Contents and Main topics

The topics that will be addressed shed light on current as well as future-oriented research questions, drawing on recent research findings and presenting hands-on realization possibilities.

Leading experts insights present new results from their field of expertise and research, with a special focus on the results that can be easily transferred into daily business.

A mixture between speakers with different complementary competencies makes for a quality which can hardly be found elsewhere. Even though the congress is located in Germany, all lectures will be held in English, the leading language in sports science and research.

The congress includes topics around current and trend-setting issues in sports science, fitness, nutrition, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, exercise science and were chosen methodically, i.e. topics connect to each other, sustain or build on each other and create convergence.
