For several years the USMS Sports Medicine and Science Committee has been arranging presentations that are given during national championship meets. Leading professionals provide information on various sports science and medicine topics.
The committee is interested in finding out what medical and scientific topics related to swimming, training, and health you are interested in hearing about.
Please post your requests and we will design upcoming presentations around the most popular topics.
Thanks for your input.

Nutrition and muscle recovery as we age would be a good topic too.
I like this topic very much, but I think it will be too broad.
Some subtopics inside Donna's topic I would like to see:
Muscle recovery differences at varying work loads. How quickly are elite swimmers recovering compared to competitive masters compared to non-competitive masters and what factors age plays in those times.
Is swimming enough? The benefits of multiple discipline exercise over single discipline exercise programs as we age.
The differing nutritional recovery needs comparing post practice to post meet.
Portable meals, pack it or purchase it. How to meet the nutritional needs of the masters swimmer on he go.
Pinot Noir as a recovery drink. How alcohol affects our performance and things to keep in mind during post meet celebrations.
Biomechanics is always interesting, but there is nothing specific from the field that I am really interested in.
For those not going to nationals, will the information be available by other means?
