World-leading sports science experts will come together with medical professionals from international and professional sports teams this summer to share cutting edge research on how to keep sportspeople safe and fit. 

The International Conference on Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport , taking place at the University of Bath, will explore the latest evidence, innovations and best practice in athlete health and welfare. It will feature keynote talks, technical sessions and interactive workshops designed to bridge the gap between research and realworld application. 

Highlight issues will include historically under-researched female health issues in sport, as well as athlete mental health and head injuries. 

The latest research on bio-banding – grouping young athletes by their biological maturity rather than their age, pioneered by the University of Bath – will also be shared. 

Organised by the UK Collaborating Centre on Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport (UKCCIIS), an International Olympic Committee Research Centre of Excellence, the two-day event follows on from the hugely successful inaugural conference in Edinburgh in 2024. 

Podium Analytics, an NGO and charity committed to reducing injury in sport, is conference’s Headline Supporter.
