• Special features: Articles about a state-of-the-art topic, debates on controversial issues or coverage of cutting-edge work by a sport and exercise scientist or group in either Sport or Health & Exercise (length: approx. 750-1500 words).
  
  
• Continuing professional development articles in relation to Applied Support, Teaching & Learning, and Research: These might focus on aspects of ‘how to do’ any of the above areas of work, e.g., developing a client base, using technology in your teaching, writing research funding proposals (length: 750-1500 words).

• News update: Brief items (100 to 250 words) about breaking news in sport and exercise science, e.g., new Government policy or funding initiatives, high profile sport and exercise science successes. Be sure to answer the six key questions: who, what, why, when, where and how; include any relevant links.
  
  
• Letters to the Editor: These should be between 100-250 words in length. Normally, these should be submitted electronically to the Editor, e.g., via email as a word attachment.  Letters to the Editor will not normally be acknowledged.

Writing for The SES 
Due to the potential diversity of the readership, please try to keep contributions clear and engaging and aimed at a knowledgeable, although not necessarily expert, reader. When writing articles, try to write a short, tight and punchy first paragraph and a final paragraph that offers a good summary and link to something else in the publication or some future action, initiative or event. More information is available in A Guide to Writing for The Sport and Exercise Scientist.
