No matter whether in professional athletes or average people going about their daily lives, insufficient blood flow responses will impact health and performance. This session explores the multi-layered mechanisms and pathways that support matching skeletal muscle blood flow to the metabolic…
The popular 10,000 steps per day goal was (surprisingly) not derived from scientific evidence. This presentation will explore the origin of the 10,000 steps per day goal, the current science on step counts and health, and strategies to improve population health through device-based…
This presentation features a historic overview of classical physical education from ancient Greece through the 1960s JFK era. Attendees will learn valuable lessons on how learning "through the physical" created mental stability, good citizenship, "physical literacy" and how physically active and…
Performance fatigability is defined as a decrement in a performance-based task — often affected by factors such as energy utilization and history of chronic conditions. This course will discuss various methods of measuring performance fatiguability, including more recent measures such as the…
Recent evidence from the circadian field suggests that when we do something may be just as important as what we do. This course will focus on the impact that timing one’s behaviors has on physiological outcomes, as well as the effects of sleep, diet, and exercise timing on glucose and lipid…

This course covers phenotypic and molecular skeletal muscle changes in middle-aged men and women during periods of disuse and exercise rehabilitation, the roles of biologic sex and altered muscle metabolism in the development of cancer cachexia, and the contribution of muscle-resident…
Cancer and cancer treatment can wreak havoc on the neuromuscular and sensory systems, impacting physical function. This course will cover these effects on functional performance and outline the findings of preliminary research regarding exercise interventions in cancer patients.
Low energy availability (LEA) is a mismatch between an athlete’s energy intake and their exercise energy expenditure that leaves insufficient support for important body systems — a condition that underpins the RED-S and Female and Male Athlete Triad syndromes. From an evolutionary, medical, and…
Metformin and SGLT2 inhibitors are widely used to treat insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, this course explores new evidence regarding the impact of such drugs on skeletal muscle health and function, including how metformin treatment can regulate myogenesis and mitochondrial…
Bingocize® is an evidence-based health promotion program that strategically combines exercise, health education, and the game of bingo. Investigations funded by the National institute on Aging and the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid have shown the program is capable of improving functional…
This session would involve demonstration and instruction on the use of 2 different movement sensor technology systems to enhance the quality of exercise assessment and improve delivery of exercise prescription:1) Use of MoveFactorX inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor for measuring objective…
Bodyweight exercise and high-intensity interval training stand out as prominent fitness trends worldwide. Notably, the fusion of these two approaches, known as bodyweight interval training (BW-IT), has garnered significant attention, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This…
Learning to evaluate movement is key for all exercise professionals and those involved in sports performance. This interactive course covers joint movement (or “kinesiology”) and breaks down various exercises into their component parts, providing participants with a well-founded introduction to…
Evidence-based training concepts for older-adult clients (illustrative listing).
Approximately 12 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Exercise can play an important role in managing symptoms and maintaining independence. Explore the research behind these benefits and discover how Ouachita Baptist University engages Exercise Science students to…
Intentional examination of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) elevates the standard of sports medicine by ensuring we consider people, not just problems. When SDoH are embedded into research, clinical care, education, and decision-making, we create more equitable, effective, and meaningful…
Listen in while University of Montevallo, Our Lady of the Lake University, and University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire share their funded EIM-OC projects through the Barry and Linda Franklin Microgrant. These presentations cover the diversified landscape that the EIM-OC campuses have. Whether you are…

Physical education requirements are increasingly being deprioritized in pre-k through college level curriculum, contributing to a decline in movement and physical activity among younger generations. ACSM is actively exploring solutions to address this as our vision is to extend and enrich lives…
THIS TUTORIAL LECTURE WILL BE CONDUCTED ENTIRELY IN SPANISH (WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
Female athletes are having a transformative impact across the athletic landscape globally, extending far beyond competition results. Female athletes are reshaping sports culture, driving economic growth, influencing public policy, advancing health research, and challenging longstanding social…
The application of molecular techniques to exercise biology has provided greater understanding of the complexity of cellular networks involved in response to training, while the insights gained from analyzing the practices of elite athletes have been directly applied to improve health and…
