About ICSST
The International Congress on Sports Science and Technology (ICSST) brings together sports and health science instructors, coaches, and researchers from around the world to deepen discussions on how to effectively utilize technological innovations in on-site practice.In recent years, the use of data through the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a shift in sports and health science from laboratory research to practical field measurements. By bringing together instructors, coaches, and researchers, this Congress is expected to foster discussions that promote practical application.
Dates & Program
The Congress will be held on Friday, April 24th and Saturday, April 25th, 2026.
The program will focus on research presentations, practical workshops including training methods and new technologies (devices) for data collection and analysis, as well as one or two keynote speeches and a moderated panel discussion.In the afternoon of Day 2, a guided tour of Okinawa is planned to deepen interactions among participants.
Open-Access Journal
There is a special reason behind organizing this conference: we are planning to launch a free open-access journal titled “International Journal of Sports Science & Technology.”
This journal focuses on how to accurately collect data in the field, how to analyze that data and provide feedback, and how to summarize the results.
Amid rising global publication costs, our goal is to make valuable, practice-based research widely accessible through this open journal in English.
Supported by JATI
This congress is being held with the support of the Japan Association of Training Instructors (JATI) to commemorate its 20th anniversary.
To mark its 10th anniversary, the International Congress on Strength Training (ICST 2016) was held in Kyoto, attracting participants from around the world.
