Ssec2017, also known as The 3rd Annual Sports Science and Exercise Congress, was held in Singapore from 20-21 October 2017. This international conference focused on the latest research and practice in sports science, exercise physiology, and human performance.
The congress attracted leading researchers, academics, coaches, athletes, and industry professionals from all over the world. They came to share their knowledge and expertise on a wide variety of topics related to sports and exercise science, such as biomechanics, nutrition, psychology, technology, training methods, and injury prevention.
One of the highlights of Ssec2017 was the keynote presentation by Dr. Greg Wells, a renowned sports scientist and author. He spoke about how physical fitness can enhance cognitive function, creativity, and decision-making abilities in both athletes and non-athletes. He also emphasized the importance of sleep, stress management, and recovery strategies for optimal performance and longevity.
Other notable speakers included Dr. Emma Ross, Head of Physiology at the English Institute of Sport, who discussed the use of altitude training for endurance athletes and its potential benefits for health and performance. Professor Alan Nevill, an expert in physical activity epidemiology, presented his research on the impact of sedentary behavior on health outcomes and how to encourage more physical activity in daily life.
In addition to plenary sessions, Ssec2017 offered a diverse range of workshops, symposia, and poster presentations. These interactive sessions provided opportunities for attendees to engage in discussions, debates, and hands-on activities related to various aspects of sports science and exercise.
Overall, Ssec2017 was a valuable platform for advancing knowledge and best practices in sports and exercise science. It showcased the latest research findings and practical applications that can contribute to the development of athletes, the improvement of performance outcomes, and the promotion of physical activity and health.
