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".…
The 2026 FIFA World Cup (FWC) in the USA, Mexico and Canada (across 16 host cities) will expose players to diverse environmental challenges, including: (i) extreme heat; (ii) altitude; (iii) air pollution, seasonal allergens, and airborne illnesses; and (iv) travel. Alone or in combination,…
Physicians increasingly face chronic disease challenges that extend beyond medications and procedures. Clinical Exercise Physiologists (CEPs) bring expertise in exercise testing, prescription, and lifestyle modification, enhancing patient outcomes, reducing rehospitalizations, and improving…
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…
Pediatric obesity, a multifactorial chronic condition that has many detrimental effects on a child's health, has increased in prevalence dramatically over the past 40-50 years. This "From Around the Field" webinar course explores how physical activity can be leveraged to prevent and treat…
What do we really know about menstrual cycle training, is it social media hype or science? As more programs and influencers promote “cycle syncing” for performance, strength, and recovery, it’s essential for exercise professionals to understand what the research actually supports. This session…
With rising obesity rates and continued decreases in physical activity, our society is faced with increasing burdens on the healthcare system. The "eat less, move more" advice given by many practitioners over the years is not addressing this issue. With so many factors at play, a new strategy…

In this "From Around the Field" offering, Dr. Stuart Phillips will discuss how resistance training can be scaled for nearly anyone, from novices to older adults, and why building strength and muscle is a cornerstone of healthspan. He reviews the evidence on the key programming variables that…
Blood pressure (BP) during exercise provides strong prognostic value, with abnormal responses being associated with a higher risk of adverse health outcomes. Therefore, it is important to understand how modifiable factors affect exercise BP. This course explores how dietary sodium intake and…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, disabling immune-mediated disease, characterized primarily by damage to the myelin sheath surrounding axons of neurons in the central nervous system, resulting in diverse neurological consequences, including vision loss, cognitive disturbances, mental health…

The ACSM Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist® (ACSM-CEP) is recognized as eligible to sit for the Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) examination through the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE). As a CDCES, the ACSM-CEP can provide both…
Physical activity has many potential benefits during pregnancy and postpartum. To promote safety, physical activity programs should be individualized with recognition of conditions that may result in the need to modify physical activity recommendations. Evidence-based questionnaires designed for…
