Biomechanics Interest Group (BIG)
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
Dear colleagues,
ACSM 2010 annual meeting will be held next summer (June 2-5) in Baltimore
Maryland, USA. You are invited to submit a session proposal. I have attached
ACSM session definitions at the end of this message. There are seven
different session types in two categories. BIG members have been successful
in the past in proposing for different session types. You do not have to be
an ACSM member to submit or participate in a session.
The submission deadline for ACSM is June 20, 2009. Please send your
submission to me (lli3@lsu.edu) before May 15, 2009. The BIG membership will
discuss these proposals during our business meeting on May 28 in Seattle.
The BIG executive committee will then rank and recommend them to ACSM
program committee. ACSM program committee will make the final selection.
Please check ACSM website for submission requirements.
Sincerely yours,
Li Li, Ph.D. FACSM

1. Sessions with a 2-hour format:
Current Issue - Issues for discussion that are in the forefront of the ACSM
membership. Current issues include 3 - 4 speakers with time allotted for an
introduction and overview and overall discussion.
Special Event - Sessions of special interest to ACSM members that reach a
broader audience. Special events include 3 - 4 speakers with time allotted
for an introduction and overview and overall discussion.
Symposium - Indepth, scientific and state-of-the-art lectures in important
areas of research. Symposia include 3 - 4 speakers with time allotted for an
introduction and overview and overall discussion.
2. Sessions with a 50 minute format:
Clinical Colloquium - Focuses on an emerging or controversial area of
clinical practice. This session includes a moderator and two speakers.
Clinical Lecture - Focuses on a specific clinical area.
Colloquium - An interactive discussion on a topic or issue in sports
medicine and exercise science. Colloquiums are informal presentations that
give the attendees a chance to "meet the expert".
Conversational Forum - Issues for discussion by considering differing views,
involving expert discussants and a host.
Tutorial Lecture - A critical review and analysis of the current state of
knowledge in a field. The lecture should familiarize attendees with the
basics of a subject and progress to current issues, question, problems, and
the frontier of knowledge.
