Dr. Nicole Culos-Reed 

Dr. S. Nicole Culos-Reed is a Professor in Health and Exercise Psychology in the Faculty of Kinesiology, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Oncology in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary. Nicole also holds a Research Associate appointment with the Department of Psychosocial Resources, Tom Baker Cancer Centre. Nicole is a health behaviour change researcher, interested in the uptake and maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviours to enhance well-being and promote quality of life across healthy and chronic disease populations. As the Director of the Health & Wellness Lab, her research group primarily examines the role of physical activity on the quality of life of cancer survivors. In particular, her research focuses on bridging the translation from best evidence to best practice, utilizing an interdisciplinary perspective to develop, research and disseminate physical activity programs that positively impact the myriad of physical and psychosocial factors that cancer survivors experience. Putting research into practice, Nicole is also the Director of the Thrive Centre, a free fitness facility for cancer survivors at the University of Calgary, 100% supported by a group of passionate trained student volunteers that serves the local cancer survivor community. Nicole’s lab also directs numerous community outreach programming, including Yoga Thrive (yoga for cancer survivors), exercise programming at Wellspring Calgary (a cancer support service), and community-based cancer exercise programs through partnerships with the YMCA and City of Calgary Recreation. To support these outreach initiatives, Nicole has developed a “Cancer and Exercise Training for Fitness Professionals” that has been used to train over 250 professionals to date. Nicole has funding support from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), Wings of Hope, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Prostate Cancer Canada, The Movember Foundation, and the Alberta Cancer Foundation. More information on her research program can be found at www.thriveforcancersurvivors.com.

Session: Sweat, Step, Sleep, Sit: Canada's 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth 

In June 2016 CSEP released the world’s first evidence-based movement guidelines for Children and Youth for the whole day. In this session Jessica will discuss the current research and review the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines: An Integration of Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour and Sleep. She will provide insight along with tools on how to empower Children and Youth to sweat, step, sleep and sit the right amounts for a healthy 24-hours. Evidence suggest that Children and Youth who follow the guidelines will help reduce their risk for chronic disease, have a more focused mind, a strong fit body, and a more satisfying life.

Session: Key Performance Lifts and Monitoring Program Change

Information from lab based performance tests must be related to the daily training environment and essentially translated to executable methods to produce adaptation/ change.  How do we translate that information to a training program and ensure progress throughout the program until the next testing session?  Through this workshop we will explore the process of data acquisition to the execution on the daily training environment floor and the trials and tribulations of this process.
 

Erin Sargeant

Erin Sargent, MKin, CSEP-CEP, is a Level 2 ISAK certified Anthropometrist. Erin was a professor at Niagara College for 10 years with the Fitness and Health Promotion program and the Exercise Science for Health and Performance graduate certificate.

She is also the lead anthropometrist, performing over 1500 assessments each year on both development and high performance athletes.

Session: Accurate Anthropometry 

This session will be both theoretical and allow for practical skill development.

There are many methods used to measure body composition and girths and skinfolds are still some of the most cost effective and accurate ways to track your clients’ progress. Anthropometry has many uses from monitoring your client’s fitness and/or nutritional status, tracking the growth of children/young athletes, as well as performance profiling in the world of sport. However, using anthropometric measures requires the practitioner to be both accurate and precise. During this session, you will have the opportunity to practice your skills, receive feedback, and determine what the best measures are for your clientele.
