More Ways to Support Adaptive Athletes
Research, coach education, equipment and community groups all shape how well adaptive athletes can train. These are the organizations doing that work alongside us.

University of Kansas
Bloc Life connects community-based adaptive training with University of Kansas research. KU Life Span Institute researcher Lyndsie Koon works with AAIM athletes and coaches to study high-intensity functional training for people with disabilities.
The partnership brings research into working gyms, so participants keep training after a study ends. Researchers look at physical function, everyday independence, confidence and community, and athlete experiences help shape the work. KU Alumni’s November 2024 feature tells the full story.
