The conference will provide a platform for attendees to share their research and practical experiences, collaborate with like-minded colleagues, and learn about the latest developments in the field of anthropometry. From experts in the field, to emerging practitioners and scientists, we look forward to welcoming you all at the ISAK Conference 2024 on Kinanthropometry, where we can embrace and share our passion for anthropometry, and foster the collective spirit of the ISAK network.

Programme and speakers

The theme of our ISAK Conference 2024 is ‘Theory to Practice’, which aims to bridge the gap between research and real-world application. Specific details are still being finalised, however our three-day programme will include keynotes, invited speakers, and discussion panels and in addition to free communications sessions. Anticipated topics include:

considerations working in weight-making sports
challenges of working in applied sports settings
large scale anthropometric surveys in India, Indonesia and Senegal
anthropometric assessment in elite sport
best practice recommendations – more than just a number?

We aim to finalise the conference programme by the end of 2023, and release a call for abstracts by mid January 2024 (closing mid March 2024).
