Applied Performance Science:
Real-World Problem Solving in Elite Sport and Dance
Dr. Jamie Tallent from the School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences at the University of Essex will present examples of how we tackle complex performance questions across multiple sectors, from managing rehearsal load in ballet and optimising bat speed in cricket. These case studies show how we combine scientific methods to drive evidence-based solutions that reduce injury and enhance performance.
Please Note:
In the event of unforeseen circumstances resulting with us having to cancel the meeting we will email the person who has booked the tickets(s). We will also put a notice on this website. Therefore please check before travelling to venue. Thank you.
How do we choose speakers?
We are always looking for people who can speak about their research, and we try to provide a wide range of subjects each season. If you are interested in giving a talk at Colchester Cafe Scientifique, or you know someone who would be willing, please contact John Ratford.
We have organised two ecology talks; two psychology; two sociology and a human biology talk to complete this current 2025/2026 season.
Details of each will be published a month before each presentation
