The tentative schedule for the 1998 Annual Meeting of the American College
of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has been released. Sessions of principal
interest to the readers of this list are indicated at the conclusion of
this message.
I would like to highlight the Biomechanics Interest Group Meeting on
Thursday, June 4, 1998 to individuals planning on attending the
conference. At this meeting, we will be planning the biomechanics content
for the 1999 ACSM Meeting (Seattle, WA June 2-5, 1999). If you have ideas
regarding symposia, colloquia, clinical lectures, thematic posters or
other types of sessions of interest to biomechanists and the ACSM
membership, please don't be shy! Put your ideas into action and help us
plan the content for the 1999 meeting. If there is a session you would
like to create or see developed, bring your ideas (including topics and
potential speakers) to the Interest Group Meeting. If you have questions
or would like to discuss your ideas in advance, feel free to contact
either Jesus Dapena (dapena@valeri.hper.indiana.edu) or myself
(mfeltner@pepperdine.edu).
The 1998 ACSM conference will be held June 3-6, 1998 in Orlando, Florida.
The deadline for preregistration is 3/15/98.
Further information regarding the conference and registration can be
obtained from the ACSM website: http://www.acsm.org/sportsmed
