BRIDGING EXERCISE AND OBESITY CARE GUIDED BY SCIENCE, NOT BIAS
Presented by ACSM in partnership with the National Council on Strength and Fitness (NCSF).
Functional fitness testing provides exercise professionals across ACSM certifications with valuable information about movement, balance, mobility, muscular fitness, and physical function, but its greatest value comes from translating assessment findings into individualized exercise programming.…

Cardiorespiratory fitness is increasingly considered a vital sign with proven value across the performance and health spectrum. Yet many widely used prediction equations to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness were not designed for today’s diverse athletic and clinical populations, leading to…
Cardiorespiratory fitness depends on more than the heart and lungs—it also relies on the ability of the vascular system to deliver oxygen efficiently to working muscles. This course explores the emerging role of reactive hyperemia as a comprehensive measure of vascular function that captures…
Ultra-endurance sports place extreme demands not only on the body but also on the brain. Understanding how cognitive function responds under prolonged stress, and whether targeted brain stimulation can support mental performance, opens new frontiers in sports science. High-definition…
The Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) was designed to map the molecular responses to exercise among over 1800 sedentary adults, children, and adolescents who were randomized to endurance training, resistance training, or non-exercise control. Several features of the…
Discover current practices in using biomedical imaging to assess body composition and tissue (including bone and muscle) characteristics across different populations like athletes or military trainees. Additionally, learn about the advancing knowledge of biomedical engineers using "radiomics".…
A high-impact overview of self-report science tailored for sports medicine professionals will be provided. Aimed at translating essential survey design methods based on psychometric principles, the session will show how physical activity, mental health and other questionnaires can mislead or…
Body composition has been a focus within the field of exercise physiology and energy metabolism for some time. The challenges of understanding how body composition influences health and performance have led to a variety of strategies, some misinformed. Furthermore, the conflation of body…
When does corrective exercise cross the line from enhancing movement to treating an injury? This session examines the science behind movement screening and corrective strategies, emphasizing how to recognize red flags that indicate the need for referral. Participants will explore the boundaries…
Tactical athletes including military personnel, police officers, firefighters, and other public safety professionals have unique physical demands and training requirements. This session provides an overview of the science behind their performance needs and explores how fitness professionals can…

This “From Around the Field” course explores the framework for testing and training in intermittent sports, such as football, tennis, ice hockey and basketball. Drs. Nybo and Mohr share experiences and ideas on how science and practice ideally interact to guide athletes and coaches.
The exercise recommendations for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease ( ESRD ) are analogous to those for older adults and the management of comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. It is suggested that these recommendations be considered in light of each…
Multi-dimensional targeted power assessments can guide personalized interventions that will improve daily activities, reduce fall risks, and enhance cognitive function in older adults will be discussed. Power testing enables exercise professionals to establish baselines, track progress, and…
