Podcasts:
Dr Robert Sallis serves as the chairman for the Exercise is Medicine initiative and previously served as president of the American College of Sports Medicine.He discusses how clinicians can assess current physical activity levels and motivate patients to meet guideline levels. He also discusses the implications of the May 2010 release of the National Physical Activity Plan in the US.
Dr Genevieve Healy, from the University of Queensland, discusses the recently-recognised phenomenon of ‘sitting’ being a risk factor for cardiac events and mortality independently of ‘physical activity’. She reports that a single 30-minute bout of physical activity does not guarantee cardiac health. The practical implications are that there should be more ‘standing meetings’, ‘standing breaks’ and remote controls being kept out of reach while watching TV.
