TOS/ACSM Joint Symposium: Physical Activity Timing and the Circadian Clock - Implications for Obesity Prevention and Treatment
When: Wednesday, 11/2/2022, 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Where: San Diego Convention Center-30ABCDE
Description: Physical activity is a key element of interventions for body weight regulation, and this most typically has been linked to its effects on enhancing energy expenditure and contributing to negative energy balance. However, other factors related to physical activity may also contribute to it benefits on the regulation of body weight. One area of increased interest is the timing of when physical activity is performed and how this may be associated with weight loss and body weight regulation. This may be related to the effects that physical activity has on circadian rhythm and its potential influence on resetting of the circadian clock. Moreover, this may have particular implications for interventions for the treatment of obesity and how physical activity is integrated into these interventions. This session will focus on these important research and clinical areas and include examination of the potential underpinnings of how physical activity may include circadian rhythms and the circadian clock, along with how the timing of physical activity may influence body weight regulation.

This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

Learning Objectives:
1. Apply the latest recommendations for evaluation and treatment; tailor intervention strategies based on patient characteristics such as age or metabolic or behavioral phenotype; understand the differences between weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
2. Understand the evidence-based science regarding neuroendocrine, environmental, endocrine, microbiota and/or cognitive behavioral mechanisms regulating energy balance and body weight. Apply that knowledge to develop and implement treatment options for adults and pediatric patients with overweight, obesity or obesity-related co-morbidities.
5. Apply new knowledge related to dietary intervention and physical activity from the perspectives of Metabolism and Integrative Physiology, Neuroscience, Intervention and Clinical Studies, Population Health, Clinical/Professional Practice, and Policy/Public Health.
