Kara Radzak (Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences) and Shefali Christopher from Tufts University Seattle, Department of Rehabilitation Science, provided an invited talk, “Let’s hear it for the moms! A biopsychosocial approach to returning to sport postpartum,” at the National Athletic Trainers’ Association’s Annual Meeting on June 26 in New Orleans, LA. This session outlined key screening items and discussed return to sport considerations for the postpartum athlete. The session also incorporated recent findings from the UNR-Extension and UNLV collaboration grant entitled: "A theory-based approach to explain the correlates of safe physical activity and knowledge in pregnant and postpartum individuals living in Clark County for the likelihood of initiation and continuation in this unique population."
