NSU Students Present their Science at the 20th Annual International Society of Sports Nutrition Conference 2023
Faculty and students from the Department of Health and Human Performance (HHP) in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences, recently presented their latest research at the 20th Annual ISSN Conference and Expo, June 15-17, at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale FL.
Two of our Master of Science in Sport Science (M.S.S.S.) graduates, Jose Rojas and Angie Dusak gave oral presentations. Jose Rojas gave a ‘brief communication’ talk covering his latest work under the tutelage of Jose Antonio, Ph.D., professor, on the effects of a commercially available energy drink on indices of mood and mental performance. Angie Dusak took part in ISSN’s Data Blitz. In 60 seconds, she presented data on football players that was part of her master’s work with Corey Peacock, Ph.D., chair, program director, and professor. Also, Antonio and Peacock gave tutorial and poster presentations, respectively.
Furthermore, one of our more accomplished alums and current HHP adjunct faculty member, Cassandra Evans, M.S., gave a presentation on the effects of a dietary supplement on e-gamer performance. Evans has already notched over 20 peer-reviewed publications since starting as an undergraduate student at NSU Florida. In addition, we had 8 HHP students as authors and co-authors of NSU research at the conference. All in all, NSU was well represented at the international meeting that had individuals from Australia, Brazil, the UK, and Mexico among the attendees.
