels and backgrounds. We believe that universal access to research-led and science-driven knowledge is just as essential to health and longevity in sport as the gear you use and wear. We hope to arm female athletes with the information needed to inspire confidence in your unique physiology.
Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance
Our research is supported by the Stanford Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, a collaborative research initiative that seeks to improve the health and well-being of all people through the study of peak human performance. The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance is an interdisciplinary effort made up of six primary hubs leading cutting edge research to advance this field of study and translate it into practice in sports medicine and beyond. The six hubs include Stanford University, Boston Children’s Hospital, The University of Kansas, University of Oregon, the Salk Institute, and University of California San Diego.
