The Egyptian Society of Health, Fitness and Sport Science (ESHFSS ) was founded in Giza, Egypt, in 2005. The founders recognized a widening gap between the fields of health, fitness, sport, and sport science and sought to reinforce the link between these areas and develop a more inclusive perspective.

Purpose of the Society is the promotion of Health, Fitness and Sport Science. For that it is dedicated to the generation and dissemination of scientific knowledge concerning the adaption, responses, performance, motivation, attitudes, values and health and fitness aspects of persons engaged in sport. Sport means all forms of human movement which aims at expressing or improving physical fitness , mental well-being , ameliorating social relationships and obtaining results in competition at all levels.

The Society presents itself as an organization with a distinct scientific profile as far as its goals, structure, membership and working bodies are concerned.

As a national organization, it endeavors to bridge the gap between theory and application in the fields of Health, Fitness and Sport science, and to promote co-operation between scientists and organizations from all over the country. It shall advise Egyptian institutions on research problems and new research results available in the fields of Health, Fitness and Sport Science.

The Society's activities will be published in the ESHFSS News Bulletin. The main scientific endeavors of the Society are its annual Congresses. Starting from 2010 the Society will launch its own official peer reviewed journal the EJSS. This journal is free of charge for all ESHFSS members consisting of original research articles and intra- and interdisciplinary reviews of the sport science literature from sport scientists worldwide.

Persons with a university degree in physical education or sport science (Coaching Science) can apply for regular membership; students may apply for student membership.
