Sixth Fuse Physical Activity Workshop Physical activity in an ageing population: active, longer lives Date: Thursday, 19 May 2016 Time: 9.00am - 3.45pm Research Beehive, Newcastle University Tweet about the event using the hashtag #FusePAW What are the Physical Activity workshops about? The aim of the Fuse Physical Activity Workshops is to share knowledge about physical activity research and to increase networking between academics and policy and practice partners. This workshop will focus on physical activity in an ageing population. Bob Laventure from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) National Centre for Physical Activity and Health at Loughborough University, will give the plenary presentation on active ageing. This will be followed by a number of presentations and workshops on associations between physical activity and health outcomes and interventions to promote physical activity in older individuals. One of the aims of this event is to promote networking opportunities. Therefore, we hope that the interactive discussions, coffee breaks and lunchtime walk will give attendees the chance to develop collaborative relationships. Who should attend? This event is intended for professionals with an interest in physical activity and is open to delegates from academia, and the private, public and voluntary sectors. Catering Tea and coffee will be provided on at registration and mid-morning break. Lunch will not be provided but there are various catering outlets on campus.
