ACSS 2025 is a two-day Conference that will offer participants the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and best practices in the world of Sport Science. Leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars will attend to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Sport Science. We encourage research papers and training approaches based on integrating different disciplines applied in Sport Science to enhance sport performance to be submitted to the conference.

Anette Skilbred’s dissertation project sheds light on the interaction between young athletes and their networks, with a particular focus on how athletes shape their meaning of performance-enhancing substances within these networks. There is a specific emphasis on nutritional supplements and anti-doping work. By applying an interactionist perspective, she has explored and illuminated processes of meaning-making.

We are particularly interested in submissions around past, present, and future considerations of drug use and enhancement in a sporting context that open new perspectives in research, for example on ethical issues, new competition formats, or challenges for athletes. Our two confirmed keynote speakers will address the conference theme from very different angles: Ines Geipel was a victim of the East German doping regime. Aron D’Souza is the President of the Enhanced Games, sports without drug testing.
