The First Conference on sport sciences and health Yazd University

Dear Distinguished Professors, Distinguished Researchers, and Dear Students:

Our advanced analysis of the need for research in sports and health sciences demonstrates that this scientific field is the fundamental foundation of individual and public health. Research in this field, by providing evidence-based solutions, combats global health challenges such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and mental disorders, and is not limited to improving the performance of elite athletes. This knowledge is the basis for planning to improve the quality of life and social productivity.

In addition to direct impacts on health, research in sports sciences can be an economic and social driver. This research paves the way for the emergence of new technologies, related industries, and health services, and contributes to economic growth. From a social perspective, scientific findings in this area help policymakers formulate “Sport for All” programs in a more equitable manner, facilitate access to physical activity for different groups such as children, the elderly, and the disabled, and utilize sport as a powerful tool to strengthen social cohesion and improve mental health. Therefore, investing in this research is not only a scientific choice, but also a strategic necessity to build a healthier and more sustainable future.

Yazd University is proud to host The First International Conference on Opportunities and Challenges in Sport Sciences and Active Lifestyle. This major scientific event is held as a platform for brainstorming, knowledge exchange, and presentation of the most innovative research achievements in the field of sport and health sciences, with the participation of prominent scholars, researchers, and experts from home and abroad.

We believe that achieving sustainable development depends on paying attention to the physical and mental health of all members of society, and sport sciences play an irreplaceable role in this path.

This scientific gathering is an exceptional opportunity to present the latest research, create scientific networks, identify upcoming challenges and explore new horizons in various fields of sports and health sciences.
