Great talk from @Daniel_Bingham - reminding us of the important role surveillance data plays in identifying populations who have the greatest need for physical activity interventions!
#SSHB2024
Great to see @I_CA_D data presented at #sshb2024 by the fabulous @JoeyJMurphy Take home message: the association of physical activity with cardiometabolic health in children, differs by risk factors.
@alesgaba@SilviaCosta33 Our pleasure @alesgaba! Really happy you enjoyed it, and we hope you had some good discussions and networking to take back home! 😊
Maybe have a peek at our website and see if you want to join us 😉
