Grateful to all our amazing poster presenters at #NASPEM2024! Here are a few of the many talented researchers sharing their work with our pediatric exercise science community.

Thank you to the Kentucky Derby Museum for having us last night for dinner! #NASPEM2024 attendees had so much fun learning about The Kentucky Derby, doing some virtual horse racing, and dabbling in some "betting" on the ponies. 🏇🏿🏇🏽🏇

The final day of #NASPEM2024 began with the inaugural Frank Zaldivar Exercise as Medicine Memorial Lecture. Dr. Naomi Gauthier of Boston Children's presented on the application of exercise science to children and youth with chronic health conditions.

Another fascinating talk given by Dave White at #NASPEM2024. This time, he presents on the evolving paradigm of frailty among youth with chronic disease.

Our final free communication session of #NASPEM2024 begins with a presentation from Dr. Takeshi Tsuda from Nemours Children’s Cardiac Center on the physiological characterization of physical deconditioning by CPTE in healthy nonobese adolescents.

Does maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing data utilizing the Bruce Protocol differ between adolescent and young adult patients? Brittany Holst from Lurie Children's answers that question at #NASPEM2024.

Dr. Brad Robinson from Nemours Children’s Cardiac Center presents on how reporting from pediatric exercise labs can be improved utilizing database standardization. #NASPEM2024

#ExerciseisMedicine. Dr. Abel Plaza-Florido of UC Irvine shares findings from a MoTrPAC study showing exercise training can improve monocyte transcriptome in adolescents with asthma. #NASPEM2024

Our final free communication presenter at #NASPEM2024 is Dr. Ranjit Philip from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center. He shares on how pediatric pectus excavatum cases need to consider more than just the Haller Index.

Mendonça et al found that the sedentary behavior generally does not seem to contribute to significant changes in cardiometabolic markers in adolescents, despite it being associated with increased systolic blood pressure levels. doi.org/10.1123/pes.20…

📚PES Volume 36 Issue 3 is now available online at journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/… Latest studies on: (a) the unique aspects of the physiologic and physical responses of children to exercise, (b) participation in sports may be made safer and more enjoyable for children and youth.

Souilla et al. provide a commentary that outlines basic thermoregulatory concepts relevant to the healthy pediatric population and summarizes common heart diseases observed in this population. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

In a meta-analysis, Fernandes et al found that the magnitude of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in youths is substantially less than in their adult counterparts, and this effect is greater in upper than lower limbs for muscle soreness. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Grishin et al conducted a study aimed to deliver an 8-week virtual exercise program in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Litwin et al found that in young at-risk children, MVPA is associated with cardiovascular remodeling, partly in a sex-dependant way, likely representing physiological adaptation. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Schmid et al conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of physical activity on children’s free recall, cued recall, and recognition episodic memory and to explore potential moderating factors. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

📢📢📢Attention authors! Please note that the reference style for PES has been updated from Vancouver to AMA. 📝 🌟Make sure to review the updated guidelines before submitting your work: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Ren et al. found that their artificial intelligence-based training solution improves training efficiency and reduces the training burden on adolescents. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…
