Did my very first TV interview with The House of Wellness on Channel 7 discussing atrial fibrillation and exercise and the work I’m doing at @DeakinIPAN Absolutely blast and privilege 😊 To view the segment, it is available here: https://t.co/wtg3IErZD7

Exercise, Sport, and Movement, ACSM's open access journal, has issued a call for papers on the topic of sex differences in response to exercise. Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2025. ➡️ Learn more and prepare your submission: https://t.co/A84cporD9b

🧵1/9 🚨 Our new research led by our PhD student, Sian O'Gorman, highlights age-specific barriers to exercise in Australian women with T2D. Despite its importance for managing T2D, most women aren't meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines. Here's what the study found 👇

8/9 💡 Tailored interventions are key: - Address age-specific barriers - Improve exercise knowledge - Build confidence - Promote accessible, flexible, and supportive programs

7/9 👩‍⚕️ Most women relied on GPs for exercise advice Yet only 27% had seen an exercise physiologist ➡️ Strengthening referral pathways to AEPs could improve access to tailored support

6/9 📌 Practical implications: Younger women may benefit from time-efficient formats like low-volume HIIT Older women need peer support, partner involvement, and structured guidance

5/9 🧠 Across all ages: - Exercise knowledge was low - Self-efficacy was moderate to poor - Only 3.4% knew how to estimate exercise intensity (e.g., Borg scale) - 27% had NEVER received any exercise advice for T2D

4/9 👵 Older women (55+) reported: 🧍‍♀️ Lack of social support (38.6%) ❓ Not knowing how to start (31.3%) 💬 Many felt unsure about initiating an exercise routine

3/9 👩‍🦱 Younger women (18–54) reported: ⏱️ Lack of time (63.9%) 🚗 Transport issues (16.7%) 🧒 Caregiving and work responsibilities were common

2/9 📊 119 women with T2D were surveyed. 57% reported being physically active BUT 77% of those weren’t meeting PA guidelines Only 43% believed they could realistically meet the recommended 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous PA

I am extremely proud that our journal will continue to support diversity, equity and inclusion in research. With the US executive order in place, it would be remiss to not acknowledge how this can hurt not only the people impacted, but science moving forward:
