Past ACSM Roundtables

There have been fourteen official ACSM Roundtables held since the first in 1992.  The purpose of the roundtables are to, among other things,  raise public awareness of critical issues in health and science and to increase visibility of ACSM as a leading organization in the areas of sports medicine and exercise science.  Currently there are several roundtables in the research and development pipeline.  These topics include supplements, exercise recommendations for cancer patients, weight management behaviors issues, youth health and activity related to physical education and pediatric and chronic disease.
