28th ISBS Conference-Marquette Michigan, USA The 28 th Conference o f t he I nternational S ociety of Biomechanics in Sports was held from July 19th to the 23rd on t he c ampus of N orthern M ichigan University in M arquette, M ichigan, USA. Of t he 245 de legates f rom 27 c ountries, 94 w ere ne w ISBS members. F ifteen co rporate ex hibitors demonstrated their wares. There were 250 papers submitted with 217 accepted. Ultimately 89 O ral, 106 po sters, a nd e ight presentations f rom a thematic ses sion on P aralympics w ere m ade a t ISBS 2010.

In addition, there were eight keynote pa pers a nd 15 a pplied s ession pa pers from t he areas o f N ordic skiing, O lympic weightlifting, motion analysis, feedback to athletes, w riting an d r eviewing sci entific p apers, and gymnastics. As well as the regular meeting, a Preconference S ymposium on T eaching Biomechanics w as c oordinated b y P am R ussell and attended by 85 delegates. Those attending the Symposium r eceived t eaching s uggestions for topics r anging f rom onl ine t eaching a nd us ing social n etworks to novel lab t echniques an d capstone experiences. Selected presentations from the Symposium can be accessed at http://webb.nmu.edu/ISBS/SiteSections/AboutTheConference/NASPESymposium.shtml.
On the social side of things, those attending ISBS 2010 were able to experience the beauty of the Northwoods in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Activities included h ikes that g ave b reathtaking views of Lake Superior from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain or a round P resque Isle ( Marquette’s
lovely i sland p ark). O thers ch ose a c anoe t rip down the Autrain River or r ock c limbing. Spirits were on ly m ildly da mpened by a br ief s hower during the activities. Due to some large waves the originally s cheduled ka yak e xcursion on L ake Superior was postponed to the next evening when those who participated were treated to calm water and a simultaneous gorgeous sunset and moonrise over the lake.

Dr. B arry B ates ( University o f O regon) r eceived the Geoffrey Dyson Award. The Dyson is the highest award g iven by the I nternational Society of Biomechanics in Sports and recognizes sport scientists who, throughout t heir professional careers, bridge the gap between biomechanics research and practice in sport. Dr. Bates presented a l ecture en titled “Accommodating S trategies f or Preventing Chronic Lower Extremity Injuries.”
At t he c losing ba nquet it w as a nnounced that Professor Youlian Hong (Chinese U niversity of Hong K ong) will be receiving the aw ard at the 2011 ISBS conference in P orto Portugal. The Awards C ommittee welcomes your nom inations for this prestigious award.
Nine ISBS members received the Fellow Award: Dr. Michiyoshi A e, D r. R afael B ahamonde, D r. Angus B urnett, D r. Dr ew Ha rrison, Dr. P atria Hume, Dr. Randal Jensen, Dr. David Kerwin, Dr. Mario Lamontagne, and Dr. Cassie Wilson.
Also at the closing banquet, six young investigators were recognized for their outstanding r esearch in sports b iomechanics with Hans Gros New Investigators Awards (NIA). New investigator awards for oral presentations/papers were Anne Richter,Department of Sports and Sports Science Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Julien Chardonnens (Lausanne, Switzerland), and Gregor Kuntze (University of Wasles Institute Cardiff). New investigator awsrds for poster presentations/papers were Amanda Silvatti (University of Campinas), Jody Riskowski (University of Texas, El Paso), and Tyler VanderZanden (Marquette University).

Secretary General ReportThe y ear 2009-10 was a busy year. Along with writing and responding to the usual email t raffic, several issues w ere p resented t hat r equired investigation into past records and written reports. The ISBS Election 2010 was a main focus of the year. A n on -line su rvey sy stem, S urveyGizmo, was adapted to handle the election. Although the program ha s a p ronounced l earning c urve, t he results were satisfying. A N ominating Committee w as a ppointed a nd included: John Ostarello, Secretary General – U.S.A. Youlian Hong, Past President- China Ross Anderson, Member - Ireland Hae-Dong Lee, Member – South Korea The Committee s olicited nominations for the various O fficer po sitions a nd t he B oard o f Directors. The C ommittee w as ab le to recruit two c andidates f or two o f f our O fficer pos itions and 12 candidates t o v ie f or t he 10 B oard of Directors positions. As a result, the election was more competitive than it has been in the past. The election process had some problems, although they w ere r elatively sm all i n n umber. A f ew members di d not r eceive a n i nvitation t o v ote
because t heir dues were not current. Others did not r eceive an i nvitation b ecause their em ail addresses w ere n ot updated and still others had their invitations filtered b y th eir in stitution’s firewall. The Treasurer, M anfred Vieten, a nd I w orked as efficiently as possible to ad dress l ast m inute attempts by members to pay the current dues and thus b e eligible to v ote. Although these problems required extra effort, it is a tribute to the Society t hat m embers w ere i nterested en ough t o make an effort to be in good standing so that they could participate in the election. I in vestigated t he p roblem o f f iltering by th e various i nstitutions a nd t here doe s not a ppear t o be anything that ISBS can do. Institutions have an a rray o f policies so i t is i n the h ands o f each member to assure that their ISBS communications are not filtered. The number of responses and the response rate for the 201 0 e lection w as g reater t han a ny pr evious election i n I SBS hi story. T he r esults a re summarized below: 263 invitations to vote were sent to members. 103 members returned completed ballots 39% - the response rate.

Pre- and Post-Conference Meeting Summary This c olumn pr esents concise highlights of t he reports and decisions of the ISBS Officers at t he Pre- and Post-Conference Meetings in Marquette, Michigan. Official minutes are available from the Secretary-General John Ostarello. •Jing Li reported that a survey of the membership was ov erwhelming i n favor of r etaining t he current ISBS l ogo ( 51 o f 71 r esponses) over seeking new designs. •Manfred Vieten r eported on the strong status of the f inances of t he s ociety, w ith r evenue o f approximately 19 t housand Euro, e xpenses of 8 thousand Euro, and savings of 76 t housand Euro. The O fficers d iscussed c ontinued expansion of support f or student travel a nd p articipation a t ISBS conferences with society funds. This year 6 students received ISBS travel grant funds from 27 applications.
•Young-Hoo K won r eported on s ubstantial increases in t he impact factor and t he number of submissions for the journal Sports Biomechanics. The 2009 acceptance rate for the journal was 33% and h e r ecommended t hat an a ssociate ed itor structure be adopted to handle the larger numbers of p apers being s ubmitted. The of ficers v oted t o support this request a nd c harged the V P o f Publications to get a committee together to select three associate editors for the journal. •The officers voted to accept an offer to index and link t o ou r I SBS pr oceedings archive from EBSCO publ ishing. T he i ndexing a nd l inking provides greater exposure to proceedings papers and s hould p rovide some l imited royalties f rom some EBSCO client usage. •The of ficers voted to extend offers to host upcoming ISBS conferences t o two ex cellent proposals: Melbourne in 2012 and Taipei in 2013.
