We talked with researchers Timo Klein and Chris Askew from the VasoActive Research Group about a recent publication in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise titled Cerebral Blood Flow during Interval and Continuous Exercise in Young and Old Men.

Link to paper here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30768552

Great insight into what happens to blood flow inside the brain when young men vs older men perform interval or continuous exercise. Implications for physical therapists working with older adults as well as what types of exercises should we be performing throughout the aging spectrum.

We talked to Brynn Rooney and Kayla Epperson about a new Sports PT webinar series they're releasing this month that's focused at PT students and New Grads.

You can find the series here: https://www.withinreachhealth.com/current-programs-overview

This monthly webinar series is for student physical therapists looking to grow their knowledge and confidence in sports physical therapy. Over the course of twelve months, club members will learn about sport-specific physical therapy topics directly applicable to clinical practice. Each once-monthly webinar will blend didactic content with clinical cases and Q&A. Participants will gain membership to a private Facebook group for further networking and conversation.
