King’s Hosts 2025 Regional Health and Human Performance Conference

Fitness experts head to campus to present the latest in exercise and nutrition science.

King’s College today announced its upcoming 2025 Health and Human Performance Conference at the Frank & Carolyn Kowalski Center for Advanced Healthcare Education at 15 N. Main Street in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. on Oct. 3, 2025.

The conference offers a variety of sessions focusing on the latest science on injury prevention, body weight and resistance exercises, and dietary supplements. The conference will also feature lectures on the leadership and communications skills essential to working with clients and sports teams. Guest instructors include leading conditioning coaches, sports scientists, personal trainers, and physicians.

All sports science students and working professionals are welcome to attend. For a full conference agenda and registration links, visit www.kings.edu/hhpc.

“One of the best features of our sports science programs is the opportunity to connect with a worldwide network of sports scientists who work directly with elite athletes,” said Jan Kretzschmar, Ph.D. “It’s thanks to that network we were able to host our second first Health and Human Performance Conference this October.”

Last year, the College launched a new Master of Science in Performance and Sports Science that offers advanced instruction on exercise science, data analysis, biomechanics, nutrition, and sports psychology, with a special emphasis on compatibility with the new National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) certification for Performance and Sports Science (CPSS).

The College’s Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science strength and conditioning track is one of the first in the United States—and the first undergraduate program in Pennsylvania—to receive accreditation from the NSCA’s Council on Accreditation of Strength and Conditioning Education (CASCE).
