Full Description:: Join us for two talks as part of the 2019 HMNS Seminar series.

'Becoming an agent of change: Key learning experiences for coaches in Sport for Development contexts' by Dr Steven Rynne from the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences.
Generally, sport-for-development (SfD) targets marginalised communities through programs of physical activity, mostly described as sport. We argue that the nature of the sporting experience for Indigenous participants within the context of SfD initiatives is contingent upon the nature of the educators, their background, experiences and training, relative to the groups with which they are working.

'Understanding the vascular contributions to brain health in adults at risk of dementia' by Dr Tom Bailey from the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences. This talk will highlight our recent advances in understanding the potential treatment targets for adults with cognitive decline, including both brain vascular function and systemic cardiovascular health.

No RSVP needed. All welcome
