New Approaches for Dissemination and Implementation of Sport-Science Research Outcomes

Readers of the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance (IJSPP) will be familiar with the requirement to highlight the practical applications of a study. Typically, the practical application section comprises a short series of statements detailing how the outcomes can be applied in one or more sport settings (eg, field or court training, in the gym, competitions, recovery, and/or more broadly in athlete-development pathways) for the direct benefit of the athlete and/or coach. However, the value of research can be realized in other practical settings or more broadly for the benefit of others, in addition to the immediate beneficiaries.
