The primary mandate of the Centre for Elite Sports Research (SenTIF) is to conduct applied research and user-oriented dissemination on key issues relevant to Norwegian elite sports. Through research and targeted communication, SenTIF contributes knowledge that is used to enhance elite sports performance in Norway—both for able-bodied and para-athletes.

SenTIF aims to be a nationally leading and internationally recognized centre for elite sports research. This ambition is realized through:

• High-quality research
• Topics relevant to elite sports
• Close collaboration with practitioners
• User-oriented dissemination

SenTIF is part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (MH) at NTNU and is organized under the Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science (INB), within the academic unit for Geriatrics, Movement, and Stroke (GeMS-R).

We are based in the Helgasetr Building at Campus Øya, together with the broader movement science community. In addition, we are present at the Elite Sports Centre in Granåsen several days a week.
