The Ocean Race Europe in Genova

On the occasion of The Ocean Race Europe stopover in Genova, Akta co-hosted the event: “Human Performance in Extreme Conditions: A Roundtable with The Ocean Race” . The Ocean Race is the toughest challenge in offshore crewed sailing — pushing athletes to their physical, mental and emotional limits through sleep deprivation, harsh weather and relentless competition. These extreme conditions make it a unique laboratory for studying elite human performance under prolonged stress. Alongside The Ocean Race and the City of Genova, we brought together sailors, sports scientists, nutritionists and industry leaders to explore cutting-edge strategies in nutrition, crew health and performance management — with the goal of making elite sports science more accessible and relevant beyond the race course.
