Acute exposure to terrestrial altitude (hypobaric hypoxia) causes decrements in endurance performance relative to sea level. Altitude acclimatization consistently results in partial attenuation of these decrements, but due to logistical challenges, it is not readily implemented. In this course,…
This course will review the significant updates and additions made in the 12th edition of ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. We will first review new sections on sex differences, transgender and gender diverse individuals, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, postural…
This course will explore the critical role of sleep in optimizing athletic performance and overall health. Emphasizing the importance of sleep for young athletes, we will discuss current research, practical strategies for improving sleep hygiene and the urgent need for policy changes advocating…
The course on precision medicine in sports integrates molecular insights with clinical practice to enhance athletic performance and mitigate sports-related injuries. By leveraging genetic information, clinicians can proactively identify individual predispositions to injuries and tailor…
Authenticity in sports science is essential for Black athletes, especially when addressing mental health. It's important to understand and support the mental health needs of underrepresented communities in sports science. By acknowledging the unique challenges faced by Black athletes and…
This course seeks to do a brief review of Lactate (La-) metabolism and its practical application as a useful tool for physiological assessment and exercise prescription/training from athletes to patients in cardiac rehabilitation. Considering that La- is a glycolytic main product and that the…
Astaxanthin has quickly become one of the most talked-about nutrients among exercise physiology and sports nutrition researchers. This carotenoid has shown strong promise in its application in sports, exercising persons, aging populations, and tactical athletes. This talk will focus on some of…
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…
With the evolution of resistance training that I presented in a 2015 keynote, many interesting advances in research have occurred from the improved understanding of periodization to its impact on basic biological function. The fundamentals of exercise prescription have now expanded to include a…
This course will discuss the historic and recent progress in the clinical care and research of women athletes. The presenter will address methodological, physiological, and societal considerations in studying women and conducting multidisciplinary clinical care. The course will also highlight…
The profile of Para sport across the world is at an all-time high, and the United States will host two Olympic/Paralympic Games in the next ten years (Los Angeles 2028 and Salt Lake City 2034). Despite this growth, more work is needed to ensure that scientists and clinicians are prepared to meet…
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in sports medicine marks a paradigm shift in athletic training and competition. This course explores AI's transformative potential, particularly generative AI, in revolutionizing biomedical control of training and sports performance analysis.…
This course will highlight contemporary and practical issues and concerns for various protein sources that confront athletes and often complicate their approaches to consuming healthy and enjoyable diets that support human performance and health.
For the first time, the 2024 Paris Olympics will have similar numbers of female and male athletes.
Despite years of research, myths surrounding lactate and its effect on the body during and following exercise persist. Lactate does not cause muscle soreness, nor is it a metabolic “waste product.” Lactate plays an important role in how the body produces and uses energy. By measuring our body’s…
