  • Symposium: oral communications (ex: 5 min introduction, 4 communications of 15 min, 10 min of general discussion for a total duration of 1 h 30 min). In thematic symposia, time management will be left to the discretion of the symposium manager.
  • Oral: Free communication of 15 minutes maximum, allow 12 minutes maximum of presentation followed by 3 minutes of discussion.
  • Poster: communication displayed (1 hour poster sessions with 3 min presentation). A0 size (841 x 1189 mm), page orientation: portrait only.

The posters must be installed the night before or in the morning at the latest before 12:00 (or upon your arrival) on the places provided (a number will be assigned to each poster) and removed by the participants in the evening before 19:00, after the last communication.

TO KNOW :

  1. The written support (slides or poster) of the communications must be written only in English. The presentation is free (French or English).
  2. It will be important to take the time into account, in order to respect the smooth running of all the interventions of the days.
  3. Your communication medium must display the congress logo on the first page. Logo available for download via the following link: https://acaps2021.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/4

ORAL COMMUNICATION

  1. We recommend that you use Microsoft Powerpoint format and choose the "16: 9 widescreen" slide size.
  2. It is advisable not to display anything in the lower right corner. This zone is reserved for a countdown managed by the system.
  3. If your PowerPoint presentation contains videos, it is recommended that you use the wmv or mp4 format. For Libre Office, only the wmv format is supported.
  4. If your PowerPoint presentation contains sound, it is recommended that you use wav or mp3 format.
  5. During the presentation you will only have a 2-button remote control to move forward or backward in your presentation.
  6. Your presentation must be finalized and copied into a folder with the name of the congress on a USB stick or external drive. If your presentation contains videos, consider copying them to the same folder as the presentation.
  7. Drop off during the congress: It is recommended to bring your presentation to the preview room, half a day before the meeting time.

POSTER

  1. All posters should be prepared in advance and brought to the conference by the presenters.
  2. No audiovisual equipment is permitted for poster presentations.

  4. Each poster will have its own display panel identified by a number in the session
  5. Posters can only be hung vertically

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DEPOSIT PHASE

Topics

The proposals for papers must fall as a priority in the field of sports sciences, physical activity and / or human movement in connection if possible with digital technology. They may concern the fields of biomechanics, computer science, neurosciences and motor control, physiology, health, human and social sciences, intervention sciences, engineering sciences or any another field of research relating to physical and sports activities.

The abstract submitted in English must respect the instructions given on the congress website with regard to the submission interface (https://acaps2021.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit). The expertise and any corrections will also be made via the submission interface. The abstract format will be a maximum of 3000 characters (without spaces). Given the current context and the submission period, paper proposals may incorporate preliminary results or correspond to a study protocol. The format of the summary should follow the following categories: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, References (the main ones).

Abstracts will be printed / published faithfully to the validated submitted version. It is therefore important to take the greatest care in the writing and the formal quality of the summary. Non-compliant abstracts cannot be accepted. After expertise, possible corrections and acceptance of the communication proposal, a file of the final version of the summary must be resubmitted on the online interface. It will be published in the multidisciplinary open archive HAL. The first author is supposed to be the author who presents his research and must register at the congress no later than September 6, 2021. An author can only be first author on one abstract.

Three communication possibilities are offered:

  • Symposium: Oral communications (ex: 5 min introduction, 4 communications of 15 min, 10 min of general discussion for a total duration of 1 h 15 min). In thematic symposia, time management will be left to the discretion of the symposium manager. Indicate during the submission in Comments the name of the person in charge and the title of the symposium: individual submission of the people involved in the symposium
  • Oral: free communication (total time: 15 min - 12 min presentation and 3 min discussion)
  • Poster: communications displayed (1 hour poster sessions with 3 min presentation)

For each submission, you will be invited to choose a theme (major) with the possibility of selecting other theme(s) (minor).

NB: Due to the necessarily limited number of symposia, the Scientific Committee may have to ask certain authors to present their proposal(s) in the form of free oral communications. Likewise, certain requests for free oral communications may be considered in the form of poster. These decisions will in no way correspond to a devaluation of the proposed work: the level of scientific requirement will be the same for all communications, whether oral or poster. They will aim to preserve a diversity of oral presentations, and to seek a balance between the different disciplinary fields while giving priority to interdisciplinary work on the theme of the congress. The scientific committee will also be required to organize, synthesize and select the symposia proposals related to the theme of the congress (1 single communication per member of the same research unit or institution; multidisciplinary cross-views; at least 4 communications per symposium) in order to best balance the scientific program.
