Are you having a hard time meeting the physical activity guidelines? Or do you just find 'regular walking' downright boring?

Try silly walking! 🚶‍♂️🚶🚶‍♀️

Scientifically proven AND approved by the great @JohnCleese and his Ministry of Silly Walks.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Adults could achieve global physical activity targets by walking inefficiently for just a few minutes each day, finds this study #ChristmasBMJ

Includes a visual abstract summarising the findings #BMJInfographic

Zondag gaf ik op @dagvdwetenschap een workshop over hoe 65+'ers hun denkvermogen elke dag scherp kunnen houden (hint: misschien wel door beweging!). Na een korte presentatie konden de deelnemers de cognitieve testen uit onze studie eens uitproberen.
Een zeer leuke ervaring!

[PA & Health @PA_Health_UGent]

Ook onze onderzoeksgroep zal van de partij zijn op @dagvdwetenschap! Lees hieronder verder welke onderzoeken we aan jullie zullen voorstellen 👇👇👇

[Fien De Block @FienDeBlock_]

Voor iedereen die zich nog steeds afvraagt wat ik nu eigenlijk doe op mijn werk: kom mij bezoeken op @dagvdwetenschap! Ik zal je uitleggen hoe ik met mijn onderzoek 65+'ers probeer te helpen om hun denkvermogen elke dag scherpte houden!

Hi twitter folks!

In May I defended my #PhD🎓on Optimizing #rehabilitation interventions in men with #prostatecancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy

Following 🧵summarizes most important findings

[Health Promotion UGent @HealthUGent]

Fien De Block (@FienDeBlock_) and Louise Poppe (@louise_poppe) presented their poster at the #BHE_2021 conference focusing on the impact of physical activity on the brain.

[Joris Vaesen @jorisvaesen]

Vorige week meldde @PedroFacon dat 55% van de gehospitaliseerden zijn gevaccineerd. De meerderheid zijn gevaccineerden, dus is het toch niet de golf van de ongevaccineerden? Toch wel, een draadje. 👇 /1

[Anneke_VDD @Anneke_VDD]

Did you know that 57% of Flemish adolescents do not meet the norm of 8hours of sleep per night?
Another epidemic that needs to be solved urgently!

Janneke and Lea will develop and test a school-based intervention to promote healthy behavior @health_cascade. @FienDeBlock_ will examine whether physical activity benefits daily cognition in older adults, and whether this relationship is mediated by sleep and mental wellbeing.
