CONFERENCE ON THE INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY OF EXERCISE

描述(摘自申请者的摘要)：APS会议关于 “综合运动生物学”将于2000年9月21日至23日在 缅因州波特兰。会议预计将吸引约600人参加 科学家们分享关于运动的综合方面的讨论。 该会议是每四年举行一次的非常成功的系列会议的第三次 (1992年，科罗拉多斯普林斯；1996年，温哥华，BC)，有许多相同的设计 特征，然而随着科学的进步而改变，对特征的渴望 更年轻的调查人员(特别是女性)，以及更多的时间进行无人反对 与会者海报研究演示文稿。与大型、多元化社会形成对比 像实验生物学会议这样的会议，有一个独家关注的 运动，涉及广泛的器官系统和综合水平， 为一大批科学家提供了共同的兴趣，但非常 跨学科技能分享。与世界银行年度会议形成鲜明对比的是 美国运动医学院(ACSM)，将重点放在基础 科学。研讨会强调的主要主题将是与性别有关的 运动差异；年龄对运动的影响及其相互作用 运动和肥胖之间的关系。将举行座谈会，讨论如何适应 锻炼心脏和骨骼肌。所有这些都将重点放在手机上 以及在完整的生理系统的背景下的分子方面。三分之一 受邀的50位演讲者中，有40%是女性。 副教授级别。将有一个强大的学生奖励计划(12 获奖者将根据功绩进行选择)。这次会议的目标是 在基础研究方面提供唯一具有临界性的重点会议 运动生理学，以便不同学科的研究人员可以分享 他们的专业知识。

DESCRIPTION (Taken from the applicant's abstract): The APS Conference on the "Integrative Biology of Exercise," is scheduled for September 21-23, 2000 in Portland, Maine. The Conference is expected to attract approximately 600 scientists to share in discussions about the integrative aspects of exercise. The Conference is the third in a highly successful series held each four years (1992, Colorado Springs; 1996, Vancouver, BC) and has many of the same design features, modified however by scientific progress, the desire to feature younger investigators, (especially females), and by more time for unopposed attendee poster research presentations. In contrast to large, multi-society meetings like the Experimental Biology meeting, there is an exclusive focus on exercise, cast across a wide spectrum of organ systems and integrative levels, providing a critical mass of scientists with a common interest, yet very interdisciplinary skills to share. In contrast to the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), there will be a focus on basic science. Major themes highlighted by symposia will be gender-related differences in exercise; effects of aging on exercise, and the interaction between exercise and obesity. There will be symposia addressing adaptation to exercise in heart and skeletal muscle. All will have heavy emphasis on cellular and molecular aspects in the context of intact physiological systems. One third of the 50 invited speakers are female, and 40% are at the assistant or associate professor level. There will be a strong student awards program (12 awardees to be selected on the basis of merit). This conference has the goal of providing the only focused meeting with critical mass on fundamental research in exercise physiology so that researchers from different disciplines can share their expertise.
