CESAME’s research programme aligns closely with FIMS and IOC priorities, emphasising prevention, athlete-centred care, and sport-specific solutions.

• Elite Sports Performance & Athlete Health

AI-driven monitoring, wearable technologies, environmental physiology (heat and altitude), injury prevention, and return-to-play frameworks for elite and Olympic-level sport.

• Exercise Is Medicine & Precision Prevention

Personalised, proactive strategies using exercise to prevent and manage chronic disease, reduce physical inactivity, and improve population health across clinical and community settings.

• Brain Health, Concussion & Micro-Trauma

Detection and longitudinal monitoring of head-impact exposure, cognitive and oculomotor screening, and personalised rehabilitation pathways to protect long-term brain health in contact and sliding sports.

• Sport, Ethics & Industry Innovation

Evidence to inform sport governance, eligibility policy, digital health ethics, and innovation at the interface of sport science, medicine, and the sports industry.
