Dr. Chris Sciamanna

@mrsbronwyngreen Of course. Just email me. Cs19081@gmail.com

@sciamanna I read your 2018 paper on Positive Affect Journaling, are you willing to share the journal questions?

@LabNyland You’ve got it all wrong. It’s scrapple we love. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple

I find it interesting, having been raised in northern Michigan, that a forecast of snow/ice sends everyone in Pennsylvania to the grocery store to buy milk, eggs, and bread. I like to imagine that it is just a tradition that everyone has to make French toast that next morning.

@JordanDKurthPhD @penn_state @conroylab So excited to have you join us Jordan! Penn State has so much to offer and - as you see - a great bunch of KL2 scholars and grads too! So many great people to work with and an amazing collaborative culture. And an a-hole index of nearly zero. @SusanVeldheer @ExtenCara

Hiring a post-doc to work with a dream team (@conroylab, @fitaftercancer, @margaretdptphd) to test whether a novel 4 minute daily workout can improve walking ability among older adults (N=620). Could be game-changing. tinyurl.com/26ctpnmh. Apply here: tinyurl.com/5n958h6r

@fitaftercancer Teamwork makes the dream work. Excited to have this amazing team for this project. We have a chance to change the paradigm from “more is better” to “what will people do that works - for older silts at least. @fitaftercancer @conroylab @margaretdptphd

Stoked for Chris @sciamanna and team to get started on a highly impactful and pragmatic exercise trial for older adults! Excited to get started!

A few good tricks that ALL work to improve physical activity adherence among older adults. @conroylab pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33000985/

@fitaftercancer Yay! Congrats. I would need a wheelchair the next day if I tried that.

I just ran 11 miles! It was ugly, and I will not share my turtle like time, but still...

@KnowYourWishes They’re like 100 pounds, so be careful what you wish for.

Sure strength training works, but - really - Sys Rev shows it increases leg press by 40 lbs and reduces TUG time by 3 sec in just 8 days ?!?! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34453666/

“I don't want to exercise for longer than 5 minutes. I am lazy and hate sweating.” If TIME is the #1 barrier to exercise, why not test shorter programs? (Word Cloud from Survey of 261 US Adults, Jan 2021) @NorumMartin, @BradSchoenfeld, @gibalam, @MWeston73, @rachellesultana

Exercise is Medicine, but is it REALLY? Study shows that: - 67% of medical students are NOT comfortable writing an exercise prescription - 57% did not know how much resistance training is recommended. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34841206/ @ACSMNews, @cegarber, @IrfAsif

Nice to see research questions getting asked that patients like mine really want to know, like.... “What’s the shortest strength workout that would help?” pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34822137/ Way to go team from Deakin! @jacksonfyfe @dlhamilton82 @daly_prof @DeakinIPAN

New study shows that knowledge is a key barrier preventing women from doing strength training. -Which exercises? -How many repetitions? -How often? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34800250/ Keep it simple. Try push-ups + squats - one set a day. @NorumMartin @DrElizabethFord @BradSchoenfeld

🎉Congrats to Dr. Matthew Silvis for being recognized on Hometown Heroes Night at @TheHersheyBears. In addition to serving his roles at Penn State Health, Silvis is the Bears’ team physician. Silvis was honored for his service to the team and the surrounding community.

Our study was the most talked about sport science study in June! No Time to Lift? Designing Time-Efficient Training Programs for Strength and Hypertrophy: A Narrative Review link.springer.com/article/10.100… @VegardMIversen @NorumMartin @BradSchoenfeld

My older patients like things simple, so this easy-to-follow 5 minute chair stand workout that improved leg press strength (1RM) may be really useful. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33767255/

Study finds that nearly half (48%) of PTs thought their training didn't prepare them to prescribe strength training and only 62% passed a knowledge exam. If it were MDs, I'm sure that number would have been closer to zero pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34473297/ @shanapt @MattStockPhD

Nicely done! @AnneTiedemann1 @CathieSherr. Provider (mainly PT) training improves fall prevention exercise prescription - maybe MDs are next.

Rub it in. At least I got my Twitter handle 13 years ago before my kids were able to tweet and steal it. Happy to be in the conversation.

Welcome to the Twitterverse, @sciamanna! Excited to have you here to share your passion for helping patients live healthier lives! Letting a few of our mutual friends know you are here :) @PennStHershey @PennStateCTSI @PennStateGIM @SocietyGIM

@jlkrasch @PennStHershey @PennStateCTSI @PennStateGIM @SocietyGIM Thanks @jlkrasch! Better late than never 😀
