Kitman Labs.
Article in Thursday Daily Telegraph tells how they offer an 'athlete optimisation system' which reduced injuries at the South African Super Rugby side by 30% as well as being used by the British Lions recently in NZ and other clients are Bath and Leicester RU sides as well as Everton and Norwich City.
Must be worth a look after our record over the past 2 years.

It isn't working for Everton, we have a dreadful record when it comes to injuries!

As a Norwich fan I can say we don't tend to get many injuries and certainly not many long term injuries

I always thought Wigan were leaders in adopting things like this and when the facility at Orrell was set up and there was talk of all sorts of monitoring of players going on I thought, great.
In fact if you look at the video of our new young Aussie signing in the gym he is obviously having oxygen and/or lung capacity levels monitored so all looks good.
What then goes wrong between the sports science being applied and the pitch? Something does because we have an injury prone squad and a squad that often looks unfit and knackered.
You can employ all the sports science you want but if you leave it in the gym it's going to be useless. By this I mean if you don't combine it with a proper diet and laying off the booze (to give two examples) you undermine the gym work.
Given the overweight look of some of our players and plenty of reports of boozed up players out and about in town I think Wigan would be wasting money buying this system.
