Welcome Message

Professor Yaodong Gu
Congress Chairman
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th World Racket Sports Science Congress, hosted by Ningbo University in the vibrant coastal city of Ningbo, China, from 23rd to 25th October 2026.
Racket sports captivate millions worldwide, yet they present complex scientific challenges-from performance optimization and injury prevention to the evolving impact of equipment and technology. This Congress serves as a vital platform for scientists, coaches, clinicians, and practitioners to share the latest research and practical insights across fields such as biomechanics, physiology, nutrition, rehabilitation, and sports technology.
We are honored to collaborate with esteemed institutions including the University of Ljubljana, University of Granada, and Niigata Institute of Technology in organizing this gathering. Together, we aim to foster meaningful global exchange and advance the science that supports both elite performance and lifelong participation in racket sports.
Your expertise and engagement are essential to this dialogue. We warmly invite you to join as researchers to participate, and to contribute to what promises to be an inspiring and impactful event.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ningbo in October, 2026!

Sincerely,
Professor Yaodong Gu
