Hello To All!
Summer has officially started & the 4th of July holiday is right around the corner. Have a fun and safe time everyone!
The month of June included the American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. It was, as usual, a GREAT event. This was the first year of the combined ACSM & Exercise Is Medicine meeting. Going with the theme that “Exercise Is Medicine”, many of the keynote speakers, including the Surgeon General of the United States, stressed the importance of regular physical activity. My favorite speaker was Dr. Jeff Koplan from Emory University School of Medicine who described the secret conspiracy of making the U.S.A. as physically inactive as possible – complete with photographic evidence such as these pictures:
Very clever – and sadly accurate.
At ACSM I was also able to present the first peer-reviewed abstract from my ongoing Falls Prevention project at University of San Francisco. Data from these participants have proven our 12-week exercise program to be a great way to reduce falls risk in older fallers. Take a look by downloading our PDF!
Here is a handout for patients/family members/clients that you might know who need some work on their balance – these are now PROVEN TO WORK!
Next step in our research is following up for a year with our participants & hoping to see less falls than before they started the program.
Keep on coming back for more updates & don’t forget to visit my website at www.thompsonfitnesssolutions.com!
Happy 4th of July everyone!
