KIN Insider Spring 2011

Dear Faculty, Students, and Alumni,

This is a very special year for the Kinesiology and Sport Sciences (KIN) Department. For the first time, the KIN department has over 72% of all students enrolled in the School of Education. This means that almost 3 out of every 4 students enrolled in the School of Education is in a KIN program. We just started the brand new “Strength and Condi-tioning/Fitness Entrepre-neurship” Masters degree program which is one of a handful of graduate pro-grams accredited by the Na-tional Strength and Condi-tioning Association. The new Masters degree program in “Nutrition for Health and Human Perform-ance” will be starting in Au-gust and will integrate Exer-cise Physiology, Sport Nutri-tion, and Disease Prevention in one program.

We have a brand new part-nership with the NASCAR organization and our sport administration students will have a wonderful opportunity to gain on-site experiences in one of the biggest and most popular sporting events in the country. The “Sports Medicine” Mas-ters degree kicked off this Fall and for the first time, Athletic Trainers will have more opportunity to learn about the most pressing re-search in athletic injuries, diagnostic tools, and radio-logical techniques used to evaluate the nature of these injuries. Joining faculty in the medical school, this Masters degree program will prove to be a most advanced level and comprehensive degree. Finally, the new Max Orovitz Laboratory just opened which contains an additional 10,000 square feet . The brand new facility is now opened to students, faculty and research projects. The laboratory houses the Ath-letic Training major and in-terfaces very closely with the Varsity Athletics department which is nearby. It also houses the Sports Medicine laboratory headed by our very own, Dr. Sae Yong Lee. Finally, our muscle physiolo-gist, Dr. Joe Signorile, has a

brand new area for testing strength and force develop-ment, muscle physiology, balance and coordination in the aging population which he has been doing research on for many years. There will also be a new "Nutrition" laboratory open in the Max Orovitz Building to enhance our understanding of sport performance, weight man-agement, and disease pre-vention. We are very excited about the breadth and com-prehensiveness that this added space provides our students and programs. I invite you to look through our Newsletter and learn more about what we are doing in our programs and read more about the new programs we have in place!!!Please let me know what you think!

Stay Well, Stay Active,

Bending

the

Aging

Curve

Dr. Joseph Signorile’s latest book, Bending

the Aging Curve, was released by Human

Kinetic Publishers this March. The book

reflects Dr. Sig’s unique view on “targeted”

exercise prescriptions to address the multi-

faceted needs of older persons. The book

begins with illustrations of the aging curves

which characterize the aging patterns of our

physiological systems and describes the im-

portance of each curve within the context of

maintaining independence and reducing the

probability of falls. This section also shows

how the diagnosis/prescription model, used

for centuries by physicians, can be utilized to

provide the most effective training prescrip-

tions. In the second section of the book, Dr.

Signorile provides a “training toolbox” that

can be used to address each person’s individ-

ual set of needs. Section three of the book

then shows how these training programs can

be incorporated into a periodized program

which maximizes improvement while reduc-

ing the likelihood of overtraining and over-

use injuries. This section also explains the

use of translational recovery cycles a concept

developed by Dr. Signorile over decades of

research. These cycles are used to

“translate” the physiological improvements

derived during more formalized training into

motor patterns used in daily living. The

book also includes a DVD which provides

case studies and filmstrips of the

“translational exercises”.

Dr. Signorile will be conducting a free webi-

nar, “Bending the Aging Curve: A Periodized

Prescription for Improved Aging,” through

Human Kinetics Publishers, on Thursday,

April 7th from 2:00 – 3:00 pm Eastern (1:00 -

2:00 pm Central).

Jessica Adams

Below is an article con-

cerning one of our past

graduates, Dr. Jessica

Adams. Dr. Adams re-

ceived her degree in Edu-

cational Research and

Exercise Physiology in

May of 2007. Her disser-

tation entitled “Optimal

frequency, displacement, duration, and re-

covery patterns to maximize power output

following acute whole-body vibration” was

published in the Journal of Strength and

Conditioning Research, 2009 Mar;23(2):683.

Coincidently, Dr. Adams is teaching at Kean

University the school from which Dr. Si-

gnorile, her dissertation chairman, received

his certification for teaching physical educa-

tion decades earlier.

Dr. Adams is currently teaching biomechan-

ics, kinesiology, and evaluation in physical

education on both the Ocean and Union cam-

puses of Kean University. She and her hus-

band Jamie are the co-authors of the text

Adams & Adams Fit for Scuba.

As you can see from the article, she’s making

quite an impression.

“As humans, we can’t separate our minds

from our bodies,” said Dr. Jessica Adams,

assistant professor in the Department of

Physical Education, Recreation and Health.

“In recent studies, students’ fitness was

measured against academic performance.

Results found that students with healthier

body composition, aerobic capacity, muscular

strength, endurance and flexibility achieved

higher test scores and displayed better be-

havior.”

While the studies are new, Adams has been

leading students at Kean University to inte-

grate fitness into every facet of their life

since she joined the faculty in 2006.

Teaching fitness- and science-based courses,

she explained, “bridges the gap between all

forms of physical activity and the anatomy,

physiology and mechanics of movement,

illustrating how our bodies work and why we

all need to be fit.”

In the last four years, Adams has revived the

Physical Education Majors Club. In collabo-

ration with the American Heart Association,

she has created and implemented the Hoops

for Hearts and Jump Rope for Hearts train-

ing programs for physical education majors,

raising more than $10,000 for cardiovascular

research in the process. Guided by profes-

sional training and her experience as a

mother of two, Adams developed and runs a

program for students at the Kean University

Child Care Center that promotes fitness

among children while providing practical

experience to Kean’s future physical educa-

tion professionals.

“I strive to integrate work, family, volunteer-

ism, hands-on learning and lots of fun,” said

Adams, who also works on the Special Olym-

pics Young Athletes committee at Kean.

Beyond the classroom, Adams is a faculty

advisor for the New Jersey Association of

Health, Physical Education, Recreation and

Dance, and a member of the National Coun-

cil on Strength and Fitness Task Force. She

also authors a quarterly fitness column for

Alert Diver Magazine.

Previously, Adams spent five years teaching

and coaching at public and private schools in

Virginia, Florida and Athens, Greece. She

also spent three years teaching health and

weight training at Broward Community

College and personal training certification

courses for the National Council on Strength

and Fitness. With the support of her profes-

sors and her dissertation advisor at the Uni-

versity of Miami, Dr. Joseph Signorile ’87,

Adams later participated in dive-safety field

research on Grand Cayman Island and labo-

ratory research at Duke University.

“Jessica was always involved in a variety of

projects and was one of the hardest working

students I ever met,” said Signorile, who

earned his physical education teaching certi-

fication from Kean in 1987. “Once she sets

on a direction, she determines the benefits

and sees the process through till the end.”

In similar fashion, Adams now engages

physical education students in research ini-

tiatives that often lead to presentations at

professional conferences. This spring, Adams

and Raz Avraham, physical education major,

will co-lead a half-day workshop on integrat-

ing technology without many resources at

the national conference of the American

Alliance for Physical Education, Recreation

and Dance in San Diego. The seminar is a

by-product of the duo’s 2010 Students Part-

nering with Faculty (SpF) award.

In all that she does, Adams’ most effective

teaching tool is her life.

“I have the unique opportunity to integrate

my passion for physical activity into my

career as an educator,” said Adams, who

enjoys exercise, surfing, paddle boarding,

scuba diving, swimming and running. “As a

fitness instructor, it’s important that you

practice what you teach, so I never ask my

students to do anything that I don’t do my-

self.”

EPO

(Exercise Physiology Organization)

The student Exercise Physiol-

ogy Organization, EPO, had

another successful year with

the club's newly elected stu-

dent president Laura Quiorla.

The club is committed to pro-

moting guidance on physical

activity and nutrition to fos-

ter physical wellbeing in com-

munities, while rewarding

club members with resume-

building experiences that will

enhance their future. EPO's

pre-med students were able

to scrub-in and observe open

heart surgeries at Jackson

Memorial Hospital thanks to

a collaboration with the De-

partment of Anesthesiology

and the kindness of Dr.

Ernesto Pretto, chief of the

Division of Solid Organ

Transport.

Once again, EPO held several

successful Health Fair's this

year, including two on cam-

pus, one for the attendees at

the Global Business Forum,

and a third annual health fair

at LaGorce Country Club in

Miami Beach. These events

provided guests with nonin-

vasive and time-efficient

measurements of their cardio-

vascular fitness, body compo-

sition, and posture with ac-

companying dietary and

physical activity recommen-

dations. Since obesity and

metabolic health is more im-

portant now than ever, cli-

ents were provided detailed

EPO reports that emphasized

strategies to recognize and

combat cardio-metabolic dis-

ease symptoms.

Finally, as a way to celebrate

health, fitness, and general

well-being with the Univer-

sity of Miami Community,

EPO held the Second Annual

Health Week on the Coral

Gables Campus during the

week of February 28th to

March 4th. Health Week con-

sisted of activities and stu-

dent-taught lectures on vari-

ous exercise physiology and

nutrition topics, including:

how to create effective weight

loss programs, choosing opti-

mum nutrition for health,

building muscle mass and

strength, and a lecture enti-

tled "Exercise, Our Dreaded

Second Job." Each lecture

was held in large classrooms

with stadium seating, were

very well attended, and a

great success.

The School of Education's Ex-

ercise Physiology Program

has been growing tremen-

dously over the last few

years, and this student or-

ganization, with its many op-

portunities for students, has

played a large role in generat-

ing enthusiasm among stu-

dents on campus about this

program and field of study.

As part of the Strength and Con-

ditioning Graduate Program’s

continuing development and

growth, the program of study

has recently been recognized by

the NSCA’s (National Strength

& and Conditioning Association)

Education Recognition Program

(ERP). The ERP was created to

identify benchmark education

programs in the field of strength

and conditioning. As one of the

largest professional strength

and conditioning organizations

with an international reputa-

tion, this recognition program

acknowledges the preparation

and applicability the program

has for students interested in

careers related to performance

enhancement and advanced fit-

ness programming. With most

Division I and professional

sports teams requiring their

Strength Coaches to hold a Mas-

ters Degree in an exercise re-

lated program of study, the Uni-

versity of Miami’s Strength and

Conditioning Graduate Program

is a perfect match for those look-

ing for both a high level of com-

prehension as well as the hands-

on experience required to suc-

ceed. “The NSCA distinction

identifies the commitment of the

Department of Kinesiology and

Sports Sciences and the Univer-

sity of Miami’s Athletic depart-

ment to student development

and professional advancement

and provides greater opportu-

nity success in the field”

MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY

PARADE

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Pa-

rade is a spectacular show that airs

each year on NBC on Thanksgiving

morning. Over the past twelve

years, Professor Karen Lew had the

opportunity to serve as an Athletic

Trainer for the Cheerleaders and

Dancers that participate in the

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Aside from Santa Claus and the

Radio City Rocketts, the Cheerlead-

ers and Dancers have been the

longest running group of perform-

ers in the parade.

As the athletic trainer for the per-

formers, she typically arrives in

New York City the Friday before

Thanksgiving to prepare the per-

formances that includes over 1000

participants. Three days of prac-

tices are held prior to performing in

front of the cameras on Monday

evening in front of Macy’s located

on 34th Street in New York City.

Professor Lew’s primary responsi-

bility is to oversee the healthcare of

all of the dancers and cheerleaders.

During any given practice, she may

be observed stretching the dancers,

taping ankles, or icing old injuries.

Anything that falls within the pur-

view of athletic medicine, is han-

dled by the First Aid Staff which

she has served as the head of for

the past 5 years. The First Aid

Staff consists of Athletic Trainers,

Nurses, EMTs, and athletic train-

ing students who are an integral

part of the event.

Being a part of the Macy’s parade is

very special. She has had the op-

portunity to work with 1000s of per-

formers but to also meet and work

with celebrities. Some of the people

she has met and interacted with

over the past twelve years include

Regis and Kelly, Joe Torre and the

Yankees, Lin Manuel Miranda,

Gavin DeGraw, Bindi Erwin, Matt

Lauer, Al Rocker, Meredith Viera,

and this year Jimmy Fallon.

In 2006, she was awarded the Rollie

Award for over six years of dedi-

cated service to the parade and

Macy’s. The Rollie award is named

after Roland Macy and is Macy’s

version of an Oscar. In 2010, she

was awarded with the M award.

The Tiffany’s crystal M awarded is

given to those that go above and

beyond in making the performances

and the parade a success. Professor

Lew hopes to continue her involve-

ment with the Macy’s Thanksgiving

Day long into the future and have

the opportunity to include students

and staff that are a part of the Uni-

versity of Miami Athletic Training

Education Program.

ATHLETIC TRAINING

STUDENTS ATTEND

SYMPOSIUM IN ATLANTA

The students in the Athletic Train-

ing Education Program (ATEP) at-

tended the 26th Annual SEATA

Athletic Training Student Sympo-

sium in Atlanta, Georgia on Febru-

ary 3-5, 2011. This educational

meeting was a great opportunity for

the Athletic Training majors to net-

work and interact with other ath-

letic training students from Ala-

bama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,

Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee,

Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

During the educational session, stu-

dents engaged in laboratories that

included topics such as spine board-

ing, casting, bracing, and orthotic

making. In addition, the senior ATS

attended seminars that reviewed

important competencies to prepare

them for the Board of Certification

exam.

In addition, we are extremely proud

of the University of Miami’s Quiz

Bowl team which finished in 2nd

place, competing to represent Dis-

trict IX at the National Quiz Bowl

at the National Athletic Trainers

Association conference in New Or-

leans. The Quiz Bowl had over 20

athletic training education pro-

grams contending and we came in a

strong second place. The team con-

sisted of seniors Nancy Melnyk, Jeff

Cournoyer, Karl Rennalls, and jun-

ior Julia Rapicavoli. Congrats to

the team and everyone that sup-

ported them.

It was a fantastic meeting and a

great time was had by all.

6th Annual SPORT

Charity Golf

ClassicPresented by

BioVigil

The Sport Administration graduate pro-

gram is in the process of organizing the

6th Annual SPORT Charity Golf Classic

at Palmetto Golf Course. The tournament

will be held on Friday, April 8th, 2011 at

8:30am and the following Friday is being

held as a rain date in case of inclement

weather. The students enrolled in KIN

563 – Facility and Event Management –

are working extremely hard on the pro-

duction and execution of this event in

order to make it the most successful

SPORT Golf Classic to date! They have

already hit some major milestones as

they prepare to host the event in April.

The first ever Title Sponsor was secured

for $3,000 and the California-based com-

pany, BioVigil, will be presenting the 6th

Annual SPORT Charity Golf Classic this

year. Another major accomplishment of

the SPORT organization is the creation

of an official website for the tournament,

so that all information regarding the

event can be easily accessed in one con-

venient location. The website also has the

ability to be used as a marketing tool to

promote the tournament to players, spon-

sors, and the UM community. A final

milestone is that the students have ar-

ranged through La Ley Sports to have a

live-streaming feed of the event placed

on the internet for anyone who is unable

to attend. UMTV is also providing tour-

nament day coverage. Anyone who is

interested in participating, sponsoring, or
