Author Information
The International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE) is the world's foremost international organisation representing sport, sport science and physical education. The council was originally created in 1958 and has undergone several developments and changes over the past 50 years. It is a world leader in supporting international congresses and scientific meetings concerned with sport science and physical education; it is also an advocate for fair play and ethics in sport. It works directly through relationships with influential organisations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO); the United Nations Office of Sport for Development and Peace and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The council serves as an international organisation concerned with the promotion and dissemination of results and findings in the field of sport science and their practical application in cultural and educational contexts.
