New @WHO guidelines now include recommendations to limit #sedentary behaviour and replace with #physical activity of any intensity, but still a lot of room to improve and expand the evidence-base #EveryMoveCounts.
Every move counts!. Evidence for new @WHO #sedentary behaviour guidelines.➡️Substantial health gains from limiting sedentary time.➡️Replace sedentary behaviours with #physicalactivity of any intensity. 👉🏽By @PC_Dempsey @fiona_bull et al @IJBNPA

📢Excited to share a comprehensive scoping review led by @hmlyoungphysio on PA/sedentary behaviour interventions for #MLTCs & #frailty.Some key gaps:.❌ Limited focus on sedentary behaviour.❌ Minimal (reported) carer involvement.❌ Homogeneity in populations.More work needed! 👉.
Finally published! Physical activity & sedentary behaviour interventions for ppl living w/ both #frailty & #mltcs & their carers: a scoping review

Honoured to be shortlisted for an @aipolsci 2024 #YoungTallPoppy Award! Grateful for the chance to contribute to clinical and public health research, and to be part of a campaign that promotes scientific literacy and excellence while inspiring new generations of scientists #STEM.
Thrilled to announce Dr @PC_Dempsey is a 2024 @aipolsci #YoungTallPoppy finalist! Paddy’s research sheds light on how different amounts, intensities and patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour can improve cardiometabolic health. @deakinresearch | @BakerResearchAu

Mark Hargreaves presents the DB Dill Historical Lecture - "Exercise Physiology in a Molecular Age". A legend in the science of exercise & muscle biology, but I'll always remember him more for being a top bloke and mentor/role-model. All the best with 'retirement' 🙂 #ACSM24

Steps for health: where are we up to? Nice evidence synthesis and discussion by @BorjadelPozoCr1 on the opportunities, but also challenges, of such metrics. How many steps optimal? Do all steps count? Will we see steps-based recommendations in future guidelines?. #ACSM24
