Title: Lacrosse Drill classification for a collegiate Women’s Lacrosse Team
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Bunn , Exercise Science

This study aimed to provide insight into an athlete’s responses to various drills so as to classify the level of intensity of each drill. Within the context of this study a women’s collegiate lacrosse team was monitored using specialized GPS tracking devices and heart rate monitors during daily team practice and scrimmage matches. Drills were classified based on the team’s responses to each drill and the intensity for individualized positions examined. This information can help training staff customize practice sessions to improve athlete performance.
