Approximately 450 research abstracts were submitted for thc frcc communication, poster, and/or symposia sessions under the auspices of thc Research Consortium for the 1991 AM IPERD Convention in San Francisco; those abstracts which were recommended for presentation arc published in this volume. At the Business Meeting of the Research Consortium in New Orleans last ycar it was recommended that Review Panel Chairs bc appointed in various subdisciplines to facilitate abstract reviews; this recommendation was adopted. Review Panel Chairs were nominated at a meeting of the Executive Board in Reston this past June and were subsequently appointed; their charge was to select reviewers and to coordinate the review process.To help the respective Review Panel Chairs pick their reviewers, names garnered from the (a) various associations of AAI1PERD, (b) the Research Ouarterly for Exercise and Sport editor as well as scction editors, and (c) NASPE Academy chairs were forwarded to thcm; they also received names of priorabstract reviewers as well as names of individuals who had personally indicated thatthey wished to review program abstracts. Thc program schedul(including time and place) is provided following the list of reviewers; abstracts of thc symposia are presented in the next scction, followed by the abstracts for frcc papers and posters. Thanks are extended to all thosc who submitted papers; thanks also are extended to thc reviewers and paticularty the Review PanelChairs, who gave so selflessly of their time and expertise. A special thanks to Jane Clark for hcr gradous assistance and for recommending the Review Panel Chair concept; the latter made my arduous task much more palatable. A particular thanks to Ray Ciswk of the Alliance staff, and his assistant Pam Grimmard; they were always most accommodating of any request for assistance I had. 'thanks also to Joan Paul, my department head, for providing mc with generous support. This support included Jo Allen, Departmental Secretary, and particularly my secretary, Glenda Dills; the latter typed the program and was extremely helpful in all facets. Martha Craig and Pam Swan (both graduate students) made important contributions; and Zhan Liu, also a graduate student, assisted me throughout the fall semester and truly made my task much easier.
