Scientific Principles and Practical Applications

This invite-only workshop, brought to you by Keiser, will explore the scientific principles and practical applications that are being utilised, investigated, and implemented within the fundamentals of human performance.

We’ll be discussing some of latest thinking that practitioners and experts across elite sport are exploring to deeper their understanding of the mechanics, principles, and innovative technologies that can elevate human performance. We’ll also explore the essential training principles that form the basis for athlete training strategies, as well as discuss specifics around resistance training methods and the five trainable qualities that impact on performance improvement.

—

We’re hosting a 90-minute lunchtime session that brings together professional team leaders and tech suppliers to explore two key trends: the need for smarter decision-making frameworks in tech procurement, and the importance of resourcefulness in high-performance environments. The session will focus on aligning impact-driven innovation with practical constraints and fostering collaboration across the sport-tech ecosystem.

This dynamic session blends panel discussion, Q&A, and roundtable collaboration, focusing on two critical themes shaping elite sport:

  • Smarter Tech Procurement: How teams are evolving their decision-making frameworks to ensure technology delivers measurable impact.
  • Resourcefulness Over Resource: Why the most successful teams prioritise adaptability, clarity, and value over scale and spend.
