The Sports Science Strength and Conditioning Department within the HKSI provides comprehensive services such as testing, analysis, programme design and training monitoring to help coaches in planning for improvements in training. Athletes take part in scientific testing, strengthening programmes, and recovery strategies based on individual assessment.
