This installment of the ExSci Careers Explored series features health and fitness professional Ben Rossi.
Attending academic conferences offers students valuable opportunities to network with experts, gain insights into the latest research, and enhance their professional skills. Thoughtful preparation — such as researching the agenda, setting goals, and packing essentials — ensures a productive…
The childhood cancer survivor population is growing due to advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities. Issues survivors face, such as accelerated physiological aging, reduced muscle quality, and cardiovascular health complications make a physically active lifestyle imperative to…
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…
Indian Club Swinging (ICS) offers a versatile addition to modern exercise programming that can be effective at enhancing dynamic flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and neuromotor fitness. Their versatility allows them to be incorporated into the warm-up phase, strength training phase,…
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…
Exercise in hot environments challenges more than physical performance—it also affects the brain’s ability to process information, make decisions, and regulate movement. This course explores the latest research on how hyperthermia alters cognitive and neuroelectrical activity, with a focus on…
Explore the latest evidence on sex differences and menstrual cycle influences on neuromuscular performance. This course examines how biological sex shapes strength, motor control, fatigability, and motor unit behavior, while critically evaluating the commonly held belief that menstrual cycle…
Discover the emerging role of microRNA-1 (miR-1) as a key regulator of skeletal muscle growth and metabolism. This course explores the latest research demonstrating how exercise- and overload-induced reductions in miR-1 drive metabolic reprogramming that supports muscle hypertrophy. Participants…
Exercise prescription for cancer surviviors has been guided by a binary framework that separates resistance training (RT) and aerobic training (AT). However, emerging evidence increasingly challenges this separation. In oncology settings, there are many that challenges highlight the need for a…
Discover the latest science behind exercise, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity in this cutting-edge course. Learn how a single bout of exercise can dramatically enhance the body's ability to regulate blood glucose and improve insulin action, delivering immediate benefits for metabolic health.…
Discover the science behind how exercise can sharpen the mind and enhance performance. This course examines the powerful connection between physical activity and cognitive function, revealing how even a single bout of exercise can improve focus, reaction time, decision-making, and mental…
What is health identity? Explore the use of health identity (HI) as a critical, yet underutilized framework for understanding how individuals see themselves in relation to health (“Who am I?”) and how they believe others perceive their health-related behaviors. Review the latest research and…
Wearable technologies, like smartwatches, activity monitors, and inertial measurement units are increasingly used in sports medicine to monitor athlete health, performance, and injury prevention and recovery. These tools offer objective data that can enhance clinical decision-making, but also…
Athletes who undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) continue to show deficits in quadriceps strength after returning to sport and two years post-op (Peterson 2014). Recent research has aimed to understand what individual factors contribute to return of quadriceps strength post…
Athlete mental health and the athlete voice are essential aspects of sports medicine care. Athlete identity and transition out of sport can be a difficult and straining process. Outside of the varsity system and in some sports that are decentralized this process becomes even more difficult. Hear…
As machine-learning and AI–driven predictive models become increasingly prevalent in athlete monitoring, injury-risk assessment, and the optimization of human performance, there is an urgent need for guidelines to ensure their transparent development, supervised implementation, and…
Despite the well-documented benefits of regular physical activity, African American men with diabetes remain underrepresented in exercise programs, contributing to persistent health disparities. This tutorial course presents a case study that applied the 2017 ACSM Achieving Health Equity…
Increasing attention is focused on understanding the influence of maternal exercise on child health outcomes; however, there is a gap regarding the influence of maternal exercise on child muscle and bone health, as well as motor skills development. Knowing and understanding these relationships…
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…
