Join us at UOW Sutherland Shire on Thursday 5 September 2024 for insightful presentations focusing on the latest research advancements in how differences between the sexes matter.
Hear from exercise science Associate Professor Ric Lovell and neurologist Dr Samara Walpole, as they delve into why sex-specific exercise programs and mental health interventions are critical to ensure optimum outcomes.
Both Samara and Ric will present a comprehensive overview of their research in women’s sport and exercise programs in targeted brain- and mental health interventions. The discussion will explore why it is important to cater for sex-specific practices to ensure optimum physical and mental performance.
Their presentations have been designed with a diverse public audience in mind, and this event is open to the general public. High school students are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Each presentation will last 15-20 minutes, and be followed by an interactive Q&A session where the audience are invited to engage with the researchers.
