Welcome Message from the President
On behalf of ISPAH, I would like to welcome you to the ISPAH Congress 2022!
We are excited to finally be able to meet in-person again in the wonderful city of Abu Dhabi. Together with the local host, the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center, we will create an exciting program with ’making every move count’ as main theme.
As usual, the program will consist of workshops, symposia, keynote speakers, parallel sessions, and posters, but we will make sure there is plenty of time to catch-up with colleagues, network, and explore new collaboration options, which is, let’s be honest, the main reason why many of us are longing to attend an in-person congress.
We hope to see you in Abu Dhabi, October 23-26!

President | International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH)
Professor | University of Southern Denmark, Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics | Denmark
