The Convention theme is "Sport Sciences and Harmonious Society in the 21st Century". Sport Sciences make great contribution to people's health benefits and they help people to serve the society with better physical and physiological health so people could enjoy the peaceful, stable, prosperous, social and civilized life from sport sciences. The Convention will provide a unique opportunity for experts in all areas of sports science, sports medicine, and physical education to exchange the latest scientific research and best practice solutions. The program will enable Chinese scholars and practitioners to share their knowledge with the international community, with the opportunity for long-term interaction and collaboration. China boasts almost one quarter of the world's population and is considered an emerging super power in technology, IT development and sports performance. With eyes focused on the Beijing Olympics, the science of elite performance at the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be a feature of the program, together with a range of topics which consider physical activity at all levels and ages and in community, school and clinical settings. A special feature of this convention will be more than 30 symposia, which will be designed around contemporary issues involving representatives from various disciplines and organisations working within an interdisciplinary framework. For example, symposia involving experts in able-bodied sports and athletes with a disability will expand into new and important areas which extend beyond performance at the elite level. Opportunities to discuss Western and traditional Chinese medicine practices in health promotion and rehabilitation and the cultural and psycho-social dimensions of sport and physical activity will also be featured.
