About this course

The crossroads of sleep physiology and performance continues to be an expanding area of research. At the ACSM 2024 meeting, there were several featured symposia addressing how sleep and circadian physiology contribute to the regulation of health and performance. This course builds upon the 2024 presentations by providing attendees with current evidence and perspectives that consider sleep as a key driver of physical performance and functional capacity. Specific areas of focus will include the effects on or relationship between sleep and 1) injury risk, 2) muscle anabolism, and 3) performance optimization.

What you will learn

  • Describe basic sleep concepts/physiology and sleep's relationship with musculoskeletal injury and performance
  • Understand muscle physiology and influence of sleep on its functional capacity with considerations across the lifespan
