CU-Boulder: CU on the Weekend: Healthy Aging, Movement and Balance

Event Description:
The effortless ease with which we move masks a profound complexity. Join Rodger Kram and Alaa Ahmed, professors of integrative physiology, for a talk about movement, balance, and aging. Kram will present a series of studies about walking and a new training system that teaches older adults to “walk young” again. Ahmed will talk about the “risky business” that involves movement, aging, and the brain. Similar to an economic decision, a movement decision seeks to maximize rewards and minimize costs in an uncertain world. 

This event is part of CU on the Weekend, which is free and open to the public. For the full program description or to sign up for an email reminder, visit: http://conted.colorado.edu/cuontheweekend.
