The National Coaching Academy (NCA) successfully concluded the 4th Cohort of the Accelerated Sports Science Course on 6 July 2026, marking another milestone in strengthening sports science education and building the capacity of coaches and sports professionals across Bhutan. Conducted with support from the Bhutan Olympic Committee (BOC) and Olympic Solidarity, the programme reflects the Academy's ongoing commitment to enhancing athlete performance through quality education and professional development.

Held from 15 June to 5 July 2026, the intensive 20-day course brought together 21 participants from various National Sports Federations and sporting organizations. The curriculum focused on four key areas of modern sports science: Sports Nutrition, Periodization, Sports Injury Prevention and Management, and Biomechanics. Through a combination of theoretical and practical learning, participants gained valuable knowledge in athlete nutrition, training planning, injury prevention and management, recovery strategies, and biomechanical principles to support effective coaching and long-term athlete development.

The closing ceremony was attended by the Secretary General of the Bhutan Olympic Committee, representatives from National Sports Federations, course facilitators, and invited guests. Certificates were awarded to all 21 participants in recognition of their successful completion of the programme.

The Bhutan Olympic Committee remains committed to expanding sports science education through future diploma and degree programmes to develop a strong network of qualified sports professionals. The knowledge and skills gained through this course are expected to strengthen coaching practices, enhance athlete performance, and contribute to the continued growth of sport in Bhutan.
