Welcome

THE 9TH CONFERENCE OF THE BALTIC SPORT SCIENCE SOCIETY

CURRENT ISSUES AND NEW IDEAS IN SPORT SCIENCE

Organizer: Lithuanian Sports University

April 27 – 29, 2016, Kaunas, Lithuania

Lithuanian Sports University hosts the 9th Baltic Sport Science Conference “Current Issues and New Ideas in Sport Science” in Kaunas city.

The world’s major “scientific movement” is currently associated with dissapearance of boundaries between different sciences. Thus, if Sports Science wants to remain among the most advanced sciences, it must integrate into the family of all other sciences. The main challenge for the Sports Science is to combine all the instruments and knowledge of the family of sciences and ask the most profound questions which are important for people of today, as well as with the persistent determination and hope to look for answers to these questions, knowing that these answers will be continuously revised.

I warmly welcome you to our 9th Baltic  Sport Science conference  in Kaunas, Lithuania, in April 2016! I wish you to have a broad and integrated sight as well as reliable and only the highest level of understanding because if there is science, it definitely is, and should be only top-level…  If there is no level, there is no science.

Prof. Dr. Habil. Albertas Skurvydas
