Professor Ákos Koller, Chair of the Scientific Council of Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) and researcher at the Institute of Sport Physiology attended an international sports science conference with the aim of strengthened professional ties between Hungary and Thailand.

From June 17 to 22 2025, Bangkok hosted the 13th International Conference on Sports and Exercise Science & Annual Meeting of the Sports Medicine Association of Thailand (ICSES & SMAT 2025). The event, organized by Mahidol University, focussed on merging sports science and medicine in preparation for the Southeast Asian Games. Hungary was represented by Professor Ákos Koller, researcher at Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS), Chair of the Scientific Council, who was also invited to present his latest findings.

The conference welcomed nearly 400 participants from across Asia and beyond. Its theme – “Bridging Sports Science and Medicine for SEA Games Success” – emphasized the growing collaboration between scientific and medical disciplines in athletic preparation and performance.

Ákos Koller gave a 45-minute lecture titled “Exercise-induced adaptations of the coronary vasculature: physiological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms.” His presentation detailed how regular physical activity positively influences the coronary vascular system at multiple biological levels, highlighting the role of exercise in cardiovascular health.
