The “10th Anniversary Conference of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation” will be held at “Elysian Gangchon Resort” in Chuncheon from October 31 to November 1, 2014. The topic of this Conference is “Creative application of exercise rehabilitation practice to fields”.

During the last 10 yr, the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation trained professional leaders, placed Solution Center, published textbook, and held many conferences. However, we raise the questions to ourselves whether these efforts helped on real life or whether we did our social roles.

In order to fulfill the social responsibility of our own, we need to perform two important things. One is the internationalization of the “Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation”. For this, we should invite excellent editorial members from many countries around the world. And correction of English in this journal is also should be conducted.

Next is to open the international conference. We invited three excellent scholars to the “10th Anniversary Conference of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation”: Professor Zeevi Dvir from Tel Aviv University in Israel, Professor Parco M. Siu from Hong Kong Polytechnic University in China, and Professor Mi-Hyeon Jang from Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in USA. This conference will be the first step for the internationalization of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation.

For the development and the responsibility of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation, we need more studies on the theoretical background of exercise rehabilitation, and then practice of exercise rehabilitation should be applied to the field. In preparing for the future, we must hold two cups. A cup to thank for over the past to the current arrival in one hand, and a cup of anguish to prepare for tomorrow in the other hand!
