Applied Sport Science in Performance Sport

This session provides insights into how sport science is integrated and applied in performance sport and across the respective sport federations from the perspective of an embedded scientist. Using a real-world project example, participants gain an understanding of how research is translated into practical applications within elite sport environments.

The session also emphasises the collaboration between researchers, practitioner,and sport organisations and highlights funding and functional mechanisms of National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and how sport science is supported within national sport systems.
