📢Research from Universidade Federal de Pelotas UFRGS found that performing even a low volume of muscle-strengthening exercises combined with aerobic activities might be a protective factor against #BreastCancer related muscle wasting and will improve breast cancer survivors' quality of life.

Expand. Extend. Enhance. In this commentary, @Rtassitano discusses key actions to be taken to maximise #physicalactivity opportunities during school hours & proposes how regular access to structured play can pave the way to improved public health doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2…

As any parent or educator will know, kids need structure. This is no different for #physicalactivity. Rafael Tassitano highlights the importance of structured play opportunities & how a disruption to these can trigger a cascade of negative health behaviors doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2…
