International Confederation of Sport and Exercise Science Practice
Bringing brilliance together for better
Imagine the difference we could make to health, sports and activity with a global, unified voice!
As individuals and regional organisations, it’s harder when we try to do it on our own. The International Confederation of Sport and Exercise Science Practice was established in 2020 by national associations representing New Zealand, Australian, British, American and Canadian national associations in recognition of the positive benefits of global strategic connection.
Globally, the burden of chronic disease reduces the potential we can achieve as individuals, families, communities and nations. Cultural, personal, economic and environmental factors are all impacted by our physical health.
As sport and exercise scientists, we are the experts in assisting individuals, sports organisations and teams, communities and countries to apply the benefits of physical activity and exercise to perform better and optimise health, wellbeing and productivity.
Our vision is to positively impact individuals, communities and countries by advancing the international practice of the sport and exercise sciences.
ICSESP: A united voice and common platform
The purpose of the confederation is to serve as the peak international body to represent and support
national sport and exercise science associations and the professions they represent.
