Global Active Cities -
A public talk by Professor Keith George, Liverpool John Moores University and 2020 UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Fellow.
Cities may be part of the 21st Century problem of growing levels of physical inactivity and increased sedentariness that lead to a huge variety of physical, psychological, social and health inequalities. Liverpool Active City is a progressive model of physical activity and sport provision that has become a model for the Global Active City movement. Prof George will describe the IOC-led Global Active City project and discuss insights from other pilot cities.
The Inactivity Pandemic: behaviour change or exercise pill? A public talk by Professor Daniel Green, The University of Western Australia.
Physical inactivity is now one of the leading causes of death globally, with almost a third of the worlds population not meeting the recommended levels of physical activity. In response, there has been growing interest, both scientifically and commercially, in developing exercise pills which may be able to biologically induce some of the benefits of exercise. But is this a realistic, and a desirable, goal?
This lecture will be preceded by a presentation 'Hormonal Changes with Age in Women and Men: Impacts of Exercise' by Professor Helen Jones, Liverpool John Moores University, and 2020 UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Fellow and Dr Louise Naylor, School of Human Sciences, The University of Western Australia from 6pm-7pm.
