Additionally, WWE NIL athletes will benefit from the Exos Athlete Experience Program, which has plenty of partners in sports science and data. This program tests the participants on a number of factors, including performance, body composition, and physical therapy testing. Using this data, the program then produces custom plans for each athlete that are designed to optimize training.
Exos is thrilled to team up with the WWE in an effort to meet its next generation of athletes on their journey in order to ensure success—physically and mentally—and continuity of care,
