ISPAH Congress 2022 on the 23rd - 26th of October 2022.Over 90% of the evidence used for guidelines development is based on questionnaires. In the last decade there has been a large increase in device-based cohorts that will likely inform the next generation of guidelines.

The symposium’s sessions will discuss the strengths and complexities encountered during the transition of future guidelines from questionnaire-based to accelerometer-measured evidence, and will highlight the instrumental role that ProPASS and other analogous consortia can play in enabling a smooth transition towards device-based and truly global physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep guidelines.Speakers:Professor Fiona Bull (World Health Organization)Professor Ulf Ekelund (Norwegian School of Sport Sciences & ProPASS)Associate Professor Karen Milton (ISPAH & University of East Anglia)Professor Jasper Schipperijn (ISPAH & University of Southern Denmark)Dr Matthew Ahmadi (University of Sydney & ProPASS)Dr Jo Blodgett (University College London & ProPASS)Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis (University of Sydney & ProPASS)Professor Peter Katzmarzyk (Louisiana State University)
 
 

Effects of Exercise on Ostoarthritis - Dr Søren Thorgaard Skou (Pt3)

Søren Thorgaard Skou (PT, MSc, PhD) has vast experience within the field of osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions and has been the principal investigator of several high-quality randomized controlled trials on surgical and non-surgical treatment, one of which was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (impact factor of 79.26), the highest ranked of all general medical journals.
Currently, he is the principal investigator of a randomized, controlled trial of meniscal surgery vs. exercise therapy and education for young people with a meniscal tear (DREAM) and a 5-year EU-funded project (MOBILIZE, grant agreement No 801790) with the overall aim of improving health in people with more than one chronic condition (i.e. multimorbidity) through personalized exercise therapy and education.
Furthermore, he is the co-lead of Exercise First, a research program funded by Region Zealand aimed at developing, testing and implementing initaitives that support that the individual patient received the right prevention and treatment at the right time and to increase self-management using e-health. 
He is one of the main architects and leader of the implementation of the highly successful treatment program Good Life With osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) for patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis.
Furthermore, he is a recipient of a prestigious ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council, and a postdoc grant and a Sapere Aude Research Talent Award from the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

Emotions in Sport: Philosophical Perspectives - Dr Yunus Tuncel (Pt 2) - Meaningful Sport Series

This is the second part of our conversation with Dr Yunus Tuncel on philosophical approaches to emotions in sport. We explore how Kierkegaard's and Heidegger's account of anxiety can be applied to think of risk sports, discuss violence and aggression, and finish up on how to care for emotions in sport from a more practical perspective.
Our conversation draws heavily on Yunus's book Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives.
Dr Yunus Tuncel teaches Philosophy at The New School, New York, and in New York University’s Liberal Studies Programme. He is a co-founder of the Nietzsche Circle and a member of the Editorial Board of its journal The Agonist. Yunus is also the founder of Philomobile, which is a travel organisation offering trips to those interested in studying philosophy on the road (http://www.philomobile.com/).

Found the episode interesting? Our previous conversation with Yunus can be found here: Part 1, Part 2. Related conversation on risk sports and authentic existence with Prof. Gunnar Breivik is here.

Emotions in Sport: Philosophical Perspectives - Dr Yunus Tuncel (Pt 1) - Meaningful Sport Series

In this episode, we explore emotions in sport from a philosophical perspective. How are philosophical perspectives different from the more established psychological perspectives? How can ideas found in Aristotle, Nietzsche, Hume and Spinoza help us establish a framework to explore emotions in sport? Why are certain emotions and their balance essential for sustaining our sporting culture as we know it today, or could we find a better emotional balance in our individual and collective sporting lives?
Our conversation draws heavily on Yunus's book Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives.
Dr Yunus Tuncel teaches Philosophy at The New School, New York, and in New York University’s Liberal Studies Programme. He is a co-founder of the Nietzsche Circle and a member of the Editorial Board of its journal The Agonist. Yunus is also the founder of Philomobile, which is a travel organisation offering trips to those interested in studying philosophy on the road (http://www.philomobile.com/).
The conversation continues in Part 2 with a focus on more specific emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger and joy in sport.

Found the episode interesting? Our previous conversation with Yunus can be found here: Part 1, Part 2. Related conversation on risk sports and authentic existence with Prof. Gunnar Breivik is here.
 

Analyses of Harmonized Device-Based Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Data - Dr Jakob Tarp - ISPAH & ProPASS Event

Dr. Jakob Tarp: analyses of harmonized device-based data
Fiona Bull: PROPASS online satellite meeting [ISPAH 2022]. Towards the 1st device-based guidelines of physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep. Introduction from WHO.
Audio podcast of satellite event of the ProPASS consortium-ISPAH partnership: “Towards the 1st device-based guidelines of physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep
ISPAH Congress 2022 on the 23rd - 26th of October 2022.Over 90% of the evidence used for guidelines development is based on questionnaires. In the last decade there has been a large increase in device-based cohorts that will likely inform the next generation of guidelines. Compared to questionnaires, devices such as accelerometers capture very different aspects of physical activity, posture and sleep. The symposium’s sessions will discuss the strengths and complexities encountered during the transition of future guidelines from questionnaire-based to accelerometer-measured evidence, and will highlight the instrumental role that ProPASS and other analogous consortia can play in enabling a smooth transition towards device-based and truly global physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep guidelines.Speakers:Professor Fiona Bull (World Health Organization)Professor Ulf Ekelund (Norwegian School of Sport Sciences & ProPASS)Associate Professor Karen Milton (ISPAH & University of East Anglia)Professor Jasper Schipperijn (ISPAH & University of Southern Denmark)Dr Matthew Ahmadi (University of Sydney & ProPASS)Dr Jo Blodgett (University College London & ProPASS)Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis (University of Sydney & ProPASS)Professor Peter Katzmarzyk (Louisiana State University)

Opportunities for Physical Activity Research in EU Projects - Dr Miriam Cabrita (Pt1)

What type of projects want to measure PA?
Considerations when choosing an activity tracker grouped in three main topics:
Participant-centric:
Research and innovation driven
Regulatory
Dr Miriam Cabrita has done her Bachelor and Master degrees at NOVA School of Science and Technology in Portugal, and her PhD in biomedical engineering in University of Twente
Then she has worked at Roessingh Research and Development Center in Netherlands for 8 years coordinating and managing EU research projects related to eHealth
Teaching also courses on Physical Activity, Digital Health and Virtual Coaching at the University of Twente.
She has acted as a Board Member for 5 years in International Society for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour (ISMPB)

Why Every Research Team Needs an Astrophysicist! Sleep, Circadian Rhythm, EEG... Dr Christina Reynolds (Pt1)

Christina Reynolds, PhD
Christina Reynolds received her Ph.D. in astrophysics from University College London and a Master's degree in software engineering from Harvard University. She has been a Data Scientist with ORCATECH with a focus on developing algorithms for the analysis of ORCATECH's large and diverse data set. 
Much of her research career has involved developing software algorithms used to fabricate and test the optics for the European Extremely Large Telescope and the IRIS space telescope. At ORCATECH, she focused on designing a wide variety of algorithms for deriving information about life and health patterns from ORCATECH’s sensor data, including characterizing activity and sleep behaviors.
