Join us at the ECSS SIG session on Data Science in Elite Sports.
Our aim is to highlight the role of data analytics in improving athletic performance and to foster collaboration across academia, industry and sports organisations. This year, we will discuss:
- Predictive analytics for talent identification.
- Machine learning for performance optimisation.
- The role of biometric data and wearable technology in training.
- Discuss experiences among colleagues.
- Ethical considerations in sports analytics.
This session is an opportunity for participants to engage with current trends in sports science and explore the impact of data science on elite sports.
The SIG Elite Sport is an optimal arena for:
- Networking and collaboration opportunities.
- Sharing of research findings and best practices in elite sports.
- Insights into training methodologies, sports psychology and performance analysis.
- Discussion on the latest advancements in sports science.
Date: Wednesday, 3 July
Time: 12:15-13:15 (during Lunch Break)

Ambulatory Assessment (AA) describes a class of methods for data assessment (and interventions) in near real-time and in the everyday life of humans to enable ecologically valid findings.
AA comprises Wearable Technologies (WT) such as physical activity monitoring (e.g., via Accelerometry), physiological function assessment (e.g., via Mobile Electro-Cardiogram), contextual sensing (e.g., via geolocation tracking), and self-reporting via e-diaries (e.g., Ecological Momentary Assessment [EMA]. For example, these data allow scientists to gain in-depth insights into within-person associations between physical behavior (on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep) and its biological, physiological, as well as psychological correlates.
Since WT and AA enables researchers to capture physical activity, sport and exercise “as it is” (real-time, real life, etc.) and within a very broad range of research applications, the SIG aims to provide a basis, for example, to combine expertise, to develop shared definitions and to further develop and validate WT and AA in the field of movement and exercise.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide an alternative platform for our international participants to exchange and network during our Annual Congress whilst exploring specialist subject areas and topics. The thematic orientation of SIGs refers to both the major sport science disciplines and also special target groups or specific sub-topics of current relevance. The groups meet during lunch breaks or poster sessions. Join these sessions to exchange your ideas and make new international connections!
We are delighted to confirm the following Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for ECSS Glasgow 2024:

coming soon!
The Special Interest Group in Environmental Physiology connects sport scientists and other sport stakeholders (e.g., athletes, coaches) who share an interest in exercising under various environmental conditions. We discuss all types of exercise, including team sports, Olympic sports and extreme events, as well as different exposures such as training, competing and recovery. Our focus areas encompass heat, cold, hypoxia, gravity, pollution and other environmental stressors.
Our annual meeting aims to foster greater interactivity compared to the regular in-programme symposia, providing a platform for exchanging ideas through debates, guest invitees and panel discussions.
