  • Biomechanics Programming ACSM 2000

    Colleagues,

    I want to provide additional detail regarding the biomechanics-related
    programming at this year's Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports
    Medicine (ACSM) in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. The conference dates are May
    31 to June 3, 2000. Additional program and conference details are available
    at the ACSM website (http://www.acsm.org). The initial advanced
    registration deadline for the meeting is 3/15/2000.

    In addition, the Executive Committee of the Biomechanics Interest Group
    (BIG) of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) invites submission
    of biomechanics-related programming for the 2001 ACSM Annual Meeting. The
    2001 Annual Meeting of the ACSM will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA
    from May 30 to June 2, 2001.

    Individuals interested in developing program sessions or proposing ideas for
    programming content are encouraged to submit their ideas to the Biomechanics
    Interest Group. The session abstracts and program ideas will be posted on
    the BIG web site for review by the biomechanics community and briefly
    presented during the Interest Group Meeting at this year's ACSM Annual
    Meeting. A portion of the Interest Group Meeting at this year's Annual
    Meeting will be devoted to discussion of the proposed programming and
    planning of meeting content for ACSM 2001.

    Individuals interested in developing program sessions or proposing ideas for
    programming content may contact me (michael.feltner@pepperdine.edu) via
    email.

    On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Biomechanics Interest Group of
    ACSM (Paul DeVita, Kathy Simpson & Steve McCaw), I want to thank all the
    members of our community who are either participating or assisting in the
    development of programming for the upcoming Annual Meeting of the ACSM.
    Additionally, I encourage all members of our community to consider attending
    this year's meeting in Indianapolis.

    Sincerely,

    Michael Feltner, Ph.D., FACSM
    Liaison, Biomechanics Interest Group ACSM
