1 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:

2 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, 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 ACSM CECs.
