Newswise — Save the date for the American College of Sports Medicine’s 66th Annual Meeting, 10th World Congress on Exercise is Medicine and World Congress on the Basic Science of Exercise, Circadian Rhythms and Sleep, May 28–June 1, 2019, in Orlando, Florida. These three exciting meetings will happen simultaneously and feature new trends and research in sports medicine and exercise science.

The World Congress on the Basic Science of Exercise, Circadian Rhythms and Sleep will bring together leading researchers to present and discuss cutting-edge science in this rapidly developing field. Circadian rhythms, or “clocks,” regulate several bodily functions like behavior, hormone levels, body temperature, sleep and metabolism. Most people have probably experienced a temporary misalignment between their internal clock and the environment, resulting in “jet lag.” However, chronic mismatches between internal clocks and lifestyle are associated with increased risk for various diseases.

Registration is free for members of the media and provides access to experts presenting the latest trends and research.
