CONFERENCE TOPICS
AIM

To provide a forum for the latest research, theoretical and applicative insights, findings and experiences from the vast field of kinesiology, the science of human movement and exercise. A presentation of the latest information is expected from the basic principles to practical applications, especially reports on new scientific breakthroughs such as the human genome investigations, application of new technologies, revised educational concepts and, above all, the urgent need to find more effective and appealing ways of health preservation and well-being enhancement by means of sport and exercise against the ever increasing deteriorating influence of sedentariness and the aggressive hectic modern way of living.
