This initiative is led by the Kansai Sports Medicine & Science Support Consortium, established under the Japan Sports Agency's 'Regional Sports Medicine and Science Support System Development Project,' aiming to support junior high and high school athletes across the Kansai region through sports medicine and science to enhance athletic performance.
Making Sports Medicine and Science More Accessible Across Kansai
The Kansai Sports Medicine & Science Support Consortium is building a comprehensive support system for sports medicine and science, targeting not only elite and junior athletes but also all generations, including school club activities.
Under the concept of 'Making Sports Medicine and Science More Accessible,' the consortium provides integrated scientific assessments (measurements) and support based on evidence, aiming not only to improve performance but also to create an environment where everyone can utilize sports medicine and science.
Medical-Science Assessment Session Supported by the Kansai Economic Federation
