摘要:This report on the 20th anniversary annual conference of the European College of Sport Science focuses on presentations relevant to non-athletic populations. A tribute to a giant in exercise science: Bengt Saltin's research on optimizing muscular performance and health, mitochondrial biogenesis, interdisciplinary physical activity, lifelong endurance training, vascular function during exercise. Physical activity, learning and memory: neurophysiological and sociological aspects of motor learning and memory; neurotrophic factors and exercise. Aging and body functioning: cellular mechanisms and sarcopenia ; strength declines during aging; assessment of muscle protein synthesis; brain health; well-being; restricted energy intake; neurodegenerative disorders; inactivity; pharmaceutical drug development. Physical activity promotion – older adults: Physical activity and cardiovascular disease; mobility and leukocyte telomere length; high-intensity interval training; exercise promotion programs; double concentric multi-joint exercise; muscle fat infiltration. Physical activity promotion – children: school-based interventions; physical activity and fitness assessment; maximal oxygen uptake assessment; obesity prevention; inflammation. Neuromuscular performance during lifespan: visco -elasticity and posture; tendon adaptations; static and dynamic postural control; explosive strength assessment and adaptations; balance training and adaptations; motor learning and adaptations. Team sports for health : recreational and motivational aspects of football; floorball; football fans and training; floorball in the elderly. Injury prevention: multifactorial injury prevention; shoes and motion control; dynamic stabilization and functional strengthening. Physical activity and cognitive function: physical activity, exercise and memory; brain function and motor learning; cognitive control and motor coordination in the elderly; neuroplasticity, memory and motor skill acquisition. Occupational health promotion: cost-effectiveness; occupational activity assessment; tailoring of interventions; multilevel interventions. Obesity, body composition and metabolism: whole body cryostimulation and anti-inflammation; irisin and low temperatures; healthy weight interventions; high-intensity training and glucose uptake
