Yesterday, prominent guest speakers visited the the Research Seminar Series in Sport Sciences at the Dept. of Sport Sciences, Malm\u00f6 University \u2013 which, in case you\u2019ve missed it, is hosting next year\u2019s\u00a0ECSS Congress.<\/p>\n

\"pfeiffer\"Karen A Pfeiffer\u2019s (from Michigan State University) first area of research is measurement of physical activity; the second area is interventions to increase physical activity. These two research interests were nicely combined in the work she has been doing together with others in order to publish guidelines and an overview (review-review) of what research has to say about interventions with the aim to increase physical activity among children and youth that actually work. An important result was that enhanced PE seems to be the way to go. So what is enhanced PE? Well, it is not enough to increase hours of PA \u2013 PA has to have a certain quality too. It is important to learn skills \u2013 not only to be physically active. This is interesting and raises questions of\u00a0how to make sure that children meet educated PE teachers! Pfeiffer also pointed to new research on the importance of building environments that people like to be physically active in. In conclusion, she talked\u00a0about future research and the needs to concentrate on optimal age range for specific approaches, long-term follow-up, and that we need to compare effects across race, ethnicity and socio-ecnomic\u00a0groups.<\/p>\n

Check out the report that laid the basis for Karen Pfeiffer\u2019s talk.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"andersen\"Lars Bo Andersen (University of Southern Denmark) took over the lectern after\u00a0Karen Pfeiffer. Denmark has introduced 45 minutes PA per day during school hours. Except for presenting convincing research on the importance of increased PA, Anderson presented a few different studies on intervention projects. It should be easy to use the results from these studies to convince politicians in other countries! Even so, it is difficult to change people\u2019s minds \u2013 we know PA is good for you, and how PA can improve health \u2013 this is still not enough to make people change their habits. Andersen will chair one of the sessions at the ECSS congress in Malm\u00f6 \u2013 so, the discussion will surely continue! We look forward to it!!<\/p>\n
