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…
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…
Aging adults are at increased Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) risk. Many suggest amyloid-beta and tau protein disturbances cause ADRD. However, pharmaceutical trials targeting these factors have shown limited effects. Thus, other factors likely drive ADRD risk. Cerebrovascular…

Nearly 49M people worldwide have a substance use disorder (SUD). There were 111k related deaths in the U.S. in 2022. The recent ACSM Call to Action highlights strategies to mitigate issues associated with SUD. This course will explore how nutrition and exercise act as trans-disease interventions…
Gain practical, science-based nutrition knowledge with this continuing education course, featuring expert insights from The Nutritionist’s View column in ACSM’s Health & Fitness Journal®. Covering key topics like the Mediterranean diet, AI in nutrition, and nutrition assessment components, this…
This course covers the widespread issue of physical inactivity and the biology behind it. Dr. Letsinger will provide an overview of the biological promoters of physical activity and how wheel-running mice are an effective model for understanding these mechanisms.
The aim of this course is to introduce sleep into the concept of the 24-hour movement paradigm, consider the impact of sleep on health, and take away key factors of the movement prescription to improve health.
Concussion can be a challenging injury for clinicians to manage given the many different approaches that exist for assessment and rehabilitation. Through this lecture, we will explore evidence-based strategies to identify risk of poor outcomes soon after a concussion and intervention strategies…
Intermittent fasting is an extremely popular diet. However, this popularity has caused a lot of misconceptions around not only what the diet is, but how it works and how it might affect your goals. Throughout this session we will focus on not only understanding the background that led to the…
Fitness professionals have been traditionally taught to “instruct” their clients - what to do, how much and how to do it. Unfortunately, this instructional model does not always address behavioral barriers – lack of motivation and confidence need to be overcome before a client successfully…
Psychiatric illnesses are pervasive, recurrent, and debilitating and are a leading cause of global disease and disability burden. This course explores the physiological mechanisms by which mood and anxiety disorders increase chronic disease risk, with a major focus on the influence of exercise…
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…
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…
