international society of performance analysis of sport
Wales
The International Society of Performance Analysis of Sport ( ISPAS ), and its
predecessor the International Society of Notational Analysis (ISNAS - 1991), was
founded to improve the international cooperation in the field of Analysis of
Sport. Obviously, the internationalization of this discipline is of great
importance for the exchange of views, the discussion and presentation of current
research results as well as the realization of joint research projects. Until
now the Society has existed quite informally â its main purpose was to ensure
the continuing excellence in its World Conferences in Liverpool (1991), Cardiff
(1993), Turkey (1995), Porto (1998), Cardiff (2001), Belfast (2004) and
Szombathely, Hungary (2006). But now with the rapid growth of Performance
Analysis as a discipline and career, there is a need for the Society to assume
more formal responsibilities. The Society now has the following
purposes/objectives: dissemination of scientific knowledge concerning
