On 28 April 1990 a new organization, Association of Sport Kinetics (IASK ), was founded at a international scientific conference: “Movement coordination in sport” in Rogi near Gorzów (Poland).
Prof. Dr. hab. Włodzimierz Starosta (Poland) was elected the first president of the new scientific organization, and Prof. Dr. Reinhard Daugs (West Germany) and Prof. Dr. hab. Peter Hirtz (East Germany - DDR) became vice- presidents. Until now, after 25 years organised more than 80 international scienfics conferences, or patronized more than fifty five international scientific conferences. At first, IASK focused its activity on the territory of post-communist countries. It was organized cyclical 12 “Sport Kinetics” international scientific conferences in different countries: Rogi/Gorzów (Poland, 1990), Olomouc (Czechosłovakia, 1991), Poznań (Poland, 1993), Praha (Czech Republik, 1995), Magdeburg (Germany, 1997), Lubljana (Slovenia, 1999), Tartu (Estonia, 2001), Rydzyna (Poland, 2003), Rimini (Italy, 2005), Belgrade (Serbia, 2007), Halkidiki (Greece, 2009), Krakow (Poland, 2011).
Now, it is an association bringing together more than 460 members from 59 countries all over the world. Not only do we desire to organize cyclical conferences “Sport Kinetics” and scientific congresses, but also to establish regular information and concept exchange in the large, now a family of people; the people who devote their lives to scientific research on human movement behaviour and physical fitness. We seek scholars of more and more recent disciplines and from various parts of the world to join our activity. Since 1996 IASK has been the membership of International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education.
The honorary members of IASK are world famous scientists professor: Gunter Schnabel (Germany), Stanislav Ćelikovski (Czechoslovakia), Levan Tschaidze (Georgia – Russia), Hermann Rieder (Germany), Richard Schmidt (USA) , Roman Trześniowski (Poland), Friedrich Fetz (Austria), Han Kemper (The Netherlands), Robert Malina (USA), Vladimir Zatsiorski (Russia-USA), Thomas Reilly (Great Britain), Paavo Komi (Finland), James Skinner (USA), Napoleon Wolański (Poland), Josif Feigenberg (Russia – Israel), Vassilis Klissouras (Greece), Peter Hirtz (Germany).
During the General Meeting of IASK of 24 September 2011 in Cracow (Poland) new Presidium was chosen for period 2011-2013: W. Starosta (Poland) – President; A. Cicchella (Italy), C. Gevat (Romania), B. Jevtić (Serbia), W. Osiński (Poland)- vice- presidents; General Secretary – J. Konarski (Poland); Treaser – K. Anioł-Strzyżewska (Poland); L. Georgescu (Romania), B. Jośt (Slovenia), C. Peixoto (Portugal),T. Skoblikova (Russia) –members. Control Commission: R. Szeklicki (Poland) – chairman, T. Socha (Poland), V. Psalman (Slovakia)–members.
The aim of the Association will be creating appropriate conditions for further development of human movement science and sport kinetics as a scientific discipline which constitutes a fundamental element in sciences related to sport. IASK will be striving at interdisciplinary cooperation of scientists from numerous related disciplines of science and elementary sciences.The aim of the association is to promote and further develop various branches of scientific research focusing on how to get to know human movement behaviour and physical fitness better. The association concentrates on the problems of movement, physical and health development of children and the young, as well as of adults and the elderly. IASK is specifically interested in movement and physical fitness of sportsmen going in for various disciplines. This in particular, requires us to encourage regular discussions on general, theoretical conception, specific terminology and methods of diagnosing movement development, as well as to study and disseminate physical activity patterns for people at various age. Working towards these goals, the association aims at co-operation and information exchange, and provides conditions for scientific, interdisciplinary discussions among researchers of various branches of basic and applied science.
IASK also officially patronizes the publishing in English of three Journals:
From IASK establish was organized special library in which in year 1990 – 2011 was published 37 monographs in 5 languages of different scientific problems connected with human movement science and specially with sport kinesiology.
