The conference includes keynote speeches, oral presentations and poster presentations.

The academic programs are divided into two categories:

• Basic research
• Applied research

Basic research includes the following topics:

• Theory and practice of applied biomechanics in sports
• Analysis of sports techniques
• Bioelectrical and dynamic measurement and application in sport biomechanics
• Modeling and computer simulation of human movement
• Application of sport biomechanics in orthopedics, injury prevention and rehabilitation
• Methodology of sport biomechanics

Applied research includes the following topics:

• Biomechanics of martial arts
• Biomechanics of aquatic sports
• Biomechanics of gymnastics
