The Sport and Exercise Scientist is the interactive, full-colour magazine-style newsletter for the Association. Published quarterly, it is packed with essential news of BASES activities, such as workshops and national conferences, reports from key post-holders on developments within BASES, and updates on the major issues that affect members.

In each issue, leading specialists contribute to the Special Feature, which focuses on aspects of the sport and exercise sciences that impact on members’ working lives. Topics so far have included: Careers; The Young Person; Research in the Elderly; Endocrine Responses to Exercise; Disability and Exercise; Mental Health; and Psychological Well-Being.

The editorial programme for 2004 promises to be the most enterprising yet as The Sport and Exercise Scientist follows the progress of our Olympic and Paralympic squads in their run up to the Games, and the role that BASES members are playing in their bid for gold.

The Sport and Exercise Scientist encourages members to contribute news, views and articles that will serve to promote excellence in the sport and exercise sciences by encouraging best practice.
