We are pleased to invite you to the 44th International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) Conference, hosted at Loughborough University, UK, from 27th-31st July 2026. ISBS 2026 brings together leading minds and ideas in academic and applied aspects of sports biomechanics to exchange, collaborate, and network in a welcoming and inspiring environment. Whether you’re a researcher, practitioner, educator, or student, there is something for everyone in our keynote lectures, applied sessions with leading practitioners, and week-long social programme. Topics span the science and application of performance and injury-related biomechanics, as well as equipment, technology, advanced methodology, and education. We look forward to seeing you in Loughborough in July 2026! See isbs2026.com for further details.
For the first time, each accepted ISBS abstract will be individually published in a Supplementary Issue of the Sports Biomechanics journal. Whilst the submission and review process will occur within the journal's online system, this move to publish within the journal has been facilitated by some updates to the abstract formatting guidelines, so it is essential that you read the submission instructions before preparing your abstract. Please download the ISBS 2026 abstract template document from the conference website and use that document when preparing your submission. Detailed instructions for the submission process are also given on the website. If you have any queries, please contact info@isbs2026.com
Key dates:
23rd January: Article submission deadline; New Investigator Award deadline
13th April: Author notification
29th May: End of early registration
27th-31st July: Conference dates
