Muscle as Medicine: Strength Training & Healthspan | CCED

Muscle as Medicine: Strength Training & Healthspan | CCED is organized by CCEDSeminars and will be held on Jul 28, 2026.

Description:
Skeletal muscle is the largest endocrine organ in the body and one of the strongest independent predictors of all-cause mortality. This live webinar gives chiropractors a defensible, evidence-based framework for screening sarcopenia, prescribing resistance training, and dosing dietary protein for adults 50 and older.

• Grip strength and VO?max as defensible mortality biomarkers chair-side
• Resistance-training prescription parameters for adults 50+
• Protein dosing and the per-meal leucine threshold for muscle protein synthesis
• Chiropractic scope, workflow integration, and defensible documentation

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this 2-hour live webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Explain why skeletal muscle is considered the largest endocrine organ in the body and how this reframes its role in chiropractic patient care.
2. Identify four chair-side sarcopenia screening tools (SARC-F, grip dynamometry, 5x sit-to-stand, gait speed) with cut-off thresholds and documentation language.
3. Apply evidence-based resistance-training prescription parameters (2 sessions/week, 6–12 reps, 50–85% 1RM) for adults 50 and older within chiropractic scope.
4. Integrate protein dosing (1.2–1.6 g/kg/day) and the per-meal leucine threshold (~2.5–3.0 g) with exercise prescription to overcome anabolic resistance.
