Welcome to our first edition of the ICSSPE Journal of Sport Science and Physical Education, which is a modernised version of the ICSSPE Bulletin. The number of rubrics has slightly changed, duplications of announcements with the ICSSPE news have been avoided and all scientific articles submitted have been peer reviewed. Meetings, conferences or events that you wish to share with everyone through ICSSPE as well as research applications, post-event stories and pictures to allow your organisation to spread your messages should be sent now to icsspe@icsspe.org to be included in the ICSSPE News.
The topic of this edition’s special feature is “Sport and Globalisation”, and Prof. Darlene Kluka (Barry University, Florida, USA) and Prof. Anneliese Goslin (University of Pretoria, South Africa) have successfully collected articles from very different viewpoints. Amongst others Lauri Tarasti looks on “Legal Considerations of Sport and Globalisation”, while Prof. Pak-Kwong Chung researches “Elite Sport Development Considerations”. Dr. Dean Ravizza introduces for example “The uses of sport for children in armed conflict”. In addition to the scientific articles, you will find a webliography on the topic in the Resources section, including links to organisations, print and online publications and open access full-text documents, summarised by Gretchen Ghent.
In the Current Issue section you will find further scientific research articles as well as the ICSSPE and Member’s News. For this edition that means more information on the upcoming ICSSPE meetings in Cuba and the events in which ICSSPE was and will be involved.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to give us your feedback, to submit articles or to make subject suggestions at kkoenen@icsspe.org.
Enjoy reading!
