    /Highlights/ Dr Healy and Goode - SB | Behaviour change | Workplace | Intervention

    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.

    /Highlights/ Narratives of Ageing and Physical Activity: Are there Alternatives to Ageing-as-Decline? Dr Adam Evans

    /Highlights/ Narratives of Ageing and Physical Activity: Are there Alternatives to Ageing-as-Decline? Dr Adam Evans

    Physical activity in later life is often promoted for its potential physical, psychological, and social benefits for older adults. However, sometimes these programs, despite good intentions, can perpetuate negative stereotypes about aging and youthful ideas about a good life. Have we forgotten to ask old people themselves how and why they are (not) active?
    As our guest explains, aging is not only a physical and psychological phenomenon but also a cultural phenomenon. Cultural narratives including ageing-as-decline, successful ageing and active ageing can have significant consequences on how we make meaning of later life.
    In this episode, we ask critical questions about what is ageing, who is an older person, and what implications different physical activity campaigns for older adults might have.
    Dr Adam Evans is currently an Associate Professor in Sociology of Sport at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport (NEXS) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the current director of the Sport, Health and Innovation research group at NEXS, and is Editor in Chief of the European Journal for Sport and Society (www.tandfonline.com/toc/ress20/current). His research interests cohere around understanding the lived experiences of sport, physical activity amongst several groups, including older adults and those with specific health needs, together with work in swimming and aquatic activity.

    /Highlights/ Is Fun a Necessary Part of 'Good' Physical Education – Greg Dryer (Pt1) – Meaningful Sport Series

    /Highlights/ Is Fun a Necessary Part of 'Good' Physical Education – Greg Dryer (Pt1) – Meaningful Sport Series

    Is fun a necessary part of good physical education, or are there other, more profound experiences that might be more important for young people? Today’s episode continues exploring the meaning and value of physical education in young people’s lives.
    The discussion is shaped by a critical perspective, and we ask questions about privilege, marginalized identities, and the taken-for-granted ideology of sport as promoting positive youth development.
    Greg Dryer is the founder and Director of the Centre for Physical Education, Sport and Activity that sits in the School of Education at Kingston University. The Centre’s mission is to make physical education, sport, and physical activity, meaningful, relevant, and wonderful for all young people by aligning excellent teaching, research, and practice. Before moving into higher education, Greg was Head of PE at 3 large inner London schools during a 17-year teaching career. 
    Away from university, Greg launched miMove in 2019. miMove is an app that allows practitioners to support young people in developing physical activity habits. It provides the data for schools to monitor the impact, review, and celebrate their work in PE and Sport. For more information go to mimoveapp.com
    Greg and his team always want to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations, as they believe this is the only route to sustained progress.
