DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to seek support for an APS Conference on the "Integrative Biology of Exercise V," scheduled for September 24-27, 2008 in Hilton Head, South Carolina. This Conference is designed to bring together scientists from all over the world who have been involved in research or have research interest in the broad area of exercise physiology. It represents the fifth in a series of meetings that have been sponsored by the American Physiological Society every four years. The scientific program has been organized based upon two features that have proven extremely successful in previous meetings: 1) a strong scientific program with participant interaction, and 2) an emphasis on emerging research performed by young investigators. The program focuses on new insights developed since the previous meeting four years ago, focusing on recent important advancements in the traditional areas of interest in exercise (e.g., metabolic control, cell signaling; satellite/stem cells biology; hypertrophy; vascular adaptations) as well as on significant new developments in emerging areas of science that have great relevance to investigators interested in exercise (e.g., mechanical signal transduction; AMPK; cytokines). We continue this focus, but not without inclusion of other important research aspects of keen interest to the exercise community. In addition, involvement of promising young investigators has created an enthusiastic forum for celebrating the creativity and energy of emerging scientists. The fundamental goal of the Conference is to provide an in- depth understanding of exercise physiology and interdisciplinary efforts to assess its impact on the systems of the body. The specific aims of this proposal include: 1) to convene an internationally recognized and interdisciplinary group of investigators to an APS Conference focusing on the use of integrative approaches for the study of exercise involving physiology, molecular biology, and genetics; 2) to promote the wide-spread participation of young scientists in this Conference, with an emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities, through the establishment of a travel award program; and 3) to interest new investigators and students in pursuing research opportunities to understand the integrative biology of exercise and its relation to gender and aging. This project is designed to bring together scientists from all over the world who have been involved in research or have research interest in the broad area of exercise physiology. The scientific program is designed to provide a strong scientific program with participant interaction and emphasize emerging research performed by young investigators. The participants will likely focus on recent important advancements in the traditional areas of interest in exercise (e.g., metabolic control, cell signaling; satellite/stem cells biology; hypertrophy; vascular adaptations) as well as on significant new developments in emerging areas of science that have great relevance to investigators interested in exercise (e.g., mechanical signal transduction; AMPK; cytokines). The goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of exercise physiology and interdisciplinary efforts to assess its impact on the systems of the body. In addition, the goal is to outline directions for future work and to interest new investigators and students in pursuing research opportunities to understand the integrative biology of exercise and its relation to gender and aging.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是寻求对APS会议的支持，该会议定于2008年9月24日至27日在南卡罗来纳州的希尔顿海德举行。本次会议旨在汇集来自世界各地的科学家，他们参与了运动生理学的研究或对运动生理学的广泛领域感兴趣。这是美国生理学会每四年主办的一系列会议中的第五次。科学计划的组织基于两个在以前的会议上证明非常成功的特点：1）与参与者互动的强大科学计划，以及2）强调年轻研究人员进行的新兴研究。该计划的重点是自四年前上次会议以来发展的新见解，重点是最近在运动感兴趣的传统领域的重要进展（例如，代谢控制、细胞信号传导;卫星/干细胞生物学;肥大;血管适应性）以及与对运动感兴趣的研究者有很大关系的新兴科学领域的重大新发展（例如，机械信号转导; AMPK;细胞因子）。我们继续这一重点，但不是没有列入其他重要的研究方面的浓厚兴趣的运动社区。此外，有前途的年轻研究人员的参与为庆祝新兴科学家的创造力和能量创造了一个热情的论坛。会议的基本目标是提供对运动生理学的深入理解和跨学科的努力，以评估其对身体系统的影响。该提案的具体目标包括：1）召集国际公认的跨学科研究人员小组参加APS会议，重点是使用综合方法研究涉及生理学，分子生物学和遗传学的运动;（2）促进青年科学家广泛参加这次会议，重点是妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体，通过建立旅行奖励计划;和3）在追求研究机会，了解运动的综合生物学及其与性别和衰老的关系感兴趣的新的调查人员和学生。该项目旨在汇集来自世界各地的科学家，他们参与研究或对运动生理学的广泛领域感兴趣。该科学计划旨在提供一个强大的科学计划与参与者的互动，并强调由年轻的研究人员进行新兴的研究。与会者可能会集中在最近的重要进展，在传统领域的利益行使（例如，代谢控制、细胞信号传导;卫星/干细胞生物学;肥大;血管适应性）以及与对运动感兴趣的研究者有很大关系的新兴科学领域的重大新发展（例如，机械信号转导; AMPK;细胞因子）。其目标是提供运动生理学和跨学科的努力，以评估其对身体系统的影响的深入了解。此外，我们的目标是概述未来工作的方向，并在追求研究机会，以了解运动的综合生物学及其与性别和衰老的关系感兴趣的新的调查人员和学生。
