Are you having a hard time meeting the physical activity guidelines? Or do you just find 'regular walking' downright boring?
Try silly walking! 🚶♂️🚶🚶♀️
Scientifically proven AND approved by the great @JohnCleese and his Ministry of Silly Walks.
Adults could achieve global physical activity targets by walking inefficiently for just a few minutes each day, finds this study #ChristmasBMJ
Includes a visual abstract summarising the findings #BMJInfographic

Zondag gaf ik op @dagvdwetenschap een workshop over hoe 65+'ers hun denkvermogen elke dag scherp kunnen houden (hint: misschien wel door beweging!). Na een korte presentatie konden de deelnemers de cognitieve testen uit onze studie eens uitproberen.
Een zeer leuke ervaring!

Ook onze onderzoeksgroep zal van de partij zijn op @dagvdwetenschap! Lees hieronder verder welke onderzoeken we aan jullie zullen voorstellen 👇👇👇
Voor iedereen die zich nog steeds afvraagt wat ik nu eigenlijk doe op mijn werk: kom mij bezoeken op @dagvdwetenschap! Ik zal je uitleggen hoe ik met mijn onderzoek 65+'ers probeer te helpen om hun denkvermogen elke dag scherpte houden!

Vorige week meldde @PedroFacon dat 55% van de gehospitaliseerden zijn gevaccineerd. De meerderheid zijn gevaccineerden, dus is het toch niet de golf van de ongevaccineerden? Toch wel, een draadje. 👇 /1

Did you know that 57% of Flemish adolescents do not meet the norm of 8hours of sleep per night?
Another epidemic that needs to be solved urgently!

Janneke and Lea will develop and test a school-based intervention to promote healthy behavior @health_cascade. @FienDeBlock_ will examine whether physical activity benefits daily cognition in older adults, and whether this relationship is mediated by sleep and mental wellbeing.
