Track 2: Exercise and Fitness: Physiology & Metabolism

Functioning of the body during exercise The body response to the exercise in such a way that there's the red face and the sweating, the pounding heart and pumping lungs, the boost to your alertness and mood, the previously nonexistent urges to talk about nothing but splits and laps and PBs, Muscle Stretching Workshops. Role of hormones in muscular growth and fitness hormones play a vital role for the development of the body size shape and strength. GH, or the growth hormone is well helping to maintain an optimal ratio of lean muscle tissue to body fat. It’s VERY important to have good GH levels in order to live healthy, both mentally and of course, physically. Exercise physiology is the study of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to a wide range of physical exercise conditions. Kinetics during rest and exercise In addition, many exercise physiologists study the effect of exercise on pathology, kinetics during rest and exercise, and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progression 

Track: 3 Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy

Physiotherapy tends to be more focused on evaluating and diagnosing movement dysfunctions as well as treating a person’s injury itself. While an occupational therapy will often also do diagnosis, the physical therapist will be more likely to diagnose and treat the physical source of the problem; the injured tissues and structures. Cardiovascular and Conditioning Physical Therapy: Sports Cardio conditioning improves circulation and strengthens the heart, lungs and blood vessels. It builds endurance and strength for the heart muscle, whether a person is well or recovering from a disease or injury Innovative Exercise Workshops. Importance of cardio in exercise it conditions the heart to work more efficiently, which helps prevent heart attacks or other heart ailments. It also increases oxygen to the blood, strengthens the heart and lungs, improves energy levels, burns calories and reduces cholesterol. Yoga and physical therapy is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. Physical therapy or physiotherapy and Mental Therapy Workshops (often abbreviated to PT) (also known as Movement Scientist) is a Rehabilitation profession that remediates impairments and promotes mobility, function, and quality of life through examination, diagnosis, prognosis, and physical intervention. 

Track 4: Orthopedics Treatments

Foot, ankle, hip, Knee, shoulder & neck injuries Sports injuries are injuries that happen when playing sports or exercising. Some are from accidents. Others can result from poor training practices or improper gear. The most common sports injuries are Sprains, strains, Foot, ankle, hip, Knee, shoulder & neck. Acute and chronic injuries There are two kinds of sports injuries: acute and chronic. Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising and the reason for the chronic injury could also be the same but the severity is more. We have many Injury Cause Symposiums and workshop. Emergency sports medicines a physician with special knowledge in sports medicine is responsible for continuous care in the field of sports medicine. These medicines are very much important for the athlete. Sports medicine is a subspecialty of emergency medicine, family practice, internal medicine, or pediatrics. Surgical and non-surgical treatments Non-Surgical Treatment Options: Surgery is not the appropriate or preferred treatment for some of the injuries. Physical therapy and non-surgical options can often get you back to a healthy, active lifestyle. Surgical Options:  Surgery is required for few chronic sports injuries like more complex spinal procedures and total joint replacements.

Track 5: Sports Injury, Pain and Treatments

Track 6: Sports Nutrition and Supplements

Essential nutrients and supplements are very much important in sports, the more intense the exercise or sport, the greater the body's nutrient needs. Athletes who participate in endurance sports have specific needs because of what they demand from their bodies. The first seven essential supplements are the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, sodium and zinc. Their benefits range from keeping bones strong to minimizing fatigue. Importance of proteins, minerals and water The RDA for protein is 60 mg per day for adults (specifically 0.8 g/kg of body weight/day). This recommendation, however, is based on the needs of sedentary individuals. Good hydration before, during and after exercise is very important. Isotonic drinks contain electrolytes and simple carbohydrates and are therefore recommended. Alcohol should not be drunk. Eating habits of individual athlete Physical performance is closely linked to nutrition, as a sports person with a healthy diet and good training will obtain better results in a competition than those individuals with the same qualities but an inadequate diet. 

Track 7: Sports Psychology and Skills Acquisition

The use of psychological strategies and psychotherapy to improve sports performance has increased significantly over the past few decades. Coaches have realized that, particularly at elite level psychology plays a key role in determining the level of performance. The ability of the mind to generate thought patterns, influence emotions, stimulates or diminishes arousal and creates images of a desired action. Behavioral biomechanical and neural bases of development it aims to understand how human movement patterns are changed in characteristic ways when different emotions are expressed in healthy individuals and in individuals with mood disorders. Athletes need to be able to prepare for major competitions, reduce tension and stress that may have cause a decline in performance, and maintain high-level performances over a long period of time. Motivation is what drives behavior and is very important for athlete's to reach an optimal level of performance. Biomechanics to enhance sports performances Biomechanics is a tool to understand human movement that can be applied to enhance athletic performance and prevent injury. Performance of a skill can be broken down into multiple layers of components, ranging from muscle strength to joint trajectories. Tools to measure human movement include video, accelerometry, medical imaging, and 3-D motion capture. Optimal movement is affected by body size and shape. Elite athletes move optimally and this knowledge can be used to coach and train others.

Track 8: Sports Dentistry

Sports Dentistry is the treatment and prevention of oral/facial athletic injuries and related oral diseases and manifestations. 15 million Americans suffer dental injuries and 5 million teeth are lost annually in sports-related injuries. During a single athletic season, athletes have a 1 in 10 chance of suffering a facial or dental injury. In fact, the lifetime risk of such an injury is estimated to be about 45% according to the National Youth Sports Foundation. Dentistry plays a large role in treating oral and craniofacial injuries resulting from sporting activities. Many athletes are not aware of the health implications of a traumatic injury to the mouth or of the potential for incurring severe head and orofacial injuries while playing. The dentist can play an imperative role in informing athletes, coaches and patients about the importance of preventing orofacial injuries in sports. The aim of this paper is to increase professional awareness and interest for orientation toward sports dentistry. The most important aspect in preventing sports-related orofacial injuries is wearing basic protective devices such as properly-fitting helmets, facemasks and/or mouth guards. Perhaps the single most important piece of oral/facial protective equipment is a properly fitted mouth guard. Mouth guards should be worn when there is a possibility of body-to-body or body-to-equipment contact. Mouthguards help prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, gingiva, tongue, and mucosa.

Track 9: Doping and Anti-Doping Study

The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Prohibited List is the comprehensive document serving as the international standard for identifying substances and methods prohibited in sport. Usage of anabolic steroids and its impact on health Anabolic steroids” is the familiar name for synthetic variants of the male sex hormone testosterone. Anabolic steroids can be legally prescribed to treat conditions resulting from steroid hormone deficiency, such as delayed puberty, as well as diseases that result in loss of lean muscle mass, such as cancer and AIDS. But some athletes, bodybuilders, and others abuse these drugs in an attempt to enhance performance and/or improve their physical appearance. Drug testing techniques in sports are the techniques used to check the sports drug consumed by the athlete before or after the performance, Mass spectroscopy and gas chromatography may be the grey beards of sports drug testing, but their evolved forms can still snare you a cheat. Laws and ethics of sports: Sports law is the body of legal issues at work in the world of both amateur and professional sports. Sports law overlaps substantially with labor law, contract law, competition or antitrust law, and tort law.

Track 10: Computer Science in Sports Science

Electronic sports (also known as eSports, e-sports is a term for organized multiplayer video game competitions. The most common video game genres associated with electronic sports are real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter, and multiplayer online battle arena. Tournaments such as the League of Legends World Championship, The increasing availability of online video streaming platforms, particularly Twitch.tv, has become central to current eSports competitions Sports instrument equipment research With the development of the modern science and technology, new and high technology and the electronic instrument and equipment has been widely used in the referee work of the large scale track and field matches. Many sports instrument and equipment researches are going on for the improvement of the performance.

Track 13: Natural and Herbal Medicine for Sports

Plant medicine and plant extracts in osteoarthritis Limitations in the conventional medical management of osteoarthritis indicate a real need for safe and effective treatment of osteoarthritis patients. Herbal medicines may provide a solution to this problem. Herbal medicines may treat these conditions effectively. Historically, people have used herbal medicines to prevent illness, cure infection, relieve fever, and heal wounds. Herbal medicines can also treat constipation, ease pain, or act as relaxants or stimulants. Research on some herbs and plant products has shown that they may have some of the same effects that conventional medicines do, while others may have no effect or may be harmful. Researchers have studied some natural products and have found them to be useful. Omega-3 fatty acids, for example, may help lower triglyceride levels. These medicine and ailments are useful in the treatments of many orthopedic and sports injuries.
