Back to Sport 2026 – From Rehabilitation to Full Readiness for Sport

The Back to Sport 2026 scientific and training conference will take place on 28 September 2026 at Opole University of Technology. The event will focus on modern approaches to returning athletes to physical activity and competition following injury. The conference will combine perspectives from medicine, physiotherapy, sports diagnostics and strength and conditioning. The programme will cover the entire return-to-sport pathway: from treatment and rehabilitation through strength rebuilding and load progression to functional testing and the assessment of full readiness for sport. The programme will include topics such as blood flow restriction training, isometric training, force-platform diagnostics and the impact of different orthopaedic procedures on the rehabilitation process. From 13:00 to 13:45, Łukasz Oleksy, PhD, will deliver a lecture entitled “Biomechanics and Controversies in Returning to Sport After Injury”. The presentation will address the role of biomechanics, objective diagnostics and data interpretation in making decisions about an athlete’s safe return to training and competition. Participation is free with prior registration.
