Purpose
The purpose of the “Restoration and Recovery” symposium is to present a comprehensive current understanding of scientific basis and practice for “recovery and repair” following strength and conditioning workouts and sport competition. This will allow strength and conditioning and sports medicine professionals the opportunity to better understand and deal with the physiological and practical aspects of these processes which are the most important in sports today.
Goals
The goals of the symposium are:
- To educate the attendees the latest theories and rationales behind the effects of workouts and competition on damage processes in the body
- To overview the major challenges to repair and remodeling of tissue
- To provide insights and ideas for addressing recovery and restoration therapeutic techniques from nutrition and sports medicine modalities.
- To highlight best practices related to the sports medical care following competitions.
- To highlight the importance of rest and recovery for eliciting maximum performance gains.
- To identify any sport specific and individual needs and discuss how those needs will impact a program design.
Target groups
This symposium is geared towards the intermediate to advanced strength and conditioning professional and sports medicine professionals and support personnel involved with serving athletes or anyone where recovery is vital to optimizing successful programs for the teams and/or athletes they work with.
Schedule
The Restoration and Recovery Symposium is designed to provide opportunities to learn the latest theories on the physical challenges related to recovery of the athlete from workout and competition and then apply that theory in a practical way. Much of the information surrounding the topics of restoration, recovery and repair of tissue is theory-based but the practical care and approach to optimizing training to enhance recovery will be addressed. There will be many opportunities to interact with the presenters and other attendees.
Note: It is important to note that while certain lectures have been given specific names, there is a lot of “flexibility” in how these topics will be implemented and discussed.
