FINA_logo_small16th FINA World Sports Medicine Congress,  April 7-8, 2008.

Since the first FINA Sports Medicine Congress, which took place in 1969 in London, the conferences and presentations submitted during the last 15 editions represent a source of information that continues to be useful to our athletes, coaches, clubs and Federations.

Three goals preside to this initiative:

  • To preserve and if possible to improve the athletes’ health;
  • To ensure their physical and mental condition through a harmonious activity;
  • To maintain, whenever possible, the equality of chances between competitors

FINA is proud of being one of the few International Sport Federations that, for so many years, carried out a policy of information and exchange of knowledge and ideas in the wide field of sports medicine.

Being also one of the FINA’s goals to disseminate and accelerate the participation of young competitors in our sport, it is of relevant importance to detect, correct and prevent the health or injuries problems that are inevitably associated with the practice of any physical activity.

Listed below are sections with selected presentations from this congress complete with video presentations. To continue please select a section and then a presentation you are interested in.
