From 19th to 24th July 2012

In partnership with the IOC, IPC, FIMS and ICSSPE, the ICSEMIS 2012 Convention provides a unique opportunity to experience a truly multi-disciplinary, multi-national and multi-cultural programme. With world leading experts across the entire spectrum of disciplines associated with sport and exercise related studies the scientific programme will provide an exciting and unique opportunity to experience and share with thought leaders in the field examining contemporary theory, practice and the translation of theory to practice.

The scientific programme builds on the theme of the Convention: Inspiring a Learning Legacy, within ten sub-themes including: Athlete Welfare; Eligibility and Inclusion; Elite Performance; Sports Medicine and Injury Prevention; Governance and Policy; International Sports Development and Management; Major Sporting Events; Pedagogy; Physical Activity and Health; and Sport and Faith. Keynotes from world leaders will be inter-weaved with over 100 parallel sessions and 1000′s of free communications (oral and poster) to provide a unique multi-disciplinary insight into the broad spectrum of sport and exercise related studies. The international mix of delegates from across the world will provide a rich cultural experience together with a range of learning opportunities supported by a programme including a science cafe, meet the experts, practical workshops and public engagement programmes.

ICSEMIS 2012 will be hosted in the historic city of Glasgow just days prior to the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games providing a fitting backdrop to this truly unique Convention. We would be honoured to welcome you as a delegate to ICSEMIS 2012, experience the world’s only truly multi-disciplinary congress in sport and exercise, and participate in a once in a life time experience.

The sixth seminar arranged by AREC’s University Sector Development Group

The field of sport and exercise science has burgeoned in recent years, and presents very specific issues for researchers and research supervisors. This seminar focuses on three key areas:

• The increasing reliance upon sports volunteers raises critical ethical questions about recruitment, training, mentoring and retention that are yet to be fully explored by the sports science community. Whilst the beneficial effects of improved social cohesion and the accumulation of social capital have been heralded, little attention has been paid to the volunteers themselves. Richard Cheetham, Lecturer in Sports Coaching and Development, addresses these grass roots issues and the possible implications of over-regulation.

• Extending the limits of human capacity in the interests of competitive sport raises questions about the boundaries of ethical research. Recent innovations in synthetic biology has caught the attention of anti-enhancement groups, but what is the basis and validity of their concerns and what does this mean for ethically grounded research in the sports science field? Dr. Iain Brassington, Lecture in Bioethics and Medical Law, addresses these issues and the implications for legal and regulatory instruments, research ethics committees, codes of scientific conduct, and public involvement.

• Elite level sport is a technologically sophisticated business. Athletes are comprehensively monitored and recorded and various techniques from video to sensor-based measurement systems are used by coaches to enhance training, coaching and performance. However, there is a lack of clarity about ownership, access, disclosure and use of athletes’ data. In this paper, Scott Fleming, Professor of Sport and Leisure Studies addresses these themes and considers what contribution (if any) can be made by medical practice to resolving some of the difficulties.

JOIN US IN LISTENING TO OUR VERY EXPERIENCED SPEAKERS ON THE ABOVE AND IN TAKING FORWARD THE DISCUSSION BY CONTRIBUTING YOUR VIEWS. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN SPORTS SCIENCE RESEARCH ETHICS TO CONSIDER AND DEBATE THESE TOPICAL ISSUES

Course Description:

Taping was initiated over 40 years ago. Taping is not only beneficial for injury prevention e.g. in sport; it can be a very useful, additional tool in the treatment and rehabilitation of many non-sporting injuries.

This course will cover taping the most common injuries you will encounter on the sport field, in private practice and in your outpatient department. There will be time to practice every technique taught. If the course doesn’t cover something delegates were hoping to see, there will be opportunity in an open session at the end of the day.
The course runs 9am - 5pm.

Course Aims
The aims of this course are to provide participants an introduction to taping as an additional technique to treatment of acute and chronic injuries. This course is practical in nature and the participant should feel more confident and equipped with the basic skills to apply taping
to a variety of injuries.

Who Can Attend:

This highly practical course is suitable for physiotherapists, osteopaths, sports therapists and physiotherapy students.
