Webinars:                    

• February 2022: Exercise is Medicine for COVID
  The first webinar of 2022 features Exercise is Medicine founder, Bob Sallis, M.D., FACSM. Sallis discusses his recent study at Kaiser Permanente, which is an integrated health care system assessing the Exercise Vital Sign. In the beginning of the pandemic, studies showed that elderly and patients who suffer from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were at greatest risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes, defined as being hospitalized, admitted to the intensive care unit and dying. Yet we know that regular exercise has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence and improve the management of NCDs and enhance immune function. Hear more about the strengths, limitations and findings of Sallis’ recent study, and learn why it’s more important than ever to promote physical activity on your campus!
