61. LETNO SREČANJE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS
MEDICINE (ACSM)
Orlando, Florida, 27.-31. maj 2014
61. Letno srečanje American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) je potekalo med 27.-31. majem 2014 v kongresnem centru Orange County v Orlandu, Florida. Na kongresu je sodelovalo skoraj 5000 ljudi s celega sveta, zaradi česar je kongres predstavljal enkratno priložnost za predstavitve na najvišji ravni, srečanja z raziskovalci z različnih področij in mreženje znanstvenikov s področja medicine športa. Letni kongres je imel za cilj prenos znanja na različnih ravneh, kot so medicina športa z vidika biomehanike, psihologije in biologije tako v normalnih kot tudi patoloških stanjih. Zdravniki in znanstveniki so poudarili pomen primerne telesne in kognitivne aktivnosti tekom celotnega življenja kot tudi preventive za tiste bolezni in stanja, ki izhajajo iz same telesne in kognitivne neaktivnosti.
Letnega srečanja ACSM sva se udeležila dva predstavnika Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave Znanstveno-raziskovalnega središča Univerze na Primorskem. V sekciji z naslovom Nevroznanost in Kakovostno staranje sva predstavila del rezultatov standardnega čezmejnega sodelovanja Slovenija-Italija 2007-2013 PANGeA: Telesna aktivnost in prehrana za kakovostno staranje.
Naslednje leto bo 62. Letni kongres ACSM potekal med 26. in 30. majem v San Diegu, Kalifornija, ZDA.
