THE CHALLENGE OF COMMUNICATING CONCEPT TO COACHES BY COMPUTER

##article.abstract##

It gives me a great deal of pleasure to participate in the opening session of this ISBS conference. I recall a similar experience about 10 years ago when the conference was held in San Diego. On that occasion, I had chosen a similar topic dealing with the issue of information interchange between sport biomechanics researchers and coaches. As is evident from the title of my presentation for this conference, I am still concerned with that general issue. At this point in time, however, with the improvements in technology over the intervening period, I believe it is appropriate for us to consider accepting the challenge of communicating with coaches by computer.
