 | An Update on Caffeine and Exercise Performance
Industry Presented Webinar: An Update on Caffeine and Exercise Performance
1 CEC
Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute
Description
We’ve long known that caffeine has a positive effect on exercise, but it’s important to understand the details. For one, did you know that low doses (~200 mg) improve performance as much as higher ones? Learn about new areas of caffeine research, including mouth rinsing, alternative forms of delivery (e.g., gum, energy drinks, aerosols) and genetic diversity in caffeine response.
Learning Objectives
After participation, the attendee should understand that:
- Caffeine improves exercise performance in a large number of exercise and sporting situations;
- Caffeine’s ergogenic effect is mediated through interaction with the central and peripheral nervous systems;
- Caffeine may be taken in many doses and in many forms (e.g., coffee, tablets, gum, mouth rinse) and works for men and women; and
- Your genetics have some effect on your response to caffeine.

 | Industry Presented Webinar | Internal and External Load...
Industry Presented Webinar | Internal and External Load - Monitoring Strategies for Recovery and Strength throughout the Season
1 CEC
Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute
Course Description:
Monitoring training load and the athlete’s response to it may help optimize the athlete’s health, adaptations and readiness while potentially reducing the risk of injury during training and competition. Personalized load- monitoring approaches make sense because of the variability of training and competition demands across sports and positions. The time-course of recovery following competition varies by sport and experience of the athlete. Understanding your sport’s time-course of recovery is important for deciding when and how to monitor your athletes, and identifying behavior modification strategies based on internal and external load characteristics may help improve recovery across the competitive season.
Learning objectives:
After participation, attendees should be able to:
- Differentiate between internal and external load stressors on the athlete,
- Understand the importance of individualized differences, and
- Thoroughly review potential behaviors that mitigate recovery.

Negligence cases involving these legal liability risks and the “take away” lessons fitness managers can learn from these cases will be described.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will be able to:
- Identify five common legal liability risks facing fitness managers.
- Describe how legal liability risks led to negligence lawsuits.
- Implement effective strategies that can minimize legal liability risks.

 | Customizing the Exercise Prescription Relative to COVID-19
1 CEC
Description: COVID-19 has been characterized by a long list of symptoms of varying severity and the potential for these symptoms to linger indefinitely. While exercise has been widely used to bolster one’s health across various conditions, there has understandably been less clarity regarding its application across individuals recovering from a COVID-19 infection. While many individuals are able to quickly return to performing large volumes of activity, a subgroup of individuals continue to experience persistent fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog and exercise malaise which seemingly eliminates the possibility of returning to or adopting an active lifestyle. Although there is still much to learn about effectively individualizing the exercise prescription, this webinar will review current strategies and considerations for prescribing exercise to those in the post COVID-19 infection phase.
Objectives: After participation, the attendee should:
- understand how to characterize the severity of post COVID-infection symptoms.
- have an understanding of tests that can be used to identify long-COVID symptoms.
- understand the considerations for developing an exercise prescription relative to the individuals COVID infection severity.
- have an understanding of how to guide an individual with severe long-COVID symptoms through pacing.
Content: This course includes a prerecorded webinar and a corresponding online quiz.
