Next-Generation Sport Science: Innovation, Performance and Health

7–9 April

Auditorium 2
16 Dzirciema iela, Rīga

What will sport science look like tomorrow?

The 20th Conference of the Baltic Society of Sport Sciences “Next-Generation Sport Science: Innovation, Performance and Health” invites the international sport science community to explore the future of human performance, health and movement.

We bring together sport science, health sciences, neuroscience, AI, technologies, data science and personalised pedagogical and psychological approaches to address one central question: How can the next generation of sport science create measurable impact on human performance, health and wellbeing?

From brain-body interactions and precision performance monitoring to healthy ageing, physical activity, sleep, injury prevention, digital innovation, learning promotion through sport, sport management and policy the conference will connect fundamental research with real-world application.

Share your research. Challenge conventional approaches. Build interdisciplinary collaborations. Translate evidence into innovation.

Join us in shaping the next generation of sport science!
