Metabolic flexibility is the ability to utilize the appropriate fuel to supply energy according to the demand of specific physiological conditions, e.g., fasting, feeding, and exercise. Exercise training can improve insulin sensitivity and the capacity for efficient fatty acid oxidation, two key features of metabolic flexibility.\u00a0 A better understanding of the separate and additive effects of exercise and weight loss on metabolic flexibility is needed in the context of obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Past, Present, and Future of Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy Research” tab_id=”1610651170059-1b59f0cc-1ab5″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Mike Roberts, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

For the past 40 years, researchers and practitioners have been mesmerized with examining mechanisms associated with skeletal muscle growth in response to weight lifting (or mechanical overload in rodents). Dr. Roberts will first discuss some of the historical papers instrumental in formulating this field. Next, he will outline the current thought in this area. Finally, he will discuss future directions that will add invaluable insights and continue moving the field forward.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Old Bull way: Weaving Pain Neuroscience, Principles of Progressive Overload, and Non-Diagnosis Driven Care in the Rehab Process” tab_id=”1610651188067-25d427e2-c963″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Katie Dabrowski, PT, DPT, CSCS<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time we make a shift in the rehab space. A shift away from the biomedical model of pain, one that operates on the faulty claim of all pain = tissue damage. A shift away from underdosing rehab with low level, low stimulus interventions that do not provide enough of a stimulus to promote adaptation. A shift away from diagnosis-driven care. Dr. Dabrowski\u2019s lecture will dive into the more modern theories of pain neuroscience, how training principles should be interwoven in rehab, and how person-centered care supersedes the need for a specific diagnosis in most cases. Because, after all, as Phil Glasgow says,\u00a0\u201cRehab is training in the presence of injury.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Updates in Concussion Management & Research” tab_id=”1610651691059-dff853bc-a801″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Julianne Schmidt, Ph.D., ATC<\/p>\n

This presentation will cover changes in best practices for concussion management and the research that informs those changes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”IEPRS Distinguished Alumni Lecture: Supplementation with Nitric Oxide Precursors for Strength Performance” tab_id=”1610651712818-496883ce-f7b1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Adam Gonzalez, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about the pump! Nitric-oxide (NO)-stimulating dietary supplements are widely available and marketed to strength athletes and weightlifters seeking to increase muscle performance. Nitric oxide plays a critical role in endothelial function, promoting relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and subsequent dilation which may favorably impact blood flow and augment mechanisms contributing to skeletal muscle performance, hypertrophy, and strength adaptations. In this presentation, Dr. Gonzalez will describe the NO production pathways and summarize the current literature on the effects of supplementation with L-arginine, L-citrulline, and nitrate for strength and power performance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Neural Determinants of Motor Function in ACL Rehabilitation” tab_id=”1611844496043-20a22915-7f50″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by David Sherman, Ph.D., AT, PT<\/p>\n

Injury changes an individual\u2019s ability to sense, integrate, and move within their environment. Our scientific understanding of joint injury as more than a musculoskeletal injury has brought insight into how neural adaptations interfere with recovery. Specifically, neuroplasticity at the level of the spinal cord and brain result in and perpetuate muscle dysfunctions and movement impairments. This presentation will discuss the emergence of neuroplasticity within sensory neural pathways, shifts in cortical integration, resultant muscle inhibition and neural control, and the application of interventions aimed at enhancing recovery through modulation of the nervous system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”From Surgery to Long-Term Joint Health: Optimizing Outcomes after ACL Rupture” tab_id=”1611844524928-36cad6f4-dfa0″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Elanna Arhos, PT, DPT, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

After ACL reconstruction, outcomes are highly variable, with an increased risk for second injury, reduced rates of returning to pre-injury sport or activity level, and increased risk of developing post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis. Dr. Arhos will discuss clinical and biomechanical outcomes after ACL rupture, evidence-based objective criteria to guide return to sport decision making, and operative vs. non-operative management of acute ACL injury. She will also discuss what is currently known about the risk for development post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis in the 5-10 years that follow acute injury.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Chasing a Moving Target: Metabolic Adaptation, Exercise Energy Compensation, and Total Energy Expenditure” tab_id=”1611844559284-61554d82-958a”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Eric Trexler, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Whether aiming to lose weight, gain weight, fuel training, or facilitate recovery, caloric intake must be tailored to an individual\u2019s energy expenditure and activity level. However, optimal energy intake can be a moving target. Due to metabolic adaptation and exercise energy compensation, humans may experience adaptive changes in energy expenditure when caloric intake and physical activity levels change. This presentation discusses how to effectively account for these factors when setting and adjusting calorie targets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Long Held Promise of Cross-education: When, Why, and How?” tab_id=”1646669297379-d790b295-4e52″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Joshua Carr, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Since 1894, the phenomenon of muscle strength and force control \u2018transferring\u2019 to untrained muscles has intrigued the medical and physiological communities. Beyond the curious physiology, this adaptation has held promising clinical potential for over a century. But over 100 years later, has the promise been delivered? This talk will examine the evidence for when, why, and how cross-education training may be implemented. This presentation invites you to consider a century-old puzzle and discover its modern relevance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Physiological determinants of firefighter performance: Does sport science have a role?” tab_id=”1646669333303-8cb649a9-07b7″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Jacob Mota, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Firefighters are critical components of public safety. Unfortunately, recent reports suggest firefighter obesity prevalence is greater than that of the general population, accompanied by industry-leading injury rates. Furthermore, underlying mechanisms which dictate firefighter performance are lacking. Dr. Mota discusses how sport science has a unique role to play with firefighters and potential, evidence-based strategies to make an impact.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_custom_heading text=”Sponsors” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23000000|line_height:18px” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” el_class=”mb-2 presenters”][vc_column_text]Conference Supporter:<\/strong> De Luca Foundation

Cannabis in the forms of euphoric (THC Delta 8 & 9) and non-euphoric (CBD) applications have become more prevalent, more accepting to society of recent, and more questionable regarding the impact they have on exercise and performance. The goals of this presentation are to 1) distinguish between the different cannabinoids and their proposed therapeutic benefit to an individual\u2019s health, 2) identify known risks and complications associated with cannabis use and abuse, and 3) propose future areas of research of most interest to an active population.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Exploring the Role of Beef in Healthy Aging” tab_id=”1725980147963-f0b75994-1cd2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Clara Lau-Rosenow, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

This presentation will provide an overview of the Beef Checkoff Nutrition Research Program supported by America\u2019s farmers and ranchers to advance the understanding of beef\u2019s role in a balanced and healthful diet across the lifespan. Specifically, Dr. Lau will review research exploring beef\u2019s role in healthy aging with a focus on the impact on muscle health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Nutritional Strategies to Support Injury, Surgery, and the Rehabilitative Process” tab_id=”1725980148047-e7b90e1a-af24″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Katie Hirsch, Ph.D., EP-C, CISSN<\/p>\n

Injury is an unavoidable part of exercise and sport participation that, depending on severity, results in short- or long-term abstention from exercise. During this time, nutritional strategies that can be implemented to mitigate loss of muscle mass and strength, facilitate healing, and promote faster return-to-play. The goal of this talk is to provide athletes\/exercisers, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and medical professionals with practical information and strategies to nutritionally support the healing process. Topics to be discussed will include, caloric and macronutrient requirements of injury and surgery, pre-post surgery and physical rehabilitation nutrient timing strategies, and how dietary supplements can be used to overcome the many nutritional challenges that occur throughout the entire rehabilitative process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Multicomponent Interventions for improved Health Outcomes in Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: Applying a Biopsychosocial Perspective to Improve Pain Management” tab_id=”1725980148131-0970b21d-02e0″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Alisa J.

Chronic pain remains a significant public health challenge, with more than 1 in 5 American adults reporting pain on most days. Chronic pain is associated with reduced quality of life, increased health expenditures, and significant personal and economic costs. Chronic pain frequently occurs in back, hip, and knee regions and is a leading cause of disability in older adults. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical therapy and massage, are among the top self-reported pain management strategies. Exercise improves pain, yet adherence remains challenging. Increasing evidence suggests interventions that target both physiological and psychological aspects of chronic MSK pain are required for optimal outcomes. The lecture will provide an overview of chronic MSK pain according to the biopsychosocial model, and present the current evidence and rationale for developing targeted multicomponent non-pharmacological interventions, with an eye toward future research initiatives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Putting the First Responder \u2013 First: Injury Prevention Efforts to Improve Health and Performance” tab_id=”1725980148225-e5c9be31-42bc”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Eric Ryan, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

First responders (e.g. firefighters, law enforcement officers) experience one of the highest rates of occupational injuries. This lecture will detail the current burden of injuries among first responders and discuss novel strategies and lessons learned to maximize health and job performance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Integrating Performance Science within a Professional Baseball Organization” tab_id=”1725980148344-67855419-6f91″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Joseph Myers, Ph.D., ATC<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, there has been a boon of professional sports organizations aiming to integrate the performance (or sports) science discipline in their organization. The various subdisciplines under the performance science umbrella, can contribute to the development, performance, health, and wellness of the organization\u2019s players. But, to truly integrate the discipline, and have it impactful to the organization, it takes more than just adding a performance scientist (or performance science staff) to staff. It requires thoughtful melding of the disciplinary science, into current practices and future processes within the organization. Using professional baseball as a model, this presentation will focus on the practices, challenges and successes associated with integrating a professional sports organization.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Physical Activity after Stroke: Complexity and Potential Solutions” tab_id=”1725980148433-c7228ba2-de13″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Mark Bowden, PT, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Most individuals post-stroke have dramatically impaired strength, balance, mobility, and endurance, which greatly decreases their ability to participate in physical activity once they have completed rehabilitation. Decreased walking ability strongly contributes to dramatically reduced levels of regular physical activity (PA), and decreased PA is a strong, modifiable risk factor for stroke. The 2021 AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines strongly recommend that patients who have had a TIA or stroke and who are capable of PA engage in PA three to five days\/week to lower the likelihood of major adverse cardiac events. Despite these guidelines, current post-stroke physical rehabilitation does not enable the majority of patients post-stroke to meet these PA recommendations. The proposed treatment framework could fill an important gap in current post-stroke care programs that will enable individuals to engage in physical activity that might prevent further strokes, heart attacks, and death. The supporting data have emerged from years of investigation into walking recovery, highlighting the emergent need for a combination of strength, balance, mobility, and endurance training.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Breaking Barriers Between Wearables and Research Systems: Linking Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics” tab_id=”1725980148522-576cf4e7-06bc”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Gianluca De Luca, M.S.<\/p>\n

Advances in sensors measuring electromyographic (EMG) activity have made impactful contributions toward understanding questions of fatigue, locomotion, power output, coordination, control, and metabolic cost in the field of biomechanics. Similar advances in wearable technologies for measuring VO2, NIRS-based muscle oxygenation, and exercise power output have simplified access to complex measures in the domain of exercise physiology. Progress in linking these disparate measures to obtain a comprehensive picture of human performance has been challenging due to the lack of interoperability between wearable sensor technologies, and the absence of a single system for acquiring unified, time-synchronized datasets. We present a case study showing the ability for Trigno Link technology to integrate EMG muscle activation profiles, with system-wide VO2 usage, muscle oxygen usage, breathing rate and heart rate to show how physiological subsystems work together to adapt to changing load requirements.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Critical Concepts for Treating Sick Muscles after ACL Injury” tab_id=”1725980148617-778ff973-d03a”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Lindsey K.

Atrophy that occurs after ACL injury continues despite being actively engaged in exercise. Recognizing the multitude of factors and cascade of events that are present and negatively influencing the regulation of muscle mass after ACL injury will likely enable clinicians to design more effective interventions. This session will present the mechanisms by which muscle mass is lost after ACL injury and evidence in support of alternative exercise interventions to optimize muscle recovery after injury.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The Utility of Muscle Texture Analysis to Assess Muscle Health in Older Adults” tab_id=”1725980148711-1c7e1ffd-d8b2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Michael Harris-Love, PT, MPT, DSc, FGSA, FAPTA<\/p>\n

The assessment of muscle health is critical to maintaining the functional independence of aging adults with chronic conditions. The use of second order texture features to estimate muscle composition is an emerging approach to quantify muscle dysfunction and enhance the sarcopenia diagnostic algorithm. The goals of this presentation are to 1) review the rationale for using texture analysis in the assessment of muscle tissue, 2) compare this approach with conventional forms of musculoskeletal ultrasound image analysis, and 3) determine if texture analysis adds value to the assessment of sarcopenia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The IEPRS Distinguished Alumni Lecture \u2013 Assessing Cognitive Performance in Sport: How Research Informs Practice” tab_id=”1725980148809-60e20b64-4ffb”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Adam J.

As the field of sport science has grown, so has the technology available to provide insight into athlete health, readiness, recovery, and performance. From both a basic and applied science standpoint, endocrine, biochemical, and nutritional markers have established utility for examining mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise and diet on health and performance. Fortunately, the use of these fundamental scientific measures is not limited to the laboratory bench. By incorporating their assessment into exercise and dietary programs, individuals and athletes can not only quantify progress and changes in overall health, but they can also help determine the effectiveness of training programs and recovery strategies to optimize performance. This presentation will focus on identifying athlete assessment strategies including timing, chosen markers, and application of the results to enhance training and overall health in both males and females. Finally, we will touch on unique biomarker responses in female athletes in relation to oral contraceptive use, the association between training loads and iron status, and the role of nutrition to improve recovery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Life After Sports: The Greatest Challenge for Former Collegiate Athletes” tab_id=”1675255508651-6de28914-76ec”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Janet Simon, Ph.D., AT<\/p>\n

Annually, ~8.5 million high school and collegiate athletes participate in competitive sport. While physical activity offers many benefits, it also poses risks to long-term health. Competitive sport increases risk for injury (e.g., knee injury) and may increase the risk of early onset of chronic diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis), chronic pain, poor health-related quality of life, and disability. Evidence indicates former athletes in mid-life perform worse on functional tests and have reduced health-related quality of life compared to non-athlete peers. This talk will cover injury epidemiology, measuring health-related quality of life, the impact of participating in sport on future health-related quality of life, and how to improve future outcomes following an athletic injury.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Treating Biology with Biomechanics: Novel Rehabilitation Solutions for Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury” tab_id=”1675255508812-bcfc960f-da65″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Brian Pietrosimone, Ph.D., ATC<\/p>\n

Individuals with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction are at high risk of developing osteoarthritis which leads to chronic disability and eventually joint replacement early in life. Changes in the way patients move early after injury impacts biological changes to the joint that hasten the development of osteoarthritis. This lecture explains how movement biomechanics influence biological changes at the joint and how we can modify movement biomechanics to maximize long term joint health following injury.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Fueling the Female Athlete: Combining Emerging Science with Practical Application to Personalize our Performance Plates” tab_id=”1675255508979-71616b7e-7d6b”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Catherine Saenz, Ph.D., RD, CSCS<\/p>\n

As performance nutrition evolves, we continue to learn more details about how to optimize performance plates for female athletes. In this talk, we\u2019ll dive deeper into specific areas of female physiology that nutrition may help support and the emerging scientific works to better understand the nutrient metabolism and underlying mechanisms involved. Finally, we\u2019ll focus on how to translate this information to help optimize and personalize dietary prescription for female athletes to support their health, performance, and recovery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Does it Matter if Pain is a Symptom or a Disease?” tab_id=”1675255509150-553ef300-c003″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Mark D.

Pain is vital to homeostasis and survival. Pain also has the dual aspects of a symptom and a disease. Such duality has been challenging to incorporate into management strategies typically used in allopathic healthcare. Broader understanding of the differences between pain the symptom and pain the disease is expected to improve outcomes for the millions of people who experience painful conditions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Efficacy of Blood Flow Restricted Resistance Training and Insights on Feasibility and Acceptability” tab_id=”1675255509315-19c01ecb-c3ad”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Summer Cook, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Blood flow restricted resistance training employs the use of low-loads while wearing a compressive cuff around the proximal limb to reduce blood flow to the exercising muscles. This presentation will focus on the acute changes and long-term adaptations associated with blood flow restricted resistance training in various populations. Special emphasis will be placed on the feasibility and acceptability of this type of training in clinical and fitness environments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How to Prevent Muscle Atrophy during Extended Periods of Unloading: Lessons from Spaceflight and Bed Rest” tab_id=”1675255509487-3c63a0bd-e037″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Lori Ploutz-Snyder, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

It is well known that muscle size, strength, and endurance decline during periods of disuse and that exercise can, at least theoretically, mitigate the declines. Dr. Ploutz-Snyder will delve into the complex relationship among muscle function, disuse, resistance and aerobic exercise training. She will discuss how NASA funded spaceflight and bed rest exercise studies can provide insight to better target exercise interventions for clinical populations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Crosstalk between Skeletal Muscle and Connective Tissue Facilitates Muscle Hypertrophy” tab_id=”1675255509669-3c740edb-5c97″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Christopher Fry, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Proper remodeling of the extracellular matrix is essential to support overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy.

Throughout the history of neuroscience, the understanding of human movement has depended, in part, on our ability to measure the firings of \u03b1 motoneurons, the final common pathway of inputs from the central nervous system to the muscle fibers they innervate. The study of these anatomical pathways, collectively referred to as the motor unit, and their resulting action potentials in the electromyographic signal has been established as a viable means of interrogating the neuromuscular system. Historically, the process of identifying these action potentials \u2013 whether visually or by means of computer algorithms \u2013 has generally been limited to low force isometric or cyclo-stationary contractions, due to the computational and algorithmic intractability of processing dynamic surface EMG signals, which are nonstationary and contain larger numbers of motor units. In this talk, we will present recent advances in neural interface technology that provides access to real-time motor unit information during dynamic movements and their applications in exercise and rehabilitation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The CHPS Hologram Keynote Lecture \u2013 Exercise Oncology from Bench Top to Bedside” tab_id=”1675255510043-e4b2504b-8ce5″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Robert Newton, Ph.D., DSc, AEP, CSCS*D, FACSM, ESSAF, FNSCA<\/p>\n

The relationship between physical activity, cancer progression and survival is well-established and we are rapidly increasing knowledge of the mechanisms underlying exercise as a medicine for neoadjuvant, adjuvant and rehabilitation therapy within cancer supportive care. Such understanding is essential to optimally describe exercise mode, intensity, volume and timing as well as potentially inform development of new exogenous pharmaceutical agents. Targeted exercise ameliorates many side effects of traditional cancer treatments and actually enhances the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy. In this presentation we will explore some of the mechanisms by which exercise directly influences cancer biology as well as the pragmatic implementation of exercise medicine for patients with cancer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Creatine Supplementation for Health and Clinical Diseases” tab_id=”1675255510236-d0f48393-4fbd”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Richard B.

Creatine supplementation is one of the most studied and effective ergogenic aids for athletes. The multifaceted mechanisms by which creatine exerts its beneficial effect include increasing anaerobic energy capacity, increasing protein synthesis, and decreasing protein breakdown, leading to increased muscle mass and physical performance. While these well-recognized creatine effects benefit the athlete, creatine may also serve as a potential clinical and therapeutic supplementary treatment to conventional medical interventions. Several studies have examined the effects on conditions such as diabetes, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, cancer, rehabilitation, and pulmonary and cardiovascular health. This lecture aims to provide comprehensive reviews of creatine supplementation effects for health and clinical diseases.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Going without O2 to Enhance Physiology and Physical Fitness” tab_id=”1675255510428-f7226e32-8cd2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Fran\u00e7ois Billaut, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

Oxygen is critical to human survival; therefore, our bodies have developed sophisticated multicellular mechanisms and organismal reflexes to adapt to oxygen deficiency \u2013 hypoxia. Research has shown that exposure to moderate doses of hypoxia can enhance several physiological functions as well as physical fitness. This presentation will discuss the scientific bases for hypoxic and ischemic conditioning modalities as they relate to health and sport performance, and provide practical applications for safe and efficient implementation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The IEPRS Distinguished Alumni Lecture \u2013 A Longitudinal Examination of Health and Performance Factors of a Division I Cross-Country Team” tab_id=”1675255510627-519f1f59-2215″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by William McCormack, Ph.D., ACSM-CEP<\/p>\n

A commonly overlooked aspect of musculoskeletal injury is the nervous system\u2019s contributions to primary injury and how the nervous system responds after injury. This is due in part to limitations in technology to directly measure the nervous system in relation to orthopedic injury and motor control. Over the past several years our lab and others have had breakthroughs to quantify the nervous system contributions to orthopedic injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and implications on sensorimotor function. The neuroplasticity associated with musculoskeletal trauma includes increased cortical and depressed cerebellar activity and connectivity to regulate movement and altered sensory integration, allowing compensatory nervous system reorganization that can impair performance when attempting return-to-sport. Rehabilitation techniques will be discussed that\u00a0include:\u00a0motor learning methods, low-cost smartphone virtual reality, sensory reweighting, augmented reality biofeedback, and enriched environment techniques that leverage the neuroplastic capacity of the nervous system to facilitate motor control improvement, reduce injury risk and improve patient outcomes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch the recording” style=”custom” custom_background=”#dd3333″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”xs” align=”left” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-play” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2F5I5wauKZh_0|target:_blank|rel:nofollow”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Dynamic Cerebrovascular Response during Acute Exercise following Stroke” tab_id=”1646668782423-cbcdb726-5788″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Sandra A Billinger, PT, Ph.D., FAHA – University of Kansas Medical Center<\/p>\n

Aerobic exercise benefits cardiovascular health and walking performance after stroke. We lack understanding in how exercise interventions may support brain health and secondary stroke prevention. Our current work studies the cerebrovascular response to an acute bout of exercise. Understanding the acute exercise response may inform benefit after longer exercise interventions. Our long-term goal in this line of research is to fully understand the role of exercise prescription parameters on stroke recovery and translate this knowledge into effective therapeutic strategies for stroke rehabilitation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch the recording” style=”custom” custom_background=”#dd3333″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”xs” align=”left” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-play” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FCBBZ59ujgyc|target:_blank|rel:nofollow”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Pain Neuroscience Education \u2013 Teaching People About Pain” tab_id=”1646668782595-6357f546-4af0″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Adriaan Louw, PT, Ph.D. – Evidence in Motion\/University of Nevada, Las Vegas<\/p>\n

In recent years, pain neuroscience education (PNE) emerged as a viable treatment for persistent pain. Current best-evidence supports its ability to ease pain, disability, fear-avoidance, catastrophizing and limited movement. Additionally, it has been shown that PNE\u2019s efficacy increases with the addition treatments commonly used by rehabilitation providers including exercises, manual therapy, mindfulness, relaxation, sleep hygiene and more. This presentation will showcase the evolution,\u00a0evidence\u00a0and clinical application of pain neuroscience education.

Cancer and its treatments are associated with a variety of physiological and psychosocial impairments such as the loss of bone and muscle. Left untreated, these result in an exponential decline in physical function and an increased risk of developing comorbidities and ultimately, mortality. It has been increasingly recognized that the distinct physiological impairments from different tumor and their anti-cancer therapies, require targeted interventions to arrest and reverse these changes. The lecture will cover provide an overview of the current evidence and rationale for the investigation of resistance training in cancer and present areas of future research.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch the recording” style=”custom” custom_background=”#dd3333″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”xs” align=”left” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-play” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2F-mNPx3Uddfo|target:_blank|rel:nofollow”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Training for the Moon” tab_id=”1646668783129-73398ff6-bb24″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Meghan Downs, Ph.D. – NASA Johnson Space Center<\/p>\n

Microgravity is an atrophic environment and significant losses in aerobic fitness, muscle strength, and bone health occur if exercise countermeasures are not adequate. In the next few years astronauts will return to the lunar surface where they will live and explore for increasingly longer durations. Space exploration beyond low-earth orbit will be more physically and cognitively demanding due to the partial gravity environment, more frequent extravehicular activity (EVA), communication delays, food systems, and landing scenarios. The current International Space Station (ISS) exercise hardware is not fully protective but is sufficient to maintain ISS microgravity task performance requirements. New exploration vehicles and habitats will be smaller than ISS and will not have the space for the ISS hardware. As a result, new more robust and smaller exercise hardware and software systems are needed to support human performance in exploration spaceflight. This presentation will provide an update on the current state of knowledge of physiological adaptations to spaceflight and the challenges to optimizing astronaut performance capabilities as we enter the exploration era of spaceflight.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch the recording” style=”custom” custom_background=”#dd3333″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”xs” align=”left” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-play” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fa–9o6GpA34|target:_blank|rel:nofollow”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”When \u201cKeeping it Simple\u201d is not Simple!

Mixed martial arts (MMA) represents one of the most complex challenges in athlete preparation with respect to the technical, tactical, physical, physiological, psychological and nutritional requirements needed for success. For these reasons, preparing MMA athletes for competition requires a comprehensive understanding of not only the competition itself, but the respective attributes of each athlete and the means by which they can succeed. This includes a comprehensive awareness of both strength\/power characteristics as well as energy systems and bioenergetics, and the sensitivity to make acute physiological adaptations via appropriate training interventions necessary for competition (e.g., opponent fight style, fight tactics). This presentation will explore the complexity of the physiological considerations that need to be made in supporting the world\u2019s best combat athletes for the most demanding competition arena in all of sport.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch the recording” style=”custom” custom_background=”#dd3333″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”xs” align=”left” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-play” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FacRAxN6zwMM|target:_blank|rel:nofollow”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”High Intensity Interval Training \u2013 From Rehabilitation to Performance” tab_id=”1646668783511-3b12d281-e5bb”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Presented by Abbie Smith-Ryan, Ph.D., FNSCA, FACSM, FISSN – University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill<\/p>\n
