Mr. Surasak Koetchantuek, Deputy Governor for Sports Promotion at the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), presided over the program\u2019s opening ceremony. It was held on July 26, 2026, at the Convention Hall Pavilion on the 8th floor of The Grand Fourwings Convention Hotel, Srinakarin, Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, SAT, and the National Sports Development Fund. It aims to enhance the performance of at least 300 athletes across nine sports: football, futsal, volleyball, taekwondo, basketball, esports, badminton, athletics, and golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative uses genetic analysis and systematic collection of individual athlete data. Saliva samples are collected to assess fitness, health, nutrition, recovery, injury risks, sleep habits, and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each athlete will receive a report with personalized recommendations to help guide training plans, health management, and injury prevention. The information will also be made available through an online system so coaches, sports associations, and other relevant parties can use it to plan athlete development more effectively and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program marks another step toward using modern science and technology to develop sports systematically, build a stronger foundation, improve competitiveness, and prepare Thai athletes to achieve lasting success on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
