ACSM Conference on
Physical Activity,
Cognitive Function,
and Academic
Achievement
Moving Students to
Better Performance
November 17-18, 2011 • Washington, DC
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
SEPTEMBER 19, 2011
Coordinated by the American College
of Sports Medicine in partnership with:
More than 15 leading experts will
examine the past, current, and future
state of the promising connection
between physical activity and academic
achievement.
Innovative approaches to physical
activity, school policies, and academic
achievement will be showcased.
Friends and Colleagues:
On behalf of the Planning Committee and the
American College of Sports Medicine, it is
my pleasure to invite you to attend the 2011
Physical Activity, Cognitive Function, and
Academic Achievement Conference to be
held at the Capital Hilton in Washington,
DC on November 17-18, 2011. To emphasize
the rapid research developments in key areas
of physical activity, cognitive function, and
academic achievement, the program will
focus on the following major themes:
• Cognitive function
• Physical activity/exercise (sports, PE,
recess, etc.) and academic achievement
(standardized scores, grades, etc.)
• Classroom management (attention-totask, behavior, absenteeism, etc.)
• Special populations (ADHD, IDD, low
SES, minority, etc.)
• Policy (how to change the system to
increase PA)
• Effects of diet on academic performance
Mark your calendars for November 17-18,
2011 and set your sights on Washington DC.
Sincerely,
Joseph E. Donnelly, Ed.D., FACSM
Co-chair, Physical Activity, Cognitive
Function, and Academic Achievement
Conference
Chuck Hillman, Ph.D.
Co-chair, Physical Activity, Cognitive
Function, and Academic Achievement
Conference
Ideal for a multidisciplinary audience of
educators and academicians, scientists,
practitioners, policy-makers, parents and
you.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
1. Provide the science for the biological
model that links PA, fitness and brain
function.
2. Provide evidence from a variety of
children’s studies that indicate greater
cognitive function and academic
performance is associated with increases
in PA and fitness.
3. Provide evidence that increases in PA
improve a variety of classroom and school
behavioral management issues.
4. Provide guidance for public policy change.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
• Basic and Applied research scientists
• Directors/affiliated staff from funding
agencies both private and public
• Government officials
• National education organizations (including
superintendents, principals, teachers)
• National foundations focusing on physical
activity and academic achievement
• Parent-teacher associations
• Policy makers
• School health nurses
CONTINUING EDUCATION:
The American College of Sports Medicine’s
Professional Education Committee certifies
that this continuing education offering meets
the criteria for 13.75 ACSM CECs.
