Sports science and the AFL

Today we talk with Ian McKeown, Head of High Performance at the Port Adelaide Football Club. Off the back of the Olympics, and now as we head towards the finals of the winter codes, maximising the performance of athletes in their chosen pursuits is front of mind. The role that sports science plays in improving performance continues to grow, as people such as Ian find new ways to train the human body. Today’s interview is hosted by Royal Institution of Australia Editor-in-chief Ian Connellan.
