Student engagement

We are currently looking for students who would like to send us a video for our twitter “Student Month”. This month, we want to advertise students in the ISEA and the great work that they are doing. If you are interested in getting your personal shout-out on the sports engineering twitter page, please email patrick.mayerhofer@locomotionlab.com, our student representative.

About the video: You can choose any format you’d like for this video. You can be creative and fun! You can talk about the work in your lab being done, about your latest project, or about the project you did with an ISEA grant you might have gotten in the past. Ideal would be if you could show some footage of the equipment being used, the lab itself, or any other cool sports engineering things you have used for your projects. If you’d like, you could also add one reason why you are part of the ISEA community.

We are looking forward to seeing and sharing your great work.

Announcing icSPORTS conference:

The ISEA is proud to be an institutional partner for the 9th international conference on Sports Science Research and Technology Support conference, to be held in Valletta Malta, on 28-29th October, 2021.

Most human activities, including sports, are becoming more and more technological. Engineering in general and Information Technology in particular are important in the support for many activities directly or indirectly related to sport sciences, including improvement of physical activities, sports medicine, biotechnology and nutrition, sports management, and all other application areas in sports. This conference intends to be a meeting point for both academics, sport professionals and practitioners to exchange ideas and develop synergies. Authors are encouraged to highlight the benefits of technology for sports either in general or in a particular application. Ideas regarding sports related issues using technology will arise from this conference. Papers describing case studies, advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques indicating future directions in sports technology are particularly of interest. Papers should describe original work in any of the areas listed below. Accepted complete papers, presented at the conference, will be published in the Proceedings of icSPORTS, with ISBN, both on paper and digitally. All presented papers will be indexed and included in the SCITEPRESS digital library for increased visibility. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. Presentation format can be chosen between oral and poster sessions.

Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:
1. COMPUTER SYSTEMS IN SPORTS
2. HEALTH AND SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY
3. SIGNAL PROCESSING IN HUMAN MOVEMENT
4. SPORT PERFORMANCE AND SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY
