24-27 July 2023, Athens Greece
Organized by the Sport, Exercise, & Kinesiology Unit of ATINER
The Sport, Exercise, & Kinesiology Unit of ATINER will hold a Special Session on “HEART: Health, Exercise, Art” as part of the 19th Annual International Conference on Sport & Exercise Science, 24-27 July 2023, Athens Greece.
In this special session, we welcome scholarly papers and presentations related to current trends in the field of Kinesiology, including different types of movement (e.g., physical activity, exercise, sports, dance and physical theater) and their relation to health, embodiment, and wisdom in decision making (e.g., phronesis) regarding how to live the good life. Embodied, holistic and expressive action will be explored within different exercise settings, including sports, recreation, rehabilitation, skill acquisition and learning, dance, and physical theater. Interdisciplinary, scholarly work (e.g., data-based research, concept-based papers, reviews, and commentaries) that can be applicable to a variety of populations, such as children and adolescents, adults, and older adults of different cultural backgrounds and ability levels is highly encouraged.
You may participate as, presenter of one paper or observer. Papers form this session will be considered in a Special Issue of the Athens Journal of Sports.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized, including a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.
