Dr John Dickenson, James Hogg and Arthur Bossi went to Strasbourg for a week in November to Perform a series of workshops as an Inside Sport Science initiative.
This partnership between the British Council and Strasbourg’s local education office aims to disseminate sports science knowledge with interactive activities for students, raising their consciousness about the importance of knowing, as well as the importance of understanding and communicating in English.
The workshops were aimed to teach the avid learners how we can use simple solutions to design their home-made sports drinks, how physical talents might be detected in early stages of sports development and how science has been used to bring forth the ultimate performance gain. In addition, students had the opportunity to exercise and then see how their bodies respond pre and post effort, by means of heart rate and oxygen saturation of the blood.
These workshops were more than just spreading science knowledge, they were about the social impact. Students were able to see they were capable of reaching new horizons.
