Conference Name: International Congress on Sports Science Research and Technology Support (icSPORTS 2013)Venue: Vilamoura, Algarve, PortugalEvent Date: 19-21 September, 2013ScopeIn the XXI century most human activities, including sports, are becoming more and more technological. Engineering in general and Information Technology in particular are becoming an important support for many activities directly or indirectly related to sports science, including improvement of physical activities, sports medicine, biotechnology and nutrition, sports management, and all imaginable application areas in sports. This conference intends to be a meeting point of both academics and practitioners, in order to exchange ideas and developed synergies.Authors should highlight the benefits of any kind of technology for sports either in general of regarding a particular case of application. Ideas on how to identify and approach sports issues using technology will arise from the conference.

Papers should describe original work in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of icSPORTS, with ISBN, both on paper and digital support. All presented papers will be indexed and included in the SCITEPRESS digital library for increased visibility.Congress Topics    Biosignals and Biodevices Engineering    Sports Biomechanics    Neuromuscular Physiology    Motor Control and Coordination    Motor Learning    Gait and Posture    Applied Physiology and Exercise    Physical education and sports for handicapped    Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation    Sports Medicine    Injury prevention    Health and Fitness    Training and Testing    Coaching    Sports Psychology    Sport Statistics and Analyses    Decision Support Systems    Multimedia and Information Technology    Computer Supported Training    Simulation and Mathematical ModelingImportant DatesCongress Date: 19 - 21 September, 2013Extended Abstract Submission and Full Paper Submission: April 24, 2013Authors Notification: June 24, 2013Final Paper Submission and Registration: July 15, 2013icSPORTS SecretariatAddress: Av.
