When can I register for the Symposium?
Both attendees and presenters can register online from 2 February 2026. Registration will remain open until 30 September 2026.
Participants who register before the reduced-rate deadlines (20 July 2026 and 15 September 2026) can benefit from significant discounts on the registration fee.
Can I present my contribution in another language?
Oral and poster presentations may be delivered in Spanish or English. However, only contributions presented in English will be eligible for consideration for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
Can I exceed the maximum length specified in the submission guidelines?
No. All submissions must strictly comply with the maximum length specified in the submission guidelines. No exceptions will be made.
Do I need to register or pay the registration fee for my submission to be reviewed?
No. The Scientific Committee will review all submissions regardless of whether their authors have registered for the Symposium.
Once the review decision has been communicated, authors will have sufficient time to register and, where applicable, benefit from the reduced rates available at that time.
If a contribution has several authors, how many must pay the registration fee?
At least the first author of each contribution must be registered for the Symposium and must present the work. Each participant may be listed as first author on a maximum of two contributions.
If a contribution has several authors, how many will receive a presentation certificate?
A presentation certificate will be issued to all authors listed on the contribution.
Attendance certificates will only be issued to those who attend the Symposium.
I am enrolled in a doctoral programme. Am I eligible for the student registration fee?
Yes. Students enrolled in officially recognised master’s or doctoral programmes are eligible for the reduced student registration fee, provided they submit proof of current enrolment at the time of registration.
I am taking a physical activity-related course at a private institution that does not offer officially recognised qualifications. Am I eligible for the student registration fee?
No. To qualify for the reduced student registration fee, you must be enrolled in an officially recognised undergraduate, master’s or doctoral degree programme.
Courses offered by gyms, instructor training courses, non-official university qualifications, non-official master’s programmes and other training programmes offered by private organisations do not qualify.
I have registered for the Symposium and paid the fee, but I can no longer attend. Can I request a refund?
Yes. Cancellations notified on or before the final day of the registration period will be eligible for a refund of 90% of the registration fee paid.
After this deadline, no refunds will be possible, as the organisers will have already incurred the costs associated with your participation in the Symposium.
