" This partnership with SixS Sports allows us to bridge medical science and performance sports like never before. Our shared vision is to produce not only healthier athletes, but smarter ones, built on evidence, resilience, and care.” - Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
SixS Sports is proud to announce a pioneering partnership with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), one of India’s foremost institutions for medical and allied health education. This collaboration marks a significant step in advancing the role of healthcare, neuroscience, and rehabilitation in sports performance and athlete well-being.
Through this partnership, SixS and RGUHS are establishing a unique academic and applied platform that combines sports science, clinical research, and education. The alliance enables SixS to work closely with RGUHS’s network of medical colleges, physiotherapy departments, and research units to build a deeper understanding of the Indian athlete’s body and mind, particularly in the areas of injury prevention, biomechanics, neurocognition, and sports recovery.
The partnership focuses on co-developing training protocols, academic modules, and research-led interventions tailored to athletes at various stages of development, from school-level to elite performers. RGUHS students and scholars will now have opportunities to engage with SixS’s Brain Training Lab framework, strength & conditioning modules, and athlete assessment systems, while SixS athletes benefit from cutting-edge support in rehabilitation, performance monitoring, and return-to-play strategies.
A key objective of the partnership is to formalize India’s first applied health science pathway for sports, where physiotherapy, sports medicine, nutrition, and psychology students are trained not just as clinicians, but as on-field performance enablers. These professionals will be embedded across SixS partner institutions, high-performance centres, and schools, ensuring every athlete receives evidence-backed, real-time care.
The collaboration also includes plans for multi-site research studies focused on cognitive fatigue, injury trends among youth athletes, and the long-term health impacts of early sport specialization. Joint certifications, workshops, and CME programs are also underway, with both institutions committed to raising the bar in sport-specific healthcare delivery.
Together, RGUHS and SixS Sports are creating a future where healthcare is no longer reactive, but proactive, predictive, and personalized for every athlete. This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration in India, where a university of health sciences partners with a high-performance sports organization to build a truly interdisciplinary approach to sporting excellence.
This partnership is a declaration: that sports and science must move forward together, and that India’s next generation of athletes deserves a support system grounded in care, data, and medical intelligence.
