LIMITED TO 75 LIVE PARTICIPANTS \n\n\n\nLearn how gait mechanics\, movement efficiency\, and running economy influence fatigue\, performance\, and injury risk—and discover practical strategies you can immediately apply in training and clinical practice. \n\n\n\nHow does fatigue change movement\, performance\, and injury risk—and what can we do about it as sports medicine clinicians?\n\n\n\nJoin us on Saturday July 11th from 9-10 am at the Spooner Sports Institute to learn more. \n\n\n\nRunning economy is one of the most studied markers of endurance performance and provides valuable insight into how fatigue influences athletic movement. As fatigue accumulates during training and competition\, athletes often experience measurable changes in biomechanics\, movement efficiency\, and physiological performance. This presentation will explore the current evidence surrounding fatigue-induced changes in running economy and gait mechanics as a model for understanding broader fatigue-related adaptations in sport. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn from sports physiologists and gain a deeper understanding of how fatigue affects movement efficiency and performance\, which biomechanical metrics appear most sensitive to performance decline\, and how lessons learned from endurance runners can be applied across athletic populations to inform training and rehabilitation.  \n\n\n\nAfter this session\, attendees will be able to:\n\n\n\n\nExplain the key factors that influence running economy\n\n\n\nIdentify common gait mechanics associated with increased energy cost\n\n\n\nRecognize movement patterns that may contribute to fatigue and injury\n\n\n\nApply practical coaching and clinical strategies to improve running efficiency\n\n\n\nTranslate current evidence into real-world athlete care\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?\n\n\n\nPhysical Therapists\, Athletic Trainers\, Physical Therapist Assistants\, Sports Medicine Physicians\, Running Coaches\, Strength & Conditioning Professionals\, Students Interested in Sports Medicine \n\n\n\nAthletic Trainers: Better understand the relationship between biomechanics\, workload\, fatigue\, and injury risk. \n\n\n\nPhysical Therapists: Explore current evidence and clinical applications related to running gait and economy. \n\n\n\nStrength & Conditioning Professionals + Running Coaches: Gain practical insights to help athletes move more efficiently and perform at a higher level. \n\n\n\nApproved for: 1 Cat A Con Ed for ATs\, Cat B for PTs \n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexa Lobato: Alexa Lobato\, MS\, is the Head Performance Physiologist at Human Powered Health.
