2012 Medical Symposium schedules, activities and topics will be posted as soon as they are available.
The HHH Science and Medicine in Cycling Symposium has gone through a series of changes since being launched in 1987 as the HHH Heat Seminar. Each year, the symposium attracts physicians, nurses, cycling researchers, professional cyclists and enthusiasts to present and to listen to presentations regarding the science of cycling including physiology, hydration, training and minerals. The symposium also presents ongoing research made at the HHH by HHH Medical Director Dr. Keith Williamson and Dr. Lawrence Armstrong of the University of Connecticut
The symposium takes place from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, August 24, 2012 at the Multi-Purpose Events Center amphitheater. Simplified in 2010, the symposium no longer accepts registrations, or offers accreditation to students or health care professionals.
The event is organized by Dr. Frank Wyatt, an MSU professor in exercise physiology, and features six to ten presenters doing 20 minute or so presentations and allows for questions and answers from audience members.
The symposium is free and open to all. For more information, please contact Dr. Wyatt at frank.wyatt@mwsu.edu.
