Super work from our Irish PG's @UCC @CIT_SLCS at the #motorcompetenceresearch @covcampus with @MikeDunky - #movement in children is ALIVE

[activeforlife @activeforlife]

Two recent studies demonstrated that reduced sitting in the classroom and increased physical activity after school, both gave a boost to executive functioning. More evidence to get up and move! #activeforlife https://t.co/ieYXpq4cur

Are schools adding to the physical inactivity problem? @taracoppinger @CIT_ie on the need for initiatives to promote healthy eating & physical activity in Irish primary schools https://t.co/U0oP1ZVfQB

[Tara Coppinger @taracoppinger]

Always great to be able to spread the word about @ProjectSpraoi - thanks @RTEBrainstorm! https://t.co/68VLR6iN28

[Project Spraoi @ProjectSpraoi]

Thanks a million to all involved in shooting our new FMS interactive resource to aid the teaching and learning of how to score performances of the TGMD-2 - especially @CIT_TLU, @CIT_SLCS, @ConBurns. A massive thanks to @DrSkillAcq and our 2 superstar actors - you were amazing! ☺ https://t.co/g2J34FPO91

[Dr Edward Coughlan @DrSkillAcq]

Fantastic. Worth considering @CIT_ie for any future @CIT_SLCS developments. https://t.co/bVeTFSEdtM

[Prof Paul Gately @profpaulgately]

What efforts? Of course the efforts are failing as they are minimal. Tackling #childhood #obesity isn’t a UK priority. It’s a talked about priority, but what is said “world leading plan” & what is done are very different, hence #obesity continues to rise https://t.co/mKpWXuL2cL
