It has already spent the best part of two decades continuously changing and adapting to meet the needs of the elite performance landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter one returns to the early months of the pandemic and focuses on those characteristics that enabled the practitioners of the EIS to identify and explore the opportunities that emerged across sports science, medicine and technology.<\/p>\n<p>By mid-2020, British sports and athletes were able to begin returning to EIS training environments but much depended on their personal circumstances as well as their sense of comfort and security. The EIS was ready to help sports and athletes reintegrate thanks to its Mental Health and Performance Lifestyle Teams coming together to provide psycho-social support, as detailed in chapter two.<\/p>\n<p>Some sports, such as boccia, had considerable support needs for its athletes. The efforts of the EIS and Boccia UK to support its World Class Programme in their physical preparations for the Paralympic Games in Tokyo form the basis of chapter three. We also shine a light on the EIS\u2019 AER [availability, effort and recovery] monitoring app and nutrition services.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the AER app, its popularity with British sports and athletes is universal and represents a prime example of the EIS taking science out of the lab and placing it in the hands of coaches and athletes. In chapter four, we take a look at the EIS\u2019 efforts to provide and embed its data and analytics services within the sports whom it serves. We place a particular focus on the SmartCourt Analysis system used by Boccia UK.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Staying Agile details the EIS\u2019 ability to respond to and adapt to the pandemic while demonstrating that the organisation\u2019s fundamental character stands it in good stead to meet the future challenges of high performance.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you find some useful insights for your next project.<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe and well.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><button>Download Report<\/button><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":8127,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[23,21,20],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-8133","report","type-report","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-innovation","category-human-performance","category-leadership-culture-performance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
