Congratulations to Tony Okely
Congratulations to Tony Okely on his recent presentation at the Big Ideas Festival on May 8 at the innovation campus. This festival featured presentations by 12 of the University's most recently-appointed professors, talking about the 'big ideas' in their research. Professor Okely spoke of the need to make pre-school students more active by having them spend more time standing, saying 46% of a pre-schoolers day is spend sitting down. He said children who spent more time standing up or being otherwise active would learn more effectively, have better cognitive development and reduce the risk of developing obesity.
