OSU MEDICINE SELECTED AS USA BMX OFFICIAL SPORTS MEDICINE PARTNER
U
SA BMX Foundation announced in September that OSU Medicine would be the organization’s official sports medicine partner for USA BMX racing events at Hardesty National BMX Stadium, BMX Foundation youth programs and the USA Cycling National Team. This partnership is set to provide essential medical care and support to a wide spectrum of the BMX community, spanning from beginner riders to elite-level athletes. By partnering with OSU Medicine, the USA BMX Foundation is taking a significant step toward enhancing the health of its athletes, improve athlete recovery times and advance research in new methods of optimizing elite athlete performance. OSU Medicine will provide sports medicine services to USA BMX athletes at all stages of skill and competition — including next year’s Olympic Games in Paris. “This partnership is an amazing opportunity for OSU’s sports medicine programs to impact athletes at a national and international level,” said Dr. Johnny Stephens, president of OSU Center for Health Sciences. “Providing dedicated sports medicine staff for the USA BMX team ensures that these athletes will benefit from a continuity of care that will enhance and improve recovery and health outcomes.” USA BMX and OSU Medicine will also work with OSU’s Human Performance and Nutrition Research Institute.
