| First Annual RQES Lecture: Where Are We Now? Where Are We Going? |
| In June 2005, a special 75th Anniversary Issue of Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (RQES) was published. That issue provided us with an overview of the research and scholarship published in the journal during this period. What will RQES look like in the future? This presentation will focus on the current Editor in Chief’s “vision” of where we will be in the next 5-10 years. Dr. Kathleen Williams is Professor and Head in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, having joined the faculty in 1988. Her research focuses on issues of balance and mobility in older adults. Completed investigations have examined the impact of low intensity physical activity interventions on self-confidence and balance abilities of older adults and dual task performance (simultaneous walking and talking) by older adults. Williams is a Fellow of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education and the AAHPERD Research Consortium. Beginning in September 2005, she became Editor in Chief of Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport. |
