Online Symposium - Recordings Now Available to Members

Our 5th Online Symposium took place online on 8th April 2025, free to ISBS members, with a revamped schedule

This year's symposium focused on providing free opportunities for upskilling within our discipline. The single-day event was inspired by the success of recent pre-conference workshops at the annual conferences and includesdworkshops and presentations on the latest in markerless motion capture, functional data analysis, and applied biomechanics within elite sport. The symposium also featured an update from the ISBS 2025 annual conference team with opportunity for Q&A.

All session recordings are now free and available to all ISBS members.

To view the recordings, individuals will need to renew their ISBS membership for 2025 or join the society.  To check your membership status, login online and select the “Member Profile” button. Then click on the “Subscription History” button to confirm your membership status; and if necessary, renew your membership. 

Full session recordings are available here (after signing in).

International Society of Biomechanics in Sports

Primary Purposes

  • To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas for sports biomechanics researchers, coaches and teachers.
  • To bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners.
  • To gather and disseminate information and materials on biomechanics in sports.

Participants

The International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) is composed of members from all over the world with a common desire to study and understand human movement, especially as it relates to applied sports biomechanics. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds including exercise science, education, engineering, computer science, rehabilitation and medicine to name a few.

Origin

The first full scale conference of ISBS was held June 20-25, 1982, in San Diego, California, with 123 participants. ISBS initiated a constitution on May 7, 1983, with subsequent constitutional revisions over time to suit the changing needs of the Society. Some of the first field-based research activities of ISBS were at the 1976 Olympic Games and 1978 Commonwealth Games, with numerous other research projects completed since that time. Additional activities of ISBS and its members include seminars, clinics, exhibits, technical lectures, newsletters, annual conferences and published proceedings. For a more detailed history of ISBS, please see this conference article by John Ostarello.

Annual Conference

The annual conference of the ISBS family are conducted in a friendly atmosphere, which favors and encourages wide participation. This ISBS congeniality is unique and dear to its members. Past conferences have been held in a variety of nations across multiple continents. The quality of research presented and materials produced are at the cutting edge of knowledge and technology. In addition to oral and poster research presentations select sport science topics are covered in depth each year through special lectures. In addition, a special feature includes the Geoffrey H.G. Dyson lecture presented by an outstanding scientist in sports biomechanics. A number of other awards and recognitions are given each year including the New Investigator Award. Other conference features enjoyed by all include exhibits, equipment demonstrations, organized sightseeing trips, and the closing banquet.
