ACSM's From Around the Field: The Neurobiology of Physical Activity Motivation
Thursday, November 16, 2023 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. EDT
This webinar will discuss the widespread issue of physical inactivity and its biological underpinnings. Dr. Letsinger will provide an overview of the biological promoters of physical activity and how wheel-running mice are an effective model to better understand these mechanisms.
Objectives:
After participation, the attendee should be able to:
1. Highlight the link between food and physical activity
2. Introduce the advanced techniques used in neuroscience and genetics
3. Discuss the increased focus in neurobiology in kinesiology research
Presenter:
Ayland Letsinger, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
About the presenter
Dr. Ayland Letsinger is an up-and-coming scientist combining exercise physiology and neurobiology. He earned his PhD from Texas A&M University, where he conducted research under the guidance of the distinguished ACSM fellow Dr. Tim Lightfoot. As of 2023, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences with Drs. Jerrel Yakel and Guohong Cui where he studies the neurobiological regulation of physical activity, employing state-of-the-art in vivo neuroscience and genetic techniques. With a mission to transform the way people perceive and engage in physical activity, Dr. Letsinger is driven to make movement more intrinsically rewarding. Before immersing himself in research, Dr. Letsinger applied his knowledge practically, working as a personal trainer with a specialized focus on corrective exercise for aging adults. He now serves as the ACSM chair for the Strategic Health Initiative on Aging. Dr. Letsinger's favorite form of physical activity is hiking alongside his wife, Dr. Sarah Little-Letsinger.
