CONGRESS SUBMISSIONS
The Scientific Committee is pleased to invite authors to submit their abstracts for oral, poster presentations, and symposia, to be delivered at the 8th International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH) Congress (October 12-14. 2021) with its motto: “The Wholistic Approach to Health and Wellness Through Physical Activity: Body, Spirit, and Mind.”
The organizers of the 8th ISPAH Congress welcome the submissions of abstracts for original contributions to the field. Research in all topics related to physical activity, exercise, health, wellness, fitness, sports, recreation, etc. are welcomed. Key thematic areas have been provided below for you to aid in the grouping of topics and the selection of presentation types and times. Please select the relevant area with your submission.
Please note that owing to the COVID-19 pandemic that our Congress has been changed to a hybrid model with opportunities for in-person and virtual attendance. All submissions will be treated the same. Upon acceptance of your work, a member of the Scientific Committee will contact you to determine whether or not you will be attending in-person or virtually. Sessions will be organized to allow for the widespread participation of delegates from around the world considering different time zones.
Please make sure that you have signed into our website to login as a user so that you can participate as an author and/or reviewer. Further details on this process are available on the Guidelines for Submissions page on this website.
The consideration of Symposia and Workshops will begin on November 30, 2019. We will begin reviewing Abstracts formally by January 27, 2020. Please watch our website and our social media channels for further details.
