More than 160 delegates from around the globe gathered at the University of Jyvaskyla for the VIII International Symposium of Biomechanics and Medicine in Swimming from June 28-July 2, 1998. Over 130 presentations in various formats (podium, poster, pool demonstration) were given at the symposium. We've chosen a few presentations to highlight in this conference report; among them, keynote addresses by David Costill and Mitsumasa Miyashita. First, Costill's presentation on training intensity and tapering.
