Content

HSE316 explores the benefits of physical activity from an epidemiological perspective. Students apply critical thinking skills to understand the roles physical activity and sedentary behaviour (e.g., sitting) play in preventing chronic disease. Contemporary issues are explored, in particular in relation to promoting physical activity. This unit is taught over a series of interactive seminars.
