Can Exercise and Physical Activity Optimise the Wellbeing of Populations? Prof. Thompson

Plenary Session “Exercise, Energy Intake, Brain Health and Well Being” at ECSS Malmö 2015.
Can Exercise and Physical Activity Optimise the Wellbeing of Populations?
Thompson, J..
The University of Birmingham.
Existing evidence suggests that engagement in structured exercise programmes or lifestyle physical activity is associated with better.
physical and mental health. Much of the evidence to date has focused on examining the effects of exercise and physical activity on.
physical and cognitive function, and psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety. Studies have predominantly assessed a.
range of psychological and wellbeing measures in relatively small groups of individuals within settings such as worksites, education,.
clinical populations, or within specific age groups (e.g. older adults). There is a very limited body of evidence examining the role of.
exercise and physical activity in optimising communityor population-level health. This presentation will provide an overview of the.
current evidence, and will examine the complexities and challenges inherent in this area of research, including the: 1) multitude of.
outcome measures used to represent ‘wellbeing’; 2) difficulty in controlling for the plethora of personal, social, economic, and.
environmental factors that can strongly influence wellbeing; and 3) lack of methodological approaches capable of elucidating.
physiological and psychological mechanisms explaining changes in wellbeing. In addition, examples of funded initiatives working to.
integrate multi-disciplinary and multi-level approaches to optimising the wellbeing of populations will be discussed.

Physical activity and exercise: A lifespan approach to maintain health

Show Description

Following the Progress in MS Research Scientific Conference, a public lecture was held to share the exciting MS research progress with the community..
Associate Professor Jenny McGinley, a physiotherapist presented a lecture titled “Physical activity and exercise: A lifespan approach to maintain health”.
MS Research Australia is the largest national not-for-profit organisation dedicated to funding and coordinating multiple sclerosis research in Australia, as part of the worldwide effort to solve MS. Its goal is to accelerate research: into the cause, better treatments and prevention, with the aim of ultimately finding a cure for MS…
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults, often diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 40 and affects three times more women than men. As yet, there is no cure. MS is the result of damage to myelin a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system. When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body. The symptoms of MS are different for each person; sometimes they even vary within the same person. For some, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission, while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

The health benefits of a light physical activity level may include better blood cholesterol levels, reduced body fat, improved blood pressure, and improved metabolic health. Those who are lightly active also experience improved quality of life and typically have a lower risk of developing chronic disease. Moderate Physical Activity Level.Regular physical activity improves your brain health, helps with weight management, reduces disease, strengthens bones and muscles, and improves your ability to do everyday activities.

Learn more. Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health.Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.

Regular physical activity can help to lower your blood pressure levels if you have high blood pressure. It can also help to prevent high blood pressure from developing. High blood pressure is one of the risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

The benefits of physical activity exhibit a dose-response relationship; the higher the amount of physical activity, the greater the health benefits. However, the most unfit individuals have the potential for the greatest reduction in risk, even with small increases in physical activity.Physical Activity Guidelines, 2008 [PDF 8.49 MB] The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines provides evidence-based guidance to help Americans ages 6 and older maintain or improve their health through regular physical activity.
