The American College of Sports Medicine® (ACSM) announced the 2022 Paper of the Year for each of ACSM’s five highly acclaimed journals — the college’s sixth and newest journal, Exercise, Sport, and Movement had not yet been established — during a symposium at the 2023 ACSM annual meeting held May 30 – June 2 in Denver, CO.
The annual Paper of the Year award for each of ACSM’s journals recognizes the demonstrated scientific and scholarly significance and impact of an article published during the previous year. The selection for this award, now in its fourth year, was made by the editorial board of each journal, who received nominations from the associate editors of said journal.
