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…
High intensity interval training (HIIT), a training method involving short bursts of intense exercise alternating with lower-intensity exercise or rest, is an effective and efficient way to deliver significant fitness benefits in a short timespan. As a highly adaptable and variable training…
Presented by ACSM in partnership with Medical Fitness Association (MFA).
Short sleep duration is prevalent in modern society and may be contributing to type 2 diabetes prevalence. This course will explore the effects of sleep restriction on glycemic control, the mechanisms causing insulin resistance, and whether exercise can offset changes in glycemic control.…
Presented by ACSM in partnership with Clinical Exercise Physiology Association (CEPA).
Interval training seems to be a safe, enjoyable, and time-efficient exercise modality for non-athletes while being one of the top global trends in the health and fitness industry. In this session, latest research findings will be presented focusing on the efficacy of interval training protocols…
Escalating numbers of adults have now embraced the notion that "more exercise is invariably better". However, vigorous exercise, particularly when performed by inactive, unfit individuals can trigger acute cardiac events. Accelerated coronary artery calcification, exercise-induced cardiac…
The purpose of the workshop is to stress the importance of precise coaching and exercise selection in order to deliver effective and safe workouts.
This course focuses on the latest research in the field of physical activity and aging, from the epidemiology of age-related cognitive decline to the biological mechanisms of action and emerging evidence on the impact of both aerobic and strength/high intensity interventions on cognitive decline.
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…
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…
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…
