Taipei City Government

The 2018 Taipei Sports Science Forum came to a successfully conclusion at the Taipei Stadium’s Audio Visual Room on June 30. The event was organized by the Department of Sports (DSP).
 
The forum invited a number of domestic and international experts in the field of sports science to share with the audience their expertise in combining knowledge in science and sports. The audience includes athletes, trainers, coaches, and people interested in the field of sports science.
 
The 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei rekindled a new wave of enthusiasm for sports activities. By holding the sports science forum, DSP seeks to encourage the merging of sports science into training facilities and conversations among the fields of sports medicine, trainers, and sports science.
 
DSP Commissioner Li Tzai-li remarked that employing scientific methods to enhance the performance of athletes isn’t something new. However, there are times when the interests of training and academic development differ and cannot fully integrate. He is pleased that the city government took on the leadership role in organizing the sports science forum to implement scientific methods into training facilities, helping local athletes to achieve better results.
 
With 150 seats for the public, all the seats were quickly booked in a week after registration opened. This demonstrated a need for similar activities, and DSP will continue to organize future activities to encourage further development in the local sports scene.
