Learn more about how we are on the cutting edge of the science of
healthy air travel and the role that exercise and physical activity
plays in commercial flight. You will be able to find information on
physical activity amenities at U.S. hub airports as well as news about
our involvement with the American Fitness Index.
Educational
Initiatives
Do you want to know more about physical activity opportunities

impact of jet lag on athletic performance? All of these questions
can be answered by checking out some of the presentations we have
produced or co-produced since 2007. Stay tuned for even more good
information to be shared in 2010!
Practical
Application of Exercise Science
Our most exciting Task Force objective! This page tells
you more about our airport walking program and how you can implement one
at an airport near you. Designed especially for the busy airport
executive, we can show YOU how to turn layovers into workouts and help
disgruntled passengers blow off some steam in a healthy way. Better
yet, let us implement the program for you! Click on this link to
see how.
Although the
American College of Sports Medicine Task Force on Healthy Air
Travel is brand new, we are already making news. Be sure to learn
more about our efforts under “Task
Force News” where you will find press releases and
details about the partnerships we are developing throughout the
commercial air travel industry.
Finally, allow
us to introduce ourselves as your Task
Force – a talented group of health scientists dedicated
to improving the health of the flying public through physical activity
and good nutrition.
