Conference Support: Dose-Response Issues Concerning Physical Activity and Health

Abstract

Since 1985, a team of Canadian exercise scientists have volunteered a considerable amount of time to organize two international conferences that sought to understand the complex interrelationships among physical activity, fitness, and health. This special issue includes the papers, as revised, that were presented and critiqued at the symposium held October 11-15, 2000, at the Hockley Valley Resort, Ontario, Canada. Each author was invited to participate after a rigorous review identified the most prolific and up-to-date researchers on each of the 24 critical topics that had been identified for discussion by a team of international advisors. A description of the consensus process, including the role of the consensus panel, all of whom were senior international scientists outside the field of exercise science, is included in the "Introduction" by Dr. Claude Bouchard, Program Chair.
