Dear Dr. rostami,
The European College of Sport Science is deeply saddened by the recent loss of Professor Bengt Saltin.
Professor Saltin was a most distinguished scholar in exercise physiology, a real pioneer and leader in human applied physiology.
He was one of the main founders of the ECSS and undoubtedly its ‘spiritual father’, a constant guide and point of reference for the scientific standing of our College.
Professor Saltin always understood and promoted exercise science as an inter- and multidisciplinary academic endeavor and leaves an incredibly rich legacy.
Prof Bengt Saltin, ECSS founding member and Patron
03.06.1935 – 12.09.2014
We shall remember him with the greatest respect and gratitude for his scientific contribution and continued commitment to the ECSS.
With sincere sympathy.
The ECSS
