PATH 6th Annual Symposium
Optimizing musculoskeletal health in an aging population
Musculoskeletal health is critical for maintaining mobility, independence and well-being as we age. Exercise and nutrition can help protect and restore muscle and bone strength and are promising strategies in the prevention and treatment of prevalent age-related musculoskeletal conditions including osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and fractures.
This year's edition of the º«¹úÂãÎè Research Centre for Physical Activity and Health (PATH) symposium will (i) engage researchers, clinicians, educators, and trainees from a variety of disciplines including Kinesiology, Geriatric Medicine, Human Nutrition, and Endocrinology & Metabolism; and (ii) showcase emerging musculoskeletal health and aging research through a series of presentations that address the following themes:
Fundamental determinants of musculoskeletal aging and health;
Influence of exercise and nutrition on muscle, bone and joint health;
Clinical management of musculoskeletal disorders in an aging population;
Exercise and nutrition programming for older adults in health care and community settings.
Speakers: Prof. Jenna Gibbs, Prof. Tyler Churchward-Venne, Dr. Suzanne N. Morin, Prof. Stéphanie Chevalier & Dr. Mathieu Maltais
