In the field of sports, research and the use of advanced technology are promoted with a view to obtaining and generating a database that promotes growth and sports inclusion throughout the province. The access is open to all medium and high performance athletes and the evaluations data is a reference point of easy access, thanks to the connectivity that allows projecting the set-up with a view to the competitions of the athletes from San Luis.
The ULP Open Campus, located within La Punta University, has its own biomechanics department, whose purpose is the constant and continuous evaluation of athletes. It has equipment of national and international level that allows the execution of high quality protocols. In the past, only the athletes chosen to integrate the different national teams had the possibility of accessing these evaluations at the High Performance Sports Center (CeNARD, Buenos Aires); now all San Luis athletes can be evaluated and their performance enhanced, without having to travel hundreds of kilometers or pay high costs for the execution of tests of similar characteristics.
