Measurement that moves you: Insights from the ‘Measure It!’ trial
2025-10-21 16:00 - 17:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
Event description

Large-scale problems, such as physical inactivity, require scalable solutions. The MRFF funded Measure It! multicentre randomised trial examined whether frequency of physical activity measurement (self-report and step-tracker daily steps), with very brief advice from cardiac rehabilitation clinicians (Measure It!; <5min), influenced physical activity in 190 physically inactive cardiac rehabilitation attendees over 6-months. Here we will share our implementation and effectiveness results, recommending ways that this simple and innovative approach to physical activity promotion within cardiac rehabilitation may be incorporated into your program.
Our speakers:
Professor Nicole Freene
Nicole is a Professor at the University of Canberra. She has been practicing as a physiotherapist for more than 25 years and her research focuses on increasing physical activity levels and decreasing sedentary behaviour in adults, both in healthy and cardiac populations, and physical activity promotion by health professionals.

Jess Seymour
Jess is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and PhD Candidate at the University of Canberra. Working across the public and community healthcare sectors, she has developed a passion for supporting people with chronic conditions to live active and healthy lives through quality, evidence-based interventions.
