On line Archive |
|
Dear ISBS members, It is my privilege to announce the opening of the ISBS archive. The ISBS archive will host all issues ever published within the ISBS proceedings, from the very first issue published back in 1983 - SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, US to the previous. This announcement marks the start of it. So, you actually will find the articles of the XXIV Symposium: 2006 held in Salzburg, Austria only. But, we are working on the next issues. The ISBS archive is structured as an open access journal. Anybody with a working internet connection can access the full papers free of charge. You have the possibilities of browsing, searching (title, author, etc.) and downloading. So give it a trial at http://w4.ub.uni-konstanz.de/cpa. Manfred Vieten |

Online Manuscript Submission for Publication in' Sports Biomechanics' |
|
The online manuscript submission system for 'Sports Biomechanics (SB)' is now up and running. The URL for the SB's Manuscript Central site is http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rspb. Check the journal homepage(http://www.informaworld.com/rspb) for the list of recently published issues and articles. To submit a manuscript for publication in SB, you will need to create your account first. By default, you will be given the author and reviewer privileges. It is important for you to supply up to five keywords that best describe your interest areas. There are a set of keywords registered but you may enter new keywords. I'd like to encourage all competent biomechanists to register on the system so that I can utilize your expertises in the reviewing process. With your support, SB will grow into a great asset to the field of sport biomechanics and biomechanics in general. SB is a relatively young journal, in its 6th year of circulation, dedicated to sport (and related) biomechanics. SB is the official journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) and is published by Taylor & Francis. SB is currently covered by several Thomson Scientific's products such as Journal Citation Reports(R) and SCI Expanded(TM) and included in databases such as InformaWorld, Medline and SPORTDicus. Although the impact factor is not available yet, SB has been well perceived by biomechanists in the area of exercise & sport science (Knudson & Chow, 2007). The types of accepted manuscripts are Original Research, Reviews (normally by invitation only), Teaching, and New Methods and Theoretical Perspectives. Currently, three issues are published a year but SB will become quarterly no later than 2009. The author guidelines are available at the abovementioned Manuscript Central site. I look forward to receiving your manuscripts and your contributions to the journal. Reference: Young-Hoo Kwon, Co-Editor |

Student’s opportunity in Germany! Master
Course in Sports Science conducted in English. |
||||||
| Dear Colleagues, For most Students studying in Germany was out of question because of the foreign language German, hard to learn and not one of the world languages. From this year onwards the University of Konstanz offers a Master Course in Sports Sciences fully taught in English. So, students from around the world can experience a different environment and still can use English in class. The M.A.-Study is qualifying students for the various
scientifically-oriented professional fields of sport, sport education and
sport sciences. The foundations of the M.A.-study are - besides
didactical/methodical as well as sport-practical knowledge and experiences -
especially the dealing with the scientific methods and themes of the subject
field. The study is geared towards discussing the innovations grounded in
sport sciences in regard to its actual needs and to the transfer of the
scientific results to practice. Organization and Cost: 1. The four semester study (after B.A. or B.S.) is a combination of distance learning (Semester 1 – SS 2008), residence in Konstanz (WS 2008/2009 and SS 2009), and free choice of stay (WS 2009/2010 – writing the Master thesis). 2. The whole study is conducted in English. 3. The study fees for one semester are € 587.70 and for the complete
study € 2350.80. As an attachment you find
Can you please put the content of the attachment onto your institute’s bulletin board and forward this email to potentially interested persons. Thanks for your cooperation. Manfred Vieten |

Message from the president :
"Happy New Year 2008!" |
|
Dear ISBS members,
Happy New Year!
In 2007, we celebrated the 26th anniversary of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports. We also gathered in Ouro Preto, Brazil, for the 25th International Symposium on Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS2007) last August 24-28. This is the first time that ISBS has had its annual symposium in the South American Continent. Thus, except Africa, the geographic spread of ISBS symposium has encompassed all continents of the world. This reflects the core objective of ISBS: to promote biomechanics in sports all over the world.
The members of the Board that consists of the Directors of the Board and the Executives of ISBS worked hard during the ISBS2007 to discuss further the developments of ISBS while maintaining its tradition and vision. The discussion covered broad issues that include the election of a new Secretary General, By-Laws Committee, Guidelines for ISBS Conferences, Rename ISBS Symposium, Guidelines for Hans Gros Award evaluation, Webmaster, ISBS logo, Students’ conference scholarship, ISBS 2009, ISBS2011, Meeting time in ISBS conference, and the like. The detailed discussion of each issue can be found in the pre- and post-conference meeting minutes that will be presented to you soon. In this note, I will report on some pieces of information that are important for the Society and that relate to its members.
1. ISBS logo. As reported by Mr. Drew Harrison in the pre-conference meeting, among 82 members who participated in the e-mail vote, 52 agreed while 22 disagreed to change the logo, with 8 ballots deemed invalid. The post-conference meeting concluded that the President would appoint a committee to move the logo issue forward. I am pleased to announce that Dr. Spiros Prassas, Director of the Board, has been appointed as the Chairman of the Logo Committee. Dr. Prassas will form a committee to deal with this issue.
2. Students’ conference scholarship. In the same meeting, Dr. Young-Hoo Kwon informed the committee that there would be increased income from the new agreement of Sports Biomechanics with the publisher Tailor & Francis. Young-Hoo suggested that a scholarship be established to support the students participating in the ISBS symposium. In the meeting, it was agreed upon that this proposal be supported. The VP for Conferences was directed to investigate proposals and report back to the Board of Directors. Dr. Mario Lamontagne, the VP for Conference, is working on this issue.
3. There are many other positive moves initiated by the Executives and Directors, among which, I would like to mention the ISBS Archive System. In the Pre-Conference Meeting of ISBS2007, Dr. Manfred Vieten, the Treasurer, proposed to initiate an archive system for ISBS conference papers. The Board endorsed this proposal with a financial support scheme. Today, we can see that the development of the archive system is in progress. This system is significant because it can be extended to the meeting minutes of ISBS, which will record the historic development of the Society. Thank you Manfred for your great work!
4. ISBS has joined the on-line courses in coaching science an time initiated by U21 Sport and Exercises Sciences group through the initiatives of Dr. Ross Sanders, the VP for Research. In the meantime, Dr. Angus Burnett, VP for Public Relations, is working to recruit new sponsorship of ISBS and develop new collaboration with ISB.
5. One issue that may interest members is the new ISBS Fellow program. Members who are interested in submitting an application for the award of ISBS Fellow can expect to receive an invitation of submission in spring.
6. Finally, members who plan to host the 28th International Symposium on Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS2010) can start preparing their proposals. The invitation for submission of proposal will be sent via e-mail soon.
See you in Seoul for ISBS2008. Prof Youlian Hong [youlianhong@cuhk.edu.hk] |
