Skeletal muscle is increasingly understood as much more than simply a means to achieve movement.
Emerging perspectives highlight the importance of skeletal muscle as an organ system with endocrine, metabolic and homeostatic functions vital for health and wellbeing.
Significant benefits to health can be gained from maintaining and strengthening skeletal muscle.
This session explores the traditional and extended understandings of the role of skeletal muscle with emphasis on practical nutritional and exercise measures to conserve, enhance and optimise skeletal muscle structure and function.
In this lecture, you will learn about the common definitions of fatigue before understanding how different mechanisms of fatigue can be measured using
lab-based stimulation techniques.
Thereafter, the interplay of such mechanisms of fatigue will be covered, I will use an evidenced-based approach to cover athletic performance, sex differences, and extreme environments (altitude & heat).
Most of the data will be drawn from the sport science area but inferences will be made to clinical populations throughout.
Whether you're a physical therapist, athlete, coach, or fitness professional, understanding training specificity is critical to optimising movement performance and recovery. This lecture dives deep into the principles of specificity - how training that closely mimics your goal activity can dramatically enhance outcomes, while poorly matched interventions can stall progress or even lead to injury.
Known as 'the powerhouse of the cell' mitochondria are crucial cellular components responsible for energy release from food, cell signalling and metabolic regulation. This talk will explore the latest understandings of the role of mitochondria in ageing, human well-being, performance and cancer. In addition, the role of diet and exercise in optimising mitochondrial number and function will be discussed.
This event will introduce the field of functional neurosurgery, where targeted incisionless interventions within neural circuits are used to modulate brain function and treat disorders of movement, pain, and mood.
The session will focus on how these interventions work, when referral is appropriate, and what is known about their safety and effectiveness.
Special attention will be given to focused ultrasound - a technology that combines imaging and energy delivery to offer functional neurosurgeons a precise, incisionless therapeutic option.
A unique opportunity to join Professor Laurie Hartman, a leading authority in manipulative therapy, for an intensive Upper Body Manipulation Master Class. This course offers hands-on training in advanced manipulative techniques focusing on the cervical and thoracic spine, as well as the shoulder girdle. It is designed for experienced practitioners who look to advance their manipulative skills. The programme emphasises precision, safety, and efficacy in treatment. Participants will enhance their diagnostic skills and therapeutic approaches under Professor Hartman's expert guidance.
In a two-part course series on psychosomatic osteopathy Torsten Liem teaches effective practical approaches to the treatment of complex complaints and dysfunctional soma-physiological-experiential-context patterns seen in the osteopathic clinic.
