Our team are delighted to have been awarded $1 million from @heartfoundation for a multi-state hybrid study to explore the longer term impact of the @AussieFITorg program whilst exploring how we can scale up Aussie-FIT to be sustained in more WA clubs & scale out to QLD & NT🧵1/7

[Curtin Media @CurtinMedia]

Thanks to a funding boost from @heartfoundation, the @CurtinUni-led men’s health program @AussieFITorg will be able to ‘scale up and out’ through more WA football clubs and Aussie states to help men at risk or diagnosed with #cardiovascular disease improve their health.

#Physicalactivity research, communication & policy has evolved over the past 17yrs, yet reported leisure time PA has not. Inequalities have also remained marked, highlighting an urgent need to address social determinants of health

Hegemonic masculinity and men's socialised gender roles make it challenging for men to discuss their mental health and seek help. Men's emotional disclosure is important, despite socio-cultural expectations. Timely article published right after R U OK? Day 🙂

We’re told to exercise because it’s “good for us”.

But are health benefits enough incentive for most people to exercise regularly?

Truth is, most health benefits associated with exercise are both time-delayed and intangible.

And both of these factors tend to devalue these benefits.

Couple this with our tendency to:

- Avoid effort
- Prioritise immediate rewards, and
- Play down our risk of future negative events

For many, the short-term costs of exercise outweigh the long-term benefits.

It’s tough to compete with other more sedentary options providing immediate rewards with minimal (or no) effort.

Part of the solution?

To increase our focus on the many short-term benefits of exercise - such as enhanced pleasure, mood, or enjoyment.

If we don’t exercise for long-term health benefits, we should just because it can make us feel good.

Agreed.

This should be first line of every guidance on sport/physical activity.

It was why we created the Consensus statement to reframe risk perception https://t.co/tCZsgIlTxr
