Assistant Professor in the Applied Exercise Science program Lara Carlson, Ph.D., CSCS, FACSM, of the Westbrook College of Health Professions, was invited to participate as a consultant for Men’s Ice Hockey Coaches and Athletic Trainers on topics which included hydration and strength and conditioning periodization.
