ABOUT

The European College of Sport Science (ECSS) is the leading association of sport scientists in Europe, and its main scientific event is the ECSS Annual Congress. The ECSS was founded in 1995, and the 1st ECSS Congress was held one year after that in Nice, France. Nowadays, the ECSS Congress is the biggest event in sport and exercise science in Europe, and the second biggest in the world, with around 3 000 people participating every year. This year the ECSS Congress was held on 3-6 July 2019 at the Prague Congress Centre in Prague, Czech Republic.

PARTICIPANTS

OUR CONTRIBUTION

At this Congress I presented findings from our study on body composition and nutrient intake of elite rhythmic gymnasts from Bulgaria. The participants in this study consists of a unique sample of world-class competitors, bronze medallists from the 2016 Olympic games in Rio, and gold medallists from World Rhythmic Gymnasics Championships. Our presentation was part of the Oral presentations from the official scientific programme at the ECSS Prague 2019. The abstract was published as conference proceedings of the 24th Annual Congress of the ECSS. After the Congress, our study was built upon further and the complete findings were published in the International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching, Vol.15(1), 2020.

SUMMARY

This was my first ECSS Congress. I am delighted to have been one of the winners at the 3rd ECSS SportEx Raffle during the Congress, where I won the Kubios HRV Premium Software. I also took part in the 5th ECSS Bengt Saltin Charity Run, which was part of the programme at the ECSS 2019. I listened to one of the top scientists presenting cutting edge research, made new friends, and had one of the best experiences in my life.
