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.

Finally, how about something on the physiology of aging endurance and sprint capacity--and anything proven to slow down the deterioration (or perhaps even override it?) This might not be of tremendous interest to the 40 year old and younger swimmers, but it becomes of increasing interest in later age groups.
Us young swimmers should care about this too. We want to be young and beautiful forever. And humble.
Pinot Noir is good but how about Cab Sav. Let's not discriminate.
Joking aside, it would be interesting to see the effects of alcohol on recovery and peak training performance. And I don't mean beer relays.
