Dr. Kimi Sato, an assistant professor of exercise and sport sciences (EXSS), is pleased to give more information on the announcement that East Tennessee State University (ETSU) will be a host for International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) annual conference in July of 2014.
The ISBS annual conference is held every summer in different continents. Previous conference sites includes: Marquette, MI (2010), Porto, Portugal (2011), Melbourne, Australia (2012). In 2013, it will be in Taipei, Taiwan.
The primary purposes of the ISBS are; a) to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between sports biomechanics researchers, coaches, and teachers, b) to bridge gap between researchers and practitioners, and c) to gather and disseminate information and materials on biomechanics in sports. ISBS executive officers as well as board members welcome and encourage new members including students to be a part of the ISBS family to carry our passion to help coaches, athletes, and active populations.
Dr. Sato has been a member of the ISBS and attending the conference since 2005 as a graduate student. This conference has been a great resource for his educational and professional developments to share the same interest with other ISBS members. This conference has motivated Dr. Sato for higher education in exercise and sport science and to provide positive influence to others.
We will be hosting this conference to share the latest information and technology in sports biomechanics as well as showcasing beautiful East Tennessee. According to ISBS website, ISBS conference has never been held in southeast region of the USA and this will be an excellent opportunity for foreign delegates as well as US delegates to experience the wonderful Appalachian region.
Organizing members including our EXSS faculty hope to provide great educational, friendly, and memorable experiences to all delegates.
More information on this, and other CESSCE events, will be posted here at sportscienceed.com.
