Blood lactate concentrations have traditionally been utilized as an index of exercise intensity. However, more recent data suggests that plasma lactate can also be indicative of the risk for subsequent metabolic disease. This symposium will showcase the clinical implications of plasma lactate…
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…
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…
