Development
The first international sports science associations already existed before World War I. In the early days, it was mainly sports physicians who contributed to the science of sport. In 1956, Fritz Duras organised a scientific congress on the occasion of the Summer Olympics, which attracted 350 participants from all continents. They decided to found a world association of sports science and commissioned Duras to prepare it. The Council was then founded in Paris in 1958 with the support of UNESCO.The German-Australian sports physician of Jewish origin Duras, who had to emigrate to Australia in 1937, thus became the founding president. Since then, the organisation had been registered with UNESCO before the legal seat was moved to Berlin in 2009. Well-known sport officials and scientists subsequently served as presidents, such as Nobel Peace Prize winner Philip Noel-Baker, the former world-class athlete Sir Roger Bannister and the Director of the Federal Institute of Sports Science, Germany, Dr August Kirsch. The current President is Dr Uri Schaefer; Professor Dr Gudrun Doll-Tepper is Honorary President. At present, 171 organisations and institutions from more than 60 countries are members of ICSSPE.
Structure
The highest body of ICSSPE is the General Assembly, which is held every two years. The Executive Board, elected by the General Assembly, serves for a period of four years. It consists of a President, three Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer and six further members. The office is located in Germany (Friesenhaus I, Hans-Braun-Straße 14053 Berlin). Patrick Stolpmann has been the managing director since 2023
