Applications.
The New Investigator Awards are intended to recognize new investigators who, as a consequence of their educational background/training and quality of initial independent research productivity, have begun and are likely to continue to make a significant contribution to knowledge in basic or clinical exercise science or sports medicine.
This award will be presented to the student with the most outstanding research project of the year. An important consideration for the award is the extent of the student's participation in the project.
The Visiting Scholar Award is given to investigators who need further experience as independent researchers. The purpose of the award is to provide financial support for an investigator to visit a clinic or laboratory of his/her choice to learn new and current techniques in exercise and sports medicine.

between health and physical exercise and the early history of the
physiology of exercise. Most of the material was written in English
and was published in
The references were selected from a large number of published material and are by no means a complete listing. The listings are divided into two distinct reference databases. One, titled "Health and Physical Activity", includes 3,131 separate citations to literature. The second, titled "Exercise Physiology", includes 223 references from the literature.
