Research
Academic excellence is one of our core values and we conduct research across many areas of sport and exercise science. This research also underpins teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level and provides opportunities for staff to undertake consultancy.
This summer the ISES plays host to the ninth World Congress of Performance Analysis of Sport, the leading academic and applied knowledge transfer event for sport performance analysts and researchers worldwide. The four-day Congress features keynote sessions from leading academic researchers and applied practitioners from the UK, Portugal, South Africa and Australia, covering topics in Basketball, Wheelchair Basketball, Soccer, Athletics, Performance Analysis and the Media and Movement Patterns in Team Sports. The Congress will be the largest to date in its 21-year history and by far the most significant research conference ever hosted by the ISES, with over 200 abstracts accepted providing the delegates from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Cameroon, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Germany, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, UK, Ukraine and USA, with 90 podium presentations and over 110 poster presentations.
The Congress will provide a vibrant, innovative and world class scientific programme to stimulate all who attend. The Congress is already supported by a number of commercial partners, with a wide range of performance analysis relevant exhibitors and contributors making it an outstanding Congress to meet new people, learn from each other, exchange ideas and make plans for the future. If you are interested in attending the Congress or sponsoring it in some way, please visit the Congress website at www.worc.ac.uk/wcpas9/ for further details.
