Prof Martin Green. Great story of Australian ingenuity in relation to solar energy cells, sound investment, and ultimately research translation and 'scaling up on steroids'. Solar now the cheapest energy source in most countries - <20¢/W! #SMP2024 Science & Technology Australia

#SMP2024 day 2. Great to meet #LabourParty MP/clinician Dr. Gordon Reid & chat candidly about Australia clinical/public health systems, PA guidelines, diabetes parliamentary inquiry, & crucial role of active living & healthy eating for prevention/management of diabetes/CVD/cancer

Great highlighted symposium on "The Physiology of Sedentary Behavior" kicked off by David Dunstan at #ACSM24 in the beautiful city of Boston!

Move more, and more often. Ana Jéssica Pinto gives a clear perspective on the health benefits of reducing and breaking up sedentary behaviour and potential mechanisms. Evidence is now in systematic reviews for a number of key cardiometabolic outcomes. #ACSM24

Exercising is not enough: The influence of sedentary behavior on the relationship between exercise and health outcomes. Ed Coyle gives an interesting talk on the recent evidence on "exercise resistance". Is it a 'harbinger' or a 'culprit'? #ACSM24

Sit less: Audrey Bergouignan tells us in detail about the physiopathology of sedentary behavior & underlying biological mechanisms. Lots of health effects across various experimental models. Strategies needed to reduce! #ACSM24

David Dunstan, Ana Jéssica Pinto, Ed Doyle, Paddy Dempsey, and I are excited to have presented at the Highlighted Symposium on "The Physiology of Sedentary Behavior" at #ACSM24 today in Boston. Most data were recently discussed in an exhaustive review (Pinto AJ et al. 2023 Phys Rev).

Paddy Dempsey expertly concluded the Highlighted Symposium on "The Physiology of Sedentary Behavior," offering insightful perspectives on translating experimental data into practical guidelines and highlighting key knowledge gaps and future research directions. #ACSM24

Great summary by Jacob Meyer on Expanding evidence for the use of exercise in the treatment of depression. No clear optimal prescription. Can we capitalise on the acute effects (psych priming window) of exercise for depression? #ACSM24

Nicely tied together talk by karmel choi on the genomic perspectives of physical activity and depression relationships, contributing to further triangulation of evidence to inform potentially more precise physical activity interventions. #ACSM24

Informative overview and introduction by Matthew Ahmadi to the Highlighted Symposium - "Novel Insights on Physical Behaviour and Non-Communicable Disease through Application of Wearables". #ACSM24. Large potential of wearable sensors and AI to inform the evidence-base.

Informative talk by Stuart Trost about the uptake and implementation of machine learning techniques with wearable devices: is there a lack of innovation or diffusion failure? Announces new 'Actimetric' R package in R #ACSM24

Steps for health: where are we up to? Nice evidence synthesis and discussion by Borja del Pozo Cruz 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

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

Nicely set up Symposium by Caroline Apovian MD John M. Jakicic, PhD Renee J. Rogers, PhD on focusing/positioning PA & lifestyle modification in the context of contemporary anti-obesity drugs (eg GLP-1 RAs). Rapidly moving space. New ACSM consensus statement on obesity management coming soon! #ACSM24

Nice harmonized accelerometer meta-analysis led by Jakob Tarp across 9 prospective studies in adults—building up activity volume linked to lower mortality risk, with some added benefit from more moderate intensity activity ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-… #PublicHealth #PhysicalActivity

How much exercise is needed to increase life expectancy? Turns out a little goes a long way. This new study in over 71,000 people (aged 60+) found: ➡️Higher volumes and intensities of exercise = greater benefits (up to 3.5 to 4.6 extra years for women and men, respectively).
