The smartphone in your pocket right now has over 1 million times the computing power that NASA used to put a man on the moon in 1969. We use our phones countless times per day as alarm clocks, music players, GPS devices, communication devices, ways to stay connected using social media, and much much more. But what if we used that computing power to help our clients live a healthier life? During this workshop, participants will learn the history of disruptive health technology, ways to use this technology with their clients as well as some of the concerns and solutions when using technology. Let's make better health for all our generation's moon shot.

Physical activity is essential for bone health. The most compelling evidence for this is the rapid and profound bone loss that occurs during conditions of extreme physical inactivity (e.g., bed rest, limb immobilization). However, the optimal exercise prescription to increase or maintain bone mass and strength in adults remains uncertain. This lecture will discuss which components of an exercise program (i.e., mode, intensity, frequency, duration) are important for stimulating an anabolic response in bone, and will also present emerging evidence that exercise can invoke a potent catabolic skeletal response.
