#EatingHealthy: Can Nutrition Apps Do the Job?

We’ve all seen the increase in the number of available apps to monitor lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity, sleep and stress. There is also clear interest in apps that monitor diet and nutrition. So, how do you know if a nutrition app will be helpful? In the last few years, millions of users have downloaded and […]

The Importance of Sleep for Health

When we think about the most important actions that we can take to protect our health, we usually consider behaviors such as partaking in regular physical activity or eating a nutritious diet. Yet, an often-overlooked aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is sleep. Sleep has serious implications for your physical and mental health. Adequate sleep […]

Stay Active to Reduce Blood Pressure

Physical activity can help to prevent hypertension and control blood pressure by strengthening the heart, contributing to a healthy weight, and reducing stress.

Exercising Your Way to Lowering Your Blood Pressure

February is American Heart Month, and it’s a great time to learn about how you can effectively lower high blood pressure through regular exercise and other healthy lifestyle choices. Donna Cataldo, PhD, and colleagues have developed this up-to-date handout with information on the F.I.T.T. (frequency, intensity, type and time) recommendations for exercising for heart health.

The Peer Review Process

A scientific journal will enter your manuscript into a rigorous review by subject matter experts (your peers) prior to accepting the manuscript for publication.

Moving with Arthritis

Monitoring Aerobic Exercise Intensity

Substantial health benefits are gained when adults achieve 150-300 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise, or 75-150 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise per week. Several tools and methods are used to monitor exercise intensity.

GSSI Pre-Conference

The Physiology of Hydration: More Than Water Alone

This session explores the physiology of hydration through an integrated lens—examining how carbohydrate, sodium, flavor, and fluid interact to influence intake, absorption, retention, and performance. We’ll review current research on fluid balance, osmotic drivers, and palatability, highlighting mechanisms that underpin voluntary intake and thermoregulation. Attendees will gain insight into individualized strategies, including sweat profiling and timing approaches, to optimize euhydration and mitigate performance decrements associated with >2% body-mass loss. Practical applications will be linked to laboratory- and field-based research, ensuring translation from bench to field. This pre-conference equips you with evidence-based tools to support athlete hydration across diverse environments and sporting contexts.
