🏅Vandaag starten de Nationale Spelen van @SOBelgium. En toch is het voor mensen met een verstandelijke #beperking niet zo eenvoudig om te sporten. 👬@LauraMaenhout doet onderzoek naar wat hen kan motiveren: "Een sportmaatje of buddy kan wonderen doen." linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Assume that they can, so maybe they will 💪

Great lab, great colleagues 👇☺️

In this new blog, I write about: 1. All that's wrong in academia—including bad papers, broken peer-review, the publishing industry, and precarious contracts. 2. How important it is *not* to become a cynic. 3. And my personal antidotes to cynicism creep. eiko-fried.com/antidotes-to-c…

Calling all “weekend warriors”: Is just 1-2 exercise or sport sessions per week enough for health benefits? Compared to those who did no exercise or sport, “weekend warriors” had a 14% reduced risk of mortality from all causes. Those doing more regular exercise or sport (3 or more times per week) had a similar (15%) reduction in mortality risk. One caveat was substantial risk reductions only occurred with exercise durations of at least 30–60 min per session. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

⛹️Dat sporten gezond is, wisten we al langer. Maar dat het bijna even krachtig 💪kan zijn als bloeddrukmedicatie: dat is toch wel indrukwekkend. Prof. Tine De Backer: "Niet enkel lopen, maar ook intensief dansen 🕺, houthakken 🪓 of tuinieren 🧑‍🌾werkt!" hln.be/gezondheid/dit…
