ITTF Sports Science Congresses

The 17th International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Sports Science Congress will take place on 15-16 May 2025 at Aspetar, a world-leading specialised orthopaedic and sports medicine hospital in Doha, Qatar—the first of its kind in the Middle East.

Bringing together physicians, allied healthcare practitioners, sports scientists, coaches, and sports managers, the Congress will provide a platform to:

  • Explore the latest research in table tennis across various sports science disciplines.
  • Discuss injury risks, health considerations, and best practices in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for players of all ages and genders.
  • Gain insights into travel sports medicine, including the effects of transoceanic travel, sleep, and performance management for elite athletes.
  • Understand the role of shared decision-making in sports science and medicine.

The full agenda is available here, and speaker announcements are coming up!

Seats are limited, and registration is required—secure your spot now on Aspetar website.
