4th International State of the Art Congress

You are kindly invited to participate in the 4th 3-day International Congress on "Rehabilitation: Mobility, Exercise & Sports" on April 7th - 9th, 2009. As always, the congress will be held in the main building of the VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It is indeed the fourth time since 1991 this congress is organized by the faculty of Human Movement Sciences, and it stresses the strong and natural link between the fields of rehabilitation and human movement sciences, both in theory and practice.

The theme of the 4th congress underlines the development taking place in our research since 1991: from a strongly manual wheelchair oriented focus back then, towards the much broader perspective of mobility restoration, active lifestyle, exercise, training and sports in the context of rehabilitation practice today.

Wimbledon 2008 Highlights

Rafael Nadal won the Men's Singles title at Wimbledon! It was an epic win against Roger Federer. Rafael Nadal also won the French Open a few weeks ago (also against Federer). This is the first time since 1980 that someone has won the French Open and Wimbledon title back to back.

Venus Williams wins Ladies' Singles, her fifth Wimbledon title. The Williams sisters' duel drew the highest preliminary television ratings for a women's Wimbledon final in three years.
