We warmly invite you to the International Conference on Kinanthropology – Sport and Quality of Life, hosted by the Faculty of Sports Studies at Masaryk University in collaboration with the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb, taking place 3–5 December 2025 in Brno, Czech Republic.
Since 2006, this conference has been a leading forum for scientists, academics, and doctoral students in the fields of sport science, health, physical activity, and quality of life to exchange ideas, present research, and build professional connections. The program will feature expert sessions, keynote lectures, and plenty of opportunities for networking in an inspiring setting.
Which leading scientific minds can you look forward to?
This year’s keynote speakers are:
Prof. Dr. Claudio R. Nigg, University of Bern (Switzerland), whose research explores motivation for physical activity and health behavior change across all age groups.
Prof. Dr. em. Romain Meeusen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium), an expert on the relationship between physical activity and brain function, focusing on both health and the prevention of overload.
Dr. Dean Kriellaars, Human Potential Research Centre (HUPR *) Montreal (Canada), a leading authority on physical literacy and its application in education and community practice.
The scientific program will also be enriched by section-opening talks from:
Dr. Martina Navarro, University of Portsmouth (United Kingdom), presenting an innovative approach to designing environments that promote physical activity, with an emphasis on the “Skills Garden” concept.
Dr. Craig McNulty, Queensland University of Technology (Australia), focusing on health and performance monitoring in esports and emerging opportunities for professional support.
A lively social program will complement the conference, featuring contributions from partners CIRQUEON and the circus school LeGrando.
We also gratefully acknowledge the support of Rankacy and Aktivní škola v JMK. Special thanks also go to Masaryk University.
Adding to the experience, the conference coincides with the start of the Advent season, offering participants the chance to enjoy both new scientific insights and the festive atmosphere of Christmas Brno.
