Interdisciplinary Strategies to Optimize Healthspan"

​
Registration is now open! This year's conference theme, "Exercise Science in the Era of Longevity: Interdisciplinary Strategies for Optimizing Healthspan," reflects one of the most exciting opportunities facing our profession today. Advances in healthcare, technology, and science continue to extend lifespan, but the true challenge, and opportunity, lies in helping individuals live healthier, stronger, and more fulfilling lives throughout those additional years. As exercise scientists, clinicians, educators, and health professionals, we are uniquely positioned to contribute to that goal.
 
Over this two-day conference, attendees will explore how exercise, nutrition, medicine, technology, and behavioral science intersect to influence healthspan across the lifespan. From youth development and athletic performance to healthy aging, menopause, cognition, chronic disease management, and emerging technologies, this year's program highlights the many ways our field continues to evolve while reinforcing the central role of movement and physical activity in promoting lifelong health.
