WFATT2019

We are calling for research abstracts for the World Federation of Athletic Training & Therapy (WFATT) 2019 World Congress Tokyo. We invite abstracts in themes of “Athletic Training” and “Exercise for Total Health”. 

 

There are two categories of abstract submissions; (1) peer reviewed track abstract and (2) non- peer reviewed track abstract submissions. Submissions must be made via email (please download and review “Abstract Submission Guidelines” below). 

 

1. Peer reviewed track: abstracts must be an original research or original case study. Accepted abstracts will be published in the supplemental issue of the Journal of Athletic Training. 

2. Non-peer reviewed track: non-original research or non-original case study (i.e. a research or case study that has been presented and/or published previously) may be submitted. Non-peer review track abstracts will be presented only for the purpose of information or knowledge exchanges among participants in the congress. Abstracts in this track will not be published in the supplemental issue of the Journal of Athletic Training. If the research has been presented and/or published previously, the work must be clearly cited as previous work. 

 

The official language at the conference is English. All abstracts must be submitted in English.
