Associate Professor Genevieve Healy and Dr. Ana Goode provide us with the latest research findings from BeUpstanding program of research: a program aiming to support workplaces to stand up, sit less, and move more for their health and well-being.
Associate Professor Genevieve Healy is a NHMRC Career Development Fellow at the Cancer Prevention Research Centre in the School of Public Health at the University of Queensland, and an honorary research fellow at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, and Curtin University.
Her PhD research reported some of the first evidence regarding the importance of regularly interrupting sedentary time for heart health. Her current research builds on this work to examine population-level variations in prolonged sedentary time as well as the feasibility and acceptability of reducing this behaviour in key settings, such as the workplace.
Dr. Ana Goode currently works at the Cancer Prevention Research Centre, University of Queensland. Her program of research brings together training and research experience in health psychology and health behavior change interventions, including their adaptation and translation to practice to build the evidence base for the dissemination of physical activity, dietary change, and weight loss interventions in applied community settings.
She is currently the program co-ordinator of the BeUpstanding Champion Toolkit: an evidence-based online program to reduce sitting time in the workplace.
