Dear colleagues and students,
On behalf of the Strength and Conditioning Society and the Oporto University, we would like to extend a warm welcome to join us at the SCS 4th Annual Conference on Strength and Conditioning for Human Performance in Porto 12th to 13th November. The conference will take place right in the heart the Porto, in the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto, surrounded by all the modernity and efficiency that this unforgettable region has to offer.
We are confident that you will find the dynamic and up to date scientific programme, delivered by some of the leading exponents and thinkers in training, rehabilitation and performance, enjoyable and stimulating. Our main goal is to bring together the excellence of each field of research and study and we aim to provide every opportunity for delegates to learn from and contribute to the latest developments in strength and conditioning science in a stimulating social and professional setting.
Due to current limitation there are only 100 seats available for attending participants on site but we have already planned the possibility for you to join the conference virtually if you were unable to attend.
We look forward to seeing you there!
If you were an attendee or have purchased the recordings you should have received the password from the Secretariat – if not please contact scs@akesios.it

SCS Young Investigator Award Requirements
SCS Applied Science Award Requirements:
The winners will be presented during the Award Ceremony.
Enquiries can be sent to scs@akesios.it.
A key objective of the SCS is to promote junior (35 years of age or younger at the time of the deadline for submission) scientists and practitioners in the field of S&C. Hence, the emerging S&C coach of the year award is an integral part of the SCS annual congress. Here, the emerging S&C coach of the year has the opportunity to enter this prestigious competition for practical and scientific excellence, where their outstanding work can be presented at the annual congress.
A jury consisting of the SCS Scientific Board and Scientific Committee grants the awards based upon their applications.
By this award, SCS recognize the practical competencies of our field, but with the requirement that it is scientifically sound and therefore that training prescriptions are based on the latest scientific evidence. Furthermore, the emerging S&C coach of the year must perform their work in agreement with SCS’s mission, thus all S&C coaches focusing on performance enhancement, injury prevention, rehabilitation and health improvement are eligible for the award.
The Deadline for submission is 31st October, 2021. The candidate can submit the application in any of the three official languages of the Strength & Conditioning Society (English, Spanish or Portuguese). Documents must be sent via Email to scs@akesios.it with “Emerging S&C Coach of the Year Award Application” Subject.
Criteria – Emerging S&C Coach of the Year
1. Justifying report (50 points): The candidate must demonstrate their merit by justifying why he/she is worthy of the award. This is very important as it will allow the SCS to demonstrate at the conference why the candidate was chosen as the winner. The document to be submitted by the candidate should consist of a presentation or dossier (5 pages max) containing a justification and pictures or videos that support why he/she deserves the recognition. The items of this report should be:
*The winner will be asked to prepare a short presentation for the conference.
2. Achievements (30 points): The candidate must provide evidence of the achievements by his/her athletes in national or international competitions. The candidate must demonstrate that the coaching philosophy and training methods used deserve recognition by producing relevant results (National level: score band 1-10 points; Continental level: 11-20 points; World level or Olympic Games: 21-30 points).
3. Prominence of the sport (20 points): This section is intended for the less practised/known modalities or those with fewer resources or media coverage to obtain a score compensation. The SCS recognises that the resources differ between sports and that strength and conditioning coaches working in less practised/known sports have less support or opportunity to acquire cutting-edge technologies or assistance for data collection, data analysis, training camp preparations, etc. Scoring will be based on the ranking at http://www.biggestglobalsports.com/, as follows:
Sports ranked 1-20: 4 points
Sports ranked 21-40: 8 points
Sports ranked 41-60: 12 points
Sports ranked 61-80: 16 points
Sports ranked 81-100 (and those not listed): 20 points
