Sports play a significant role in society, influencing physical and mental health, social cohesion, and economic development. As the field of sports continues to evolve, there is a growing need for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative approaches to enhance athletic performance, promote athlete well-being, and optimize sports management practices.

The 3rd International Conference on Applied Sports (ICAS 2026) builds upon the success of its previous editions held in 2023 and 2025. The first two conferences attracted enthusiastic participation from delegates representing countries such as Vietnam, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and several other nations, fostering international collaboration and knowledge exchange in the field of sports.

ICAS 2026 aims to foster international collaboration and facilitate the exchange of research knowledge in the fields of physical education, sports science, and sport management. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, workshops, and academic paper presentations, participants will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research findings, emerging technologies, and practical strategies designed to enhance sports performance, athlete well-being, and the overall development of the sports sector.
