Operationalizing Co-Design in Exercise Interventions with Indigenous Peoples in Australia
Indigenous Australians experience a disproportionate burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. While clinician-led, community-based exercise programs are effective in general populations, limited peer-reviewed evidence is available describing culturally adapted exercise interventions with Indigenous Australians that transparently reports governance, cultural adaptation, and theoretical design. This paper reports the co-design…
Culturally Adapted, Clinician-Led, Bilingual Group Exercise Program for Older Migrant Adults
Australia's aging migrant population experiences higher rates of chronic disease and social isolation, highlighting the need for culturally appropriate health promotion programs. This study evaluated the effectiveness of "Move Together", a culturally adapted community-based group exercise and education intervention for Mandarin-speaking Chinese Australians aged 65+ years. The Model for Adaptation, Design, and Impact framework guided the adaptatio…
Can an Authentic Assessment Task Improve the Health Behaviours of Undergraduate Students
Currently, more than ever, the mental and physical well-being of university students have been identified as priorities, and universities are well placed to address well-being by integrating health promotion into their courses. This study looks at the effectiveness of embedding an authentic assessment task to improve health-seeking behaviours related to sleep, stress, and nutrition into the curricula of undergraduate health-science students. Qual…
Overcoming Silos
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of being adaptable and flexible in our teaching practices in higher education. Traditionally, a siloed approach to curriculum development has dominated in higher education institutions. These silos are known to create inefficiencies and, in the context of developing teaching resources, often result in the duplication of curricula, resulting in wasted effort and time, and inconsistent teaching p…
Community-Based Exercise and Lifestyle Program Improves Health Outcomes in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Participation in Beat It improved important health outcomes in older adults with T2DM. A longer-term follow-up is needed to determine whether these positive changes were maintained beyond the delivery of the program
