Sport Science
Supporting athletes and coaches to prepare, perform, and progress at the highest level.
The HPSI Sport Science team provides exceptional support to athletes and coaches to prepare, perform, and progress at the highest level. We work alongside sport programmes to provide integrated support that is practical, timely, and aligned to the needs of each athlete and coach.
Our approach is centred on understanding what each athlete needs to perform. Delivered through a cluster-based model, our performance scientists work closely with coaches across daily training environments, specialist facilities, and laboratory settings to provide the right support, at the right time.
We bring together expertise across Strength and Conditioning, Physiology, Nutrition, Psychology, Biomechanics, Performance Analysis, Sport Technology, and Injury Management to support all aspects of performance. By working as one team, we ensure that support is connected, consistent, and focused on what matters most.
HPSI supports athletes across the performance pathway, from youth to senior levels, contributing to success at major competitions while continuing to improve how we support performance in Singapore.
Research & Innovation
Research and Innovation supports the ongoing improvement of athlete performance by connecting research with everyday practice. Our performance scientists use research to better understand training, recovery and competition, and to support coaches and athletes with practical insights.
A key part of this approach is a strong governance framework, supported by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), ensuring research is conducted safely, ethically, and efficiently within the high performance environment.
Our research is guided by clear priorities that align with sport needs, and we place strong emphasis on translating findings into practice. This ensures that knowledge is shared, understood, and applied to improve performance.
Strength & Conditioning
Strength and Conditioning supports athletes and coaches to develop the physical qualities needed for performance, including strength, speed, power, and resilience.
We work closely with coaches to design and deliver training programmes that prepare athletes for the demands of their sport. Support is provided across training environments and gym settings, with a focus on helping athletes train well, adapt to load, and stay robust throughout the season.
Sport Physiology
Sport Physiology helps athletes and coaches to understand how the body responds to training and competition. We guide training plans, monitor progress, and help athletes prepare for the physical demands of their sport.
This includes monitoring training load, conducting performance testing, and supporting recovery. We also help athletes prepare for specific conditions such as heat and altitude, with approaches tailored to individual needs.
Sport Nutrition
Sport Nutrition guides athletes and coaches to optimise fuelling for training and competition and facilitate post-exercise recovery.
We work with athletes to develop practical nutrition strategies that support performance and adaptation. This includes everyday eating, recovery, and preparing for training and competition, as well as guidance during travel and competition periods.
Sport Psychology
Sport Psychology supports athletes and coaches to develop the mental skills needed to perform under pressure and stay consistent in training and competition.
We work closely with athletes to build confidence, focus, and resilience, while also supporting team environments and coach-athlete relationships.
Sport Biomechanics
Sport Biomechanics aids athletes and coaches in understanding and improving how athletes move.
We analyse movement and provide practical feedback to help improve technique, efficiency, and reduce injury risk. Support is provided across training and competition settings, using video and other tools to guide improvements.
Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis helps athletes and coaches to understand an athlete's performance in training and competition.
We use video and data to provide clear feedback on what is happening during performance. This helps coaches and athletes make better decisions, prepare effectively, and improve outcomes.
Sport Technology
Sport Technology supports athletes and coaches by collecting and managing performance data.
We develop and use systems that help capture and organise information from training and competition, making it easier for coaches and practitioners to understand performance and provide timely feedback.
Injury Management
Injury Management supports athletes and coaches in reducing injury risk and managing recovery.
We work closely with athletes to support rehabilitation and return to training, ensuring they are ready to meet the demands of their sport safely and effectively
SSMC @ HPSI
The Sport Science and Sport Medicine (SSMC) team supports athletes and coaches by providing medical care that helps athletes stay healthy and available for training and competition.
We work closely with Injury Management and other sport science teams to provide coordinated care across training, rehabilitation, and competition environments. This includes supporting athletes during training camps and major competitions, ensuring they are able to perform when it matters most
