The Korean Society of Sport Biomechanics and policy
The Korean Society of Sport Biomechanics (KSSB) was founded in 1976 to promote the research and education
of the area of sports-related biomechanics. KSSB has memberships of approximately 400 researchers, students,
and industry members, which covers various disciplines of biomechanics. The KSSB is affiliated with the Korean
Journal of Applied Biomechanics (KJAB), which has been published online in real time after confirmation of publication.
The KSSB supports domestic conference, workshop, and international contact amongst scientist.
Also, the KSSB has established an scientific tie with the international Society of Biomechanics (ISB),
International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS), Asian Society of Sport Biomechanics (ASSB).
The Korean Journal of Applied Biomechanics and policy
The Korean Journal of Applied Biomechanics (abbreviation: KJAB, eISSN 2093-9752) was established in 1991,
and KJAB is the official journal of the Korean Society of Sport Biomechanics (KSSB).
The Journal focuses on various aspects of applied biomechanics to provide scientific knowledge for sports
