A sports scientist supports athletes and coaches in understanding and enhancing sports performance. The performance strategies or training are backed up by data and science to ensure effectiveness and safety - leaving nothing to chance.

Sport scientists are recognised by their holistic perspective on sports performance. This level of professionalism is acquired through tertiary-level qualifications that cover anthropometry, biomechanics, motor control and learning, physiology and training methodology and complemented with specialisation in one or more of these areas.
