It is our pleasure to invite you to the 3rd International Scientific Conference “Novelties in Sport Science”. This conference provides a perfect opportunity for all the researchers, practitioners and the people who have a keen interest in learning about the new advancements in sports science to come together and share their knowledge. The variety of topics presented in this collection of papers shows how alive and developing this field and is how it can benefit the health, performance, and education of people. The present proceedings of this year’s conference reveal novelty and interdisciplinarity of the research. From exploring the role of probiotics in athletic performance and intestinal health to the ethical contrasts between martial arts and Western sports, these studies reflect the rich interplay between tradition and innovation. Groundbreaking tools, such as the "Ski Easy" methodology, and transformative findings in areas like injury prevention and active aging illustrate how science can shape the future of sports and physical activity.
This year, a special emphasis is placed on sustainability and inclusivity. Presentations addressing sustainable sports tourism in Vojvodina and global initiatives for environmentally responsible sports practices showcase the role of sports science in advancing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Equally compelling are the contributions that explore how education and technology are transforming sports, from teaching English to sports professionals to leveraging wearable devices for cardiovascular health.
