Need to polish up on the latest sport research in South Africa? Then SasReCon 2010 is the place to be!

There’s no doubt tht SasReCon will carry even more value for delegates this year than it did in the past. Judging by the last two editions of this important sport science event, more than 350 delegates are expected to attend.

The theme of this year’s event is Sport, Recreation and Physical Education – An Essential Triad” and will highlight the important triangular relationship between sport science, recreation and physical education.

SasReCon is SRSA’s initiative to bring together sport practitioners and sport science academics to foster an atmosphere where the former can learn about the latest research in sport and hopefully implement it on the field.

It’s most probably that the event will once again be opened by the Deputy Minister of Sport, Mr Gert Oosthuizen, who takes a keen interest in the event and the impact it can have on the sporting community.
