2003 Research UpdateFor 2004 SymposiumSports NutritionWith Strength and ConditioningExercise Physiology andSpine/General Studies with Practical Application G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN
THE ANDERSEN PLAN FOR IMPROVING OUR MEETING A chiropractic sports science symposium that is: • BIGGER • BETTER • LESS EXPENSIVE • GREATER PROFIT
BIGGER • More people equals more networking • More networking equals greater draw • Greater draw equals more opportunity • More opportunity equals more official team doc’s • More team doc’s equal better meetings • Better meetings mean more non sports doc’s will check it out (at Full Fees!)
BETTER SEMINAR • Reduce “theme” hours • One hour of the most interesting studies in the previous 12 months • General/spine studies with practical application • Strength and conditioning • Exercise physiology/rehabilitation • Sports Nutrition The central focus of these 1 hour lectures is to insure that yearly attendance will keep you on the cutting edge.
BETTER • Peripheral focus – CEU workshops. • Technique CPR HIV/AIDS • X-ray Ethics • Jurisprudence • Seminar chairman’s #1 goal is getting as many CE nuances from as many states as possible. • Emphasis should be • 1. State of that year’s seminar • 2. States with the most DC’s – NY, NJ, TX, FL, CA • Why? - Because we want 500 DC’s
BETTER • In 1 stop we will: • Stay current • Get state CEUs • Get sports CEUs • Get CPR • Get as much misc “nit pick” credits as possible
LESS EXPENSIVE • Everyone who has attended a sports science symposium in the last 10 years, including this year, will be invited: • Attend in 2005 – 20% off • Repeat in 2006 – 30% off • Repeat in 2007 – 40% off • Everyone who attends the next 3 meetings will maintain 40% fee reduction if they return every other year. • Doc’s whose first meeting is 2005 and beyond get the same plan
LESS EXPENSIVE • More people equal more money • More people equal better hotel deals • Better hotel deals equal lower room costs • Lower room costs equal more people • More people equal lower seminar costs
GREATER PROFITS • More people equal more exhibitors • More exhibitors equal greater seminar income • Greater seminar income equals lower seminar cost • Lower seminar cost equals greater attendance
GREATER PROFITS Do the math: • 100 additional doctors at full 40% off this year equals $18,000 • 100 additional doctors at 30% off this year equals $21,000 • 100 additional doctors at 20% off this year equals $24,000
HOW WE SPEND OUR GREATER PROFITS • Establish a reserve fund • Market the meeting • Excess money NOT blown on • $ Hotels • $ Perks • $ Speakers • Once reserve fund is full, say - 30 K – ALL MONEY after expenses (office, accreditations fees, and marketing the annual meeting) should be returned to the doc’s by additional deduction off next years seminar.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND CHILDREN In children ages 9 to 16, as total physical activity (TPA) increased, fasting insulin decreased1 TPA decreased between ages 9 and 161 In children ages 6 to 8, TPA declined with age.2 In children ages 7 to 10, TPA increase leads to increased bone mineral density, decreased blood pressure, decreased total cholesterol.3 In children ages 5 to 12, as TPA increased, bone mineral density increased.4 Children ages 8 to 9, were observed during recess on 4 consecutive days. As body mass index increased, activity decreased; that is, the heavier the child, the less active.5 1Hurtig Wennlöf, A., Yngve, A., Sjöström, M.

REHYDRATION WITH FLUIDS CONTAINING BETAINE: RUNNING PERFORMANCE AND METABOLISM IN A 31°C ENVIRONMENT Betaine at 5 gm per liter when added to sports drink improved sprint time to exhaustion following 75 minutes of running in 88° weather. This improvement was not seen with a placebo beverage, or a placebo beverage and betaine. It was a greater improvement than 6% carbohydrate – electrolyte drink Conclusion: Betaine added to a carbohydrate electrolyte drink may be synergistic. Armstrong, L.E., Roti, M.W., Hatch, H.L., Sutherland, J.W., Mahood, N.V., Clements, J.M., Seen, A.D., Fiala, K.A., Craig, S.A.S., Casa, D.J., Maresh, C.M. Med. Sci. Sp. Ex. May 2003; 35(5): S311.
INFLUENCE OF PRE-EXERCISE CARBOHYDRATE MEALS ON A 21-KM RUN Methods: 8 endurance-trained male runners, averaging 33 years of age, in a random, crossover study. Testing was performed on 2 occasions with a meal, 2 hours prior to testing, that provided 15% protein, 65% carbohydrate, and 20% fat, totaling approximately 580 calories. One meal contained high glycemic index carbohydrates (77), the other low glycemic index carbohydrates (37). Protein and fat sources were unchanged. Results: All 8 improved their time in a 21K (12.5 mile) run following the low glycemic index meal. Average improvement was 98 minutes versus 101 minutes. Low glycemic index also increased fat oxidation 17.9% and decreased carbohydrate oxidation 9.5%. Wong, S.H., Lok, A., Morris, J. Influence of Pre-exercise Carbohydrate Meals on a 21-KM Run. Med. Sci.
