Dear ASAPE Members and Delegates,

​

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th International Symposium of the Asian Society for Adapted Physical Education and Exercise (ASAPE), Hong Kong (ASAPE 2022 Hong Kong). We are very grateful to the Faculty of Education and the Department of Sports Science and Physical Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong for their support to make this international symposium happen. We are also very pleased to get sponsorship from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.

ASAPE is constituted as the Asian branch of the International Federation of Adapted Physical Activity (IFAPA). ASAPE is an international scientific organization of researchers, scholars, practitioners, and students dedicated to the conduct, implementation, and dissemination of research in the practice of adapted physical activity (APA). The main purpose of ASAPE is to promote APA opportunities for all individuals with special needs across countries in Asia. ASAPE holds the international symposium biennially.

​

In response to the latest pandemic situation, ASAPE 2022 Hong Kong is now changed from a face-to-face to an online mode (i.e., ASAPE 2022-Online Hong Kong). We highly welcome APA scholars and practitioners from Asian countries and regions, as well as from all parts of the world to share their work, exchange new ideas and cutting-edge research results.

​

There are updates on abstract submission deadline, registration fee, and conference programme. Also, please come register as a member of ASAPE to enjoy registration fee concession!

​

I am looking forward to warmly welcoming you to ASAPE 2022-Online Hong Kong!
