A sport philosopher's insight on the divide between scientist and coach was the highest point of this top conference. Novel strategies for performance enhancement included stiff insoles for cyclists and psychological assessment for identifying young talent. Acute Effects: pacing; cold-water immersion; stretching; post-activation potentiation; shoe stiffness; carbon insoles; cycle cranks; site of fatigue; menstrual cycle; hologram bracelets. Nutrition: carbohydrate; protein; HMB; beetroot juice; caffeine; bicarbonate; NAC; astaxanthin, probiotics. Tests, Technology and Monitoring: power on the pedal; virtual reality cycling; incremental cycling test; training-performance models; running tests; heart-rate recovery; instrumented kayak paddle; throwing in water polo; visual search in volleyball; perceived exertion; hormone and damage markers; soccer tactical skill; GPS; skiing eccentric ergometer. Performance and Game Analysis: kinematics, movements and actions in various sports; team dynamics; soccer scores; rhythmic gymnastics scores; rowing times. Talent Identification and Development: AFL draft camp, young soccer players; physiological tests and psychological skills for soccer; sporting talent in children; coordination for gymnasts; infrastructure for gymnastics; career transition for basketball players; genotypes. Training: load-guided system; interval training; hyperoxia; interfer-ence for golf putting; Pilates for dancers; resistance for swimmers; post-altitude optimum; electrical stimulation; core exercises, deliberate practice; resistance and intervals for soccer. KEYWORDS: elite athletes, ergogenic aids, nutrition, talent identification, tests, training.
