SPIN 2022: A RECORD EDITION FOR INS QUÉBEC!

No less than 25 INS Québec affiliated members took part in the 17th SPIN Summit in Richmond, British Columbia. This record number not only consolidates the Institute’s role as a leader in sport research and innovation, but also demonstrates the organization’s constant progress.

Each year, the Sport and Innovation Summit (SPIN) is Canada’s leading professional development and networking symposium in the areas of applied sport science, sport medicine and innovation.

This conference, which brings together experts from around the world to build knowledge and create tools to foster success in Olympic and Paralympic sports through technological and scientific research, was a real success for INS Québec.

Its 25 speakers took the opportunity to highlight the work supported by the Institute, as well as its sports and academic collaborators, during 15 presentations on various themes.

Resilience and psychological safety in the sport environment, injury prevention, concussion, relative energy deficit, mental health, artificial intelligence, digital vision and virtual reality were among the topics discussed.

Our organization is proud of the work accomplished during this 17th SPIN Summit and to have once again had the opportunity to exchange and share its work with international leaders in the field.
