  • Measuring SB and PA in Older Adults - Dr Olli Tikkanen

    Measuring SB and PA in Older Adults - Dr Olli Tikkanen
    May 2 2024
    This episode focuses on the important task of measuring sedentary behavior and physical activity among older adults. Based on an article from the team, this discussion emphasizes the growing need to accurately assess these behaviors as our global population ages. Proper measurement is crucial for supporting health, independence, and quality of life in the elderly. Dr. Tikkanen explores both the challenges and methods involved in tracking physical activity and sedentary periods, highlighting the role of strength training in promoting independence among seniors. The conversation covers a range of measurement techniques, from device-based methods like accelerometers to subjective approaches such as questionnaires and diaries. Each method's advantages and limitations are discussed, providing insights into how they can be effectively used to gather meaningful data on older adults' activity levels. The episode stresses the importance of choosing the right tools to meet research objectives while considering the unique characteristics of the elderly population. Dr. Tikkanen wraps up by discussing how combining different measurement methods can offer a more comprehensive view of an older adult's physical activity patterns and sedentary behavior. This multifaceted approach not only enhances the accuracy of the data collected but also supports the development of personalized interventions aimed at improving the health and well-being of the elderly. Listeners are encouraged to explore the resources mentioned for a deeper understanding of this critical aspect of geriatric health research. __________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

  • Long-Term Cognitive Gains from Exercise (with ASD, ADHD and Preterm Children) - Dr. Sebastian Ludyga (Pt2) - Active Brain Miniseries

    Long-Term Cognitive Gains from Exercise (with ASD, ADHD and Preterm Children) - Dr. Sebastian Ludyga (Pt2) - Active Brain Miniseries
    Apr 30 2024
    In the second part of this enlightening episode of the "Physical Activity Researcher Podcast," Dr. Sebastian Ludyga continues his discussion with host Dr. Olli Tikkanen, delving into the complexities of exercise and its effects on cognition, particularly in the context of long-term changes. Dr. Ludyga explains how different types of physical activities affect cognitive processes, emphasizing the intricate relationship between motor skills and cognitive functions. This episode further explores Dr. Ludyga's current research on the acute and long-term cognitive benefits of physical exercise. He shares insights into studies involving children with ADHD and preterm infants, illustrating how tailored physical activities can improve executive functions such as inhibitory control and working memory. The conversation sheds light on the mechanisms behind these improvements, highlighting the importance of coordinating motor skills and cognitive exercises to reap the most benefits. Listeners will also gain an understanding of the challenges and surprises encountered in translating acute exercise benefits into long-term cognitive improvements. Dr. Ludyga discusses the variable outcomes across different groups and the nuances of designing interventions that effectively support cognitive development in children, particularly those born preterm or with ADHD. This discussion is not only informative for researchers and practitioners in the fields of physical activity and cognitive science but also offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the practical applications of exercise science to enhance cognitive health and development across different populations. _______________________________________________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.
