I don’t know why it took me til my last day in Saskatoon to have my first @TimHortons. This is literally the tastiest (and also the cheapest) coffee + donuts I’ve ever had. #timbits
Wonderful to listen to @JohnCairney68 from @UQHealth present the Don Bailey lecture at #naspem2022. An inspirational presentation on physical activity and mental health @USaskKin
Perhaps my favourite quote (so far) of @naspem “Living with CHD doesn’t mean living without activity. The best gift we can give our children is the chance to play and move like heart-healthy peers” @CHEO @haloresearch
All the way from Australia 🐨, PhD candidate @cajanderson kicks off our second free communication session presenting his findings from a systematic review on the safety and efficacy of exercise training in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease. #NASPEM2022
The 2022 HaBS #3MT Faculty Final results are in!
Congratulations to Chris Anderson (@cajanderson) from #UQ’s School of Human Movement & Nutrition Sciences who was the winner with his 3MT: 'The need for physical activity in children with congenital heart defects'.

@cajanderson
Thank you for reading! Work supported by @CRExPAH_UQ@jefcoombes@shelley_keating@jessica_suna@derekleetran + Julian Ayer & Rachael Cordina
Also recommend reading the protocol paper for the F-FIT Trial, which my PhD project is affiliated with: https://t.co/07gW6vJlNQ
It's been long thought that exercise training is unsafe for children with heart defects, but what does the evidence show? Read our new pre-print: "Safety and efficacy of exercise in children and adolescents with CHD" to find out! https://t.co/PU90eNTbEJ - explainer thread below:
FUTURE RESEARCH:
- NEED to separate Fontan from other CHD subgroups due to significantly different physiology and exercise response
- NEEDS to clearly state trial characteristics for intervention replication in real-world practice
- NEED more consensus on trial outcomes in CHD
✅MILESTONE COMPLETE✅
Congratulations to @cajanderson for a successful PhD #Confirmation presentation❗️
He will be investigating exercise prescription for paediatric congenital heart disease.
