Exercise to Promote Neuroplasticity Workshop
Saturday, 3 August 2024
NeuroRehab Allied Health Network Deer Park, Victoria
Neuroplasticity is the basis of neurological rehab. This workshop does a deep dive on neuroplasticity, applying it to work Exercise Physiologists do in a neurological population. You will get the opportunity to apply these principles to neuro case studies and explore how these principles support exercise modalities such as e-stims, blood flow restriction, volume training, part practice and home exercise programs. By the end of the workshop, you will feel confident that you are able to maximise neuroplasticity in your therapy and exercise sessions. The ESSA Victoria State Chapter invites you to join them for a Workshop for all Victorian based Accredited Exercise Physiologists, Accredited Exercise Scientists, Accredited Sports Scientists and students.

Are You Ready to Recommend Physical Activity for Pregnant People?
By Margie H. Davenport, Ph.D., FACSM; Michelle F. Mottola, Ph.D., FACSM, FCSEP, FCAHS; Linda E. May, M.S., Ph.D., FACSM, FAHA; Rachel Tinius, Ph.D., FACSM; Samantha McDonald, Ph.D.; Taniya S. Nagpal, Ph.D.; and Janet M. Shaw, Ph.D., FACSM
Traditionally, pregnant individuals were required to obtain medical clearance before beginning or continuing physical activity during pregnancy. However, with the establishment of the safety and benefits of prenatal exercise, the requirement that all individuals obtain medical clearance for prenatal physical activity is no longer needed. Importantly, though, identifying the small group of individuals with contraindications remains necessary. The Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy (GAQ-P) was developed as a self-administered exercise pre-participation screening tool that identifies individuals who may have contraindications to prenatal exercise requiring additional consultation with a health care provider. The GAQ-P can be used with the Health Care Provider Consultation form for Prenatal Physical Activity as a supplemental document to increase the communication between the health care provider, pregnant individual, and fitness professional.

Conducting Online Fitness Assessments in Exercise Oncology
By Julia T. Daun, M.Sc., B.Kin., CSEP-CEP; Chad W. Wagoner, Ph.D., ACSM-CEP; Julianna Dreger, M.Clin.Ex.Phys., CSEP-CEP; Tanya Williamson, B.Kin., CSEP-CEP; Jessica Danyluk, M.Kin., CSEP-CEP; Lauren C. Capozzi, M.D., Ph.D., CSEP-CEP; and S. Nicole Culos-Reed, Ph.D.
This paper presents practical considerations for conducting online fitness assessments in exercise oncology research settings. Screening and assessing participants online are integral components of safe and effective exercise program delivery. Future research is needed to establish the validity and reliability of online assessments that have been adapted from the in-person setting.

Defining an Optimal Range of Motion in Resistance Exercises for the Shoulder
By Emilio Landolfi, PhD and Rogerio Bernardes, PhD
There is a difference between a full range of motion and an optimal/safe range of motion during the execution of resistance exercises. Commonly practiced resistance exercises involving the shoulder joint can pose a significant risk of injury. A safe and effective range of motion for a variety of shoulder exercises involving pressing, pulling, and abduction movements is provided.
