ICSSPE The International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education was founded in Paris, France,<br />
in 1958. The founders recognized a widening gap between the fields of sport, sport science and physical<br />
education and sought to reinforce the link between these areas and develop a more inclusive perspective.<br />
Today the Council presents itself as an international organization with a distinct scientific profile as far as<br />
its goals, structure, membership and working bodies are concerned. It serves as an umbrella organization<br />
for those concerned with scientific advance and the primacy of human values inherent in sport and<br />
physical activity. These combine to improve health and physical well-being by fostering physical activity,<br />
physical education and sport for everyone. As an international organization, ICSSPE endeavors to bridge<br />
the gap between developed and developing countries, and to promote co-operation between scientists and<br />
organizations from countries around the world.<br />
