ABOUT SCS
NETWORK FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
The SCS is a non-profit, international association devoted to fostering scientific research in the field of strength and conditioning. Through its sport sciences and clinical multi-disciplinary team of professionals, SCS aims to examine strength training and conditioning from a multifaceted perspective, including all physiological, biomechanical, psychological and epidemiological aspects. Thus, it strives to improve knowledge in the area of strength and conditioning and its broad application to sports performance, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and health improvement. It contributes to the dissemination of this knowledge to the scientific community and encourages initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness of findings in terms of strength and conditioning research and practice.
PLATFORM FOR S&C EDUCATION
The SCS promotes education in the field of strength and conditioning. Towards this aim, it organises education and certification courses, seminars and scientific congresses in order to foster excellence in the strength and conditioning community and provide internationally recognised certificates of respective education. It contributes to the publication of dedicated periodicals and scientific journals, to disseminate state-of-the-art research findings to its members and the wider scientific community.
SPACE FOR PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION
The SCS collaborates with, supports the work of, and promotes existing national strength and conditioning associations and organisations. The Society works in cooperation with various public and private health institutions, and sport clubs of different countries. It further favours contacts across its members to establish joint educational standards and promote collaborative research efforts in the field of strength and conditioning.
ABOUT EEVFA
PURPOSE
The Hellenic Society of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise was founded in 2010 aiming to provide a forum for the exchange of scientific information, evidence and experiences of Greek biochemists and exercise physiologists from all over Greece and abroad. The purpose of this non-profit scientific Society is to generate and disseminate scientific knowledge in the fields of biochemistry and physiology of exercise.
MEANS & ACTIVITIES
Means of realizing the above purpose are:
– Organization of national and international conferences.
– Social intervention by issuing position statements on key issues for exercise and health, preventive applications of exercise, exercise physiology, anti-doping, etc.
– Training of young scientists in research techniques through the organization of applied tutorials and distance learning.
– Contribution to the organization and operation of postgraduate programs in biochemistry and exercise physiology.
– Creation of a website and database related to the scientific fields of biochemistry and physiology of exercise.
– Setting up a scientific journal intended to further research on biochemistry and physiology of exercise.
– Claiming and executing national or international scientific programs.
– Cooperation with similar Greek, foreign and international scientific societies, as well as with non-profit organizations in the public and private sectors, whose aims are aligned with those of the Society.
The Hellenic Society of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise works in cooperation with various public and private health institutions and sport clubs. The Society encourages collaborations between its members to establish joint scientific standards and promote research programs in the fields of biochemistry and physiology of exercise.

HELLENIC OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
The history of the Hellenic Olympic Committee (HOC) is strongly connected to the history of the revival of the Olympic Games. The HOC was founded in Athens, November 24th 1894, with first President Crown Prince Constantine. Its first session was held on the same day with the subject of the organizing of the first Modern Olympic Games, which were finally held in 1896 in Athens from March 25th till April 3rd, in the newly restored Panathenian Stadium. The restoration was achieved thanks to the donation of 920.000 gold drachmas (huge amount at the time) of the magnanimous Georgios Averoff. It should be noted that since its foundation and until the year 2000, the name of the HOC in Greek, had been Committee for the Organizing of the Olympic Games as the purpose of its foundation was the organizing of the first International Olympic Games.

SCS Emerging Strength and Conditioning Coach
Criteria for the assessment of the Emerging Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year:
First
- Justifying report (1 to 50 points):
The most important thing is that the candidate demonstrates the activity he/she carries out. He/she must show us what he/she does. In addition, this would be very important to be able to demonstrate at the conference why we have chosen this candidate. For this, the candidate should be able to send us a document, presentation, or dossier (5 pages max) containing a justification, pictures, or videos in which this athlete performs those tasks that deserve recognition. The items of this report would be:
- Position held (1 to 10 points).
- Brief description of the sport and/or modality. Justification of the physical qualities required for performance. Scientific basis (1 to 10 points).
- Methods of work/development of these qualities (1 to 20 points):
Activities, materials, tools, volume, periodization, level of originality…).
- Methods of performance evaluation and/or load control (1 to 10 points).
Second
- Achievements (10 to 30 points):
The candidate must provide evidence of the positions/achievements achieved by his/her athletes in national or international competitions. In other words, the candidate must demonstrate that apart from training methods that deserve recognition, these produce relevant results (National level: From 1 to 10 points; Continental level: From 11 to 20 points; World level or Olympic Games: From 21 to 30 points).
Third
- Relevance of the modality (From 1 to 20 points):
This section is intended for the less practiced/known modalities or those with fewer resources or media coverage to obtain compensation in the score. Therefore, less practiced/known sports would get a higher score. Scoring will be provided based on the following ranking: https://www.rookieroad.com/sports-by-country-0319236/.
All SCS coaches who want to participate should send an email with all the information to: events@scs.academy.
Only for coaches aged 30 years or less.
EEVFA Oral and Poster Presentations Awards
- Candidates will be evaluated by a special award committee during the presentation of their oral or poster communication.
- Three winners will be selected for each type of presentation (3 poster and 3 oral). Winners will receive a special certificate and free access to the next two Congresses of EEVFA.
