Dr Clare Dix will cover the Grow&Go Toolbox developed as part of the Nutritious Tools project.

Join us to learn more about the program of research undertaken by two HMNS researchers: Dr Jenna Taylor and Dr Brooke Devlin

Stuart Biddle is Professor of Physical Activity and Health and head of the Physically Active Lifestyles (PALs) Research Group in the Centre for Health Research, at UniSQ

Presentation by the Health and Wellbeing Centre for Reseach Innovation. Details to be confirmed

The aim is to present the case for Hungarian heritage populism through the lens of traditional games by analysing the reinvention of the National Gallop (horse race), the UNESCO-validated táncház (“dance house”) movement, and the mass pageantry of the Kurultáj cultural festival.

Brisbane on track to be Australia’s home of Paralympic sport

Special information and discussion session on the Australian Research Council (ARC) research funding opportunities.

Dr Elizabeth Lin ( Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto) will present the results of a pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) against Training As Usual (TAU) in terms of the acquisition and 1-month post-training retention of self-protection team control skills as well as the impact on staff confidence.

The Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences Postgraduate Student Conference aims to promote greater relationships, integration and collaboration between the diverse disciplines within the field of human movement studies and nutrition sciences.

Dr Cain’s research is informed by both qualitative and quantitative methodology with a focus on weight stigma and the quantification of discourses around “obesity” and fatness.

LifeMatters began at an orphanage in Mexico and has now developed into a program combing physically active games with psychological skills.

Eva-Maria will presents recent findings from her team, suggesting that the remapping between motor commands and intended movement direction is a crucial driver to modify spatial attention in the absence of visuo-spatial distortion or visuo-proprioceptive mismatch.

This presentation will describe precision nutrition as a new approach in research, and Single Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs) as a robust research framework to assess individual response. SCEDs will be used in an intervention with Motor Neuron Disease patients to mitigate disease-related weight loss.

This presentation describes a study on how reach behaviour and brain responses to target presentation were affected by presenting one of four potential targets more frequently than its alternatives, and by providing a larger reward for hitting one of four potential targets.

A/Bauer will describe a randomized controlled trial that improved patient-related outcomes (nutritional status, quality of life, treatment interruptions) during radiation therapy (RT) using a novel method of training dietitians to deliver motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy to improve nutritional behaviours in patients with head and neck cancer.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease mainly affecting older adults. The knee is the most commonly affected joint. Abnormal mechanical loading of the joint has been implicated as one of the main contributors to disease progression. Musculoskeletal simulations have provided insights on the potential role calf muscles have on knee joint loading suggesting that age-related decline in calf muscle function may be detrimental for knee joint health.

This talk will highlight our recent advances in understanding the potential treatment targets for adults with cognitive decline, including both brain vascular function and systemic cardiovascular health.
