SelectScience is delighted to announce the launch of its ground-breaking Science Behind the FIFA World Cup 2014 Special Feature, which celebrates the role of science in this global sporting event.

In honor of this year’s FIFA World Cup, SelectScience traveled to Brazil to talk to leading scientists across a range of disciplines to learn how in-field and laboratory sciences are helping to protect both players and fans during the tournament, and how scientific analysis can be used to manage athlete health and improve player performance.

Plus you’ll hear from FIFA’s Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Medical Officer for the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee.

The Science Behind the World Cup 2014 Special Feature will also include the world’s first online in vivo football experiment, to discover how the Sportomics approach of applying biochemistry in the field can identify markers of athlete health, in order to improve performance real-time.
