Why would you come to one our Conferences in Surfing Medicine? Why would you choose Surfing Medicine on top of your specialty training? In what way is Surfing Medicine different? You might already find the answer in this poster, but I am sure you will find the answer at this year’s conference in magic Ireland!!
We are proud to announce Prof. dr. Miguel Moreira who will instruct a masterclass and lecture in training and performance in Surfing during the conference and academy.
Training and Performance, Surfers Physiology, Surf Science
He worked as a gymnastics coach (trampoline) in Ginásio Clube Português and afterwards he started a pioneer project (Surftec, 2000) with the aim on surf research & technical development, teaching & coaching, and competition support. As a coach and project manager he had some good sport results (2 European championships with the National team, 3 National cup winners, 1 European Clubs Cup, 3 National champions surf youth, 1 vice-champion U14, and 2 third places U18 Boys and Girls in Euro Juniors 2008 Morocco). At this moment he is the coordinator of the post-graduation surf course at the faculty of Human Kinetics University of Lisbon (PT). In October 2007 he was appointed as the Professor in Sport Coaching (surf) at the department of Sport & Health. The faculty has a bilateral agreement with both the Portuguese Surf Federation (FPS) and with Hydrographic Institute (IH, an agency of the Portuguese Navy). His major focuses of attention are sport performance and sport expertise including qualitative task analysis.
The scientific interest in surfing started when he worked as a coach in the Surftec project. During his career as a Professor he published a book (“Surf: from science to practice”) and several articles on surf characterization, training methods, and didactics. In 2007 he completed the PhD thesis “Matrix of Analysis for Sports Tasks. Structural classification system. Taxonomic Surf model”. He is a regular national and international invited speaker and teacher on these subjects, from a practical coaching level to the theoretical level. He is affiliated to the European College of Sport Sciences. Dr. Miguel Moreira is also involved in research, education and strategy planning in several other fields such as gymnastics, diving and football refereeing. He has published several articles and presented scientific papers on these topics.
At the moment he is consulting the Portuguese Surf Federation and involved in the coaching of the national surf teams of Portugal.
With International Surfing Day 2014 (#ISD14) still fresh in our memory … we’d like to acknowledge the enormous efforts of organisations who protect our coasts and safeguard our oceans, e.g. Clean Coasts Ireland (#cleancoasts), Surfers Against Sewage (SAS), Surfrider Foundation. These organisations, supported by thousands of hours of voluntary commitment (e.g. time, monetary contribution, etc.), spearhead the agenda to keep the ocean and our coastal environments they way we need and like them.
Recognising that the ocean is a crucial resource and a key environmental determinant of health in the lives of surfers, the EASD teamed up with Clean Coasts Ireland for our surfers’ health symposium – The Surfer’s Academy (13 September 2014). Looking after our coastline contributes hugely to “Keeping the Surfer [and their communities] Healthy and Safe”, that’s why we’re stoked about working with Clean Coasts!
Clean Coasts Ireland will deliver a talk during “The Elements” section of the Surfer’s Academy, highlighting some of their successful community engagement and mobilisation initiatives, such as:
Currently, there are over 400 groups taking part! ‘Coastcare’ facilitates community guardianship of adopted stretches of coastline and supports the establishment of engaged community networks to champion coastal management, environmental actions, and education activities.
This award is for beaches which, not only have excellent water quality, but also have a natural, unspoilt environment – meaning that the special character of such a beach may not be compatible with the level of infrastructure and intensive management generally associated with more urban, traditional seaside resort beaches. Mullaghmore and Streedagh are two such spots in Sligo, which is why we’ll be taking you there as part of the “Outdoor” activities on the 11th Sept during Conference 2014!
Check out all of the above and more at http://www.cleancoastsireland.org/ and support Clean Coasts Ireland, or your local organisation!
Clean Coasts Ireland have very kindly arranged for their award-winning “Love Your Coast” photography exhibition to be displayed at the Surfer’s Academy.
