Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education Department of Physical Education and Sport under the Governement of the Republic of Lithuania Lithuanian National Olympic Committee Dear Colleagues,
We have a great pleasure to invite you to the II International Conference
“Current Issues and New Ideas in Sport Science”, to be held
in Kaunas on 16-17 October 2008.
One of the greatest challenges of contemporary science is not only
to increase the amount of publicly available scientific information
but also to make this information transparent and comprehensible. Only
comprehensible information is likely to be applied by people from outside
the scientific community. Thus the mission of sport science is to increase
the community awareness about health enhancement, athlete training,
rehabilitation, recreation, and tourism. To accomplish this mission,
sport scientists ought to apply research methods and findings from other
sciences like humanities, social, technological and natural sciences.
On behalf of the conference organizers, we wish you a pleasant and
rewarding stay.
We look forward to welcoming you in Kaunas.
Prof. Dr. Habil. Albertas Skurvydas

Kaunas is the second largest city in Lithuania with a population of
over 400.000. The city is situated in the centre of Lithuania at the
confluence of two longest Lithuanian rivers the Nemunas and the Neris.
It is an important industrial, scientific and cultural centre of Lithuania
as well as a university town. The city, first mentioned in the historical
sources in 1361, has a long and rich history with many ups and downs:
a medieval trading centre, an important stronghold against the attack
of the Crusaders, the provisional capital of Lithuania between the World
Wars, and the symbol of Lithuania’s statehood during the Soviet
occupation.
Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education. The origin of the Lithuanian
Academy of Physical Education (LAPE) is traced to 1934 when the Higher
Courses of Physical Education (HCPE) were set up in Kaunas offering
a higher education degree. The HCPE were founded with the idea to integrate
subjects like physical exercise and military training so that the graduates
would be able to teach these subjects in Lithuanian gymnasiums. After
the HCPE were closed in 1938, role of training physical education teachers
and military training officers was taken by the Department of Physical
Education established at Vytautas Magnus University. As an independent
institution, the Lithuanian National Institute of Physical Education
was founded in 1945 and six years ago the Institute was renamed into
the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education. From its very beginning
LAPE remains an important centre of sports science and a fosterer of
physical education and sports values and traditions in Lithuania.
Aim of the conference
The aim of the conference is to discuss the most recent advancements
in the area of sport, physical education and health education in the
context of current global processes.
