Dear Valued Member of the ECSS Sport Science Community, Welcome to the 26th ECSS Annual Congress, 2021! Over the last year, the global COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our normal life and has caused major suffering and economic problems all over the world. In Science, both research and teaching as well as scientific meetings, has taken a heavy toll and we are all slowly recovering. For the ECSS the Executive and Scientific Boards have attempted to maneuver within these difficult conditions. In late October 2020, we managed to successfully run our 25th ECSS Anniversary Congress as a full virtual congress. For this year 2021, we have after very careful consideration, and detailed discussions, again decided to organize a full virtual 26th annual congress. This year the scientific program offers a broad interdisciplinary spectrum of current research in sport science, where the major highlights will be the live streams of our three plenary sessions, more than 25 invited symposia, and not least the Young Investigators Award (YIA) presentations. Furthermore, we will provide access to a huge amount of video-streamed oral, traditional poster and e-poster presentations. As a benefit, the entire 26th ECSS Congress program and presentations will be made available for you, via your personal ECSS account, until the end of December 2021. Based on our very positive experience of the 25th ECSS anniversary virtual congress, we are confident that the science presented and discussed at this year`s 26th annual ECSS congress will be of very high quality and will stimulate discussion and interaction. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the 26th ECSS annual Congress and we look forward to seeing you in person in beautiful Seville in 2022, where we all hope that the pandemic has finally succumbed. Jørn Wulff Helge, ECSS President Flemming Dela, Chair ECSS Scientific Board Elias Tsolakidis, ECSS Technical Directo
