Training Theory from the Department of Movement and Sports Sciences at Ghent University. PACE aims to make the
acquired expertise from scientific research and practical experience available to elite athletes and teams, coaches,

Within ‘Coaching,’ PACE provides training guidance for elite
individual athletes and teams to achieve optimal performance.
This training guidance can be executed at various levels, ranging

always considers the profile of the sport and the athlete,
ensuring an optimal match through the training program.
Additionally, companies can also turn to PACE for
comprehensive training guidance for employees who train
together for a sporting goal (Mont Ventoux, 20km of Brussels,
etc.).
