    Dear colleagues,

    It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to invite you
    to the second International Conference on Movement and Health,
    scheduled to be held on September 15 - 18, 2001 in Olomouc - Czech
    Republic.

    The second international conference on Movement and Health addresses
    a wide spectrum of unusual scientific issues in compliance with the
    main theme of the conference. An integral part of the conference are
    presentations by 12 keynote speakers whose scientific expertise
    guarantees exceptional quality to the programme of the conference.
    The invited lecturers represent key scientific disciplines and their
    lectures are mainly centred on presenting a general overview of the
    latest developments in the search for solutions to key problems in
    respective domains. Other participants to the conference will have
    the opportunity to take part in a fruitful discussion on related
    topics with these specialists initially within the framework of
    question and answer session (30-minute-discussion after each
    lecture), and later within the framework of a rich social programme.
    All participants are encouraged to present results of their research
    in the form of posters within a specified period of time. The first
    workshop, under the banner of IIHP (International Institute for
    Health Promotion), will be dedicated to global prospects and complex
    issues relating to health support in various corners of the world.
    Participants to the second afternoon workshop organised by the
    Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacky University and the staff of the
    Centre for Outdoor Environmental Education, Linkopings University
    (Sweden), will be able to discuss practical issues of prescription
    and realisation of movement activity programme and of fundamental
    orientation in outdoor education and recreation.

    It is our sincere desire to see you all at this prestigious meet. The
    following pages serve to provide you with basic information on the
    conference.

    I look forward to seeing you soon.


    Prof. Frantisek Vaverka
    Dean.
