Ahead of the 2024 Olympics taking place in Paris this summer, join us for a panel discussion exploring elite sports.
Our experts, including double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes, will consider questions including: How does science contribute to making athletes faster and stronger and to continue to break records? How much does talent contribute to success or can training and commitment create an elite athlete?
Speakers also include mathematician Amandine Aftalion of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris, biomechanics expert Brian Hanley of Leeds Beckett University and psychologist Adam Nicholls of the University of Hull.
Come along and find out more about the biomechanics of sports such as running, the theory of optimal control within racing endurance, and how performance psychology has an impact both on and off the track.
