TOS/ACSM Joint Symposium: Advancing Physical Activity as an Effective Intervention for Obesity and the Weight Reduced State
When: Friday, 11/5/2021, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Description:
What works in weight regulation through physical activity? Explore how and when physical activity is performed, potential influences of light-intensity physical activity, alternative types of physical activity, and intervention strategies that may be effective at the community-level. Learn to appropriately match physical activity recommendations for obesity prevention and treatment through understanding the underlying biology. This session will help clinicians  refine the prescription of physical activity as an important lifestyle behavior for the prevention and treatment of obesity.

This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and 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.
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.
