ACSM Annual Meeting 2019

The American College of Sports Medicine presents its annual congress on sports medicine, exercise science, and effects of physical activity next May in Orlando, USA. Hydration For Health is proud to hold a preconference session on May 28^th, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.

This year, the focus is on cognitive performance in children and adults, and how physical activity and hydration plays an essential role in this. This pre-conference is divided into 2 parts. The first part is a session dedicated to experts in their fields presenting the latest evidences of the topics. The second part is dedicated to the younger generation, giving young researchers the opportunity to present their research during the “Pitch Your Science!” contest.
