In this episode, we are joined by Stuart Biddle. Stuart Biddle is a professor of Physical Activity and Health. His current research interests centre on sedentary behaviour and physical activity, behaviour change strategies, and mental health outcomes. Vikas and Stuart discussed the relationship between physical activity and mental health. We also discussed the determinants, interventions, and well-being strategies for improved physical & mental health.
Here are some key takeaways:

  • How the physical environment that allows you to exercise can lead to less stress, depression & improved self-esteem.
  • Dedicating time for physical activity alongside studies has proven to give better academic performance.
  • The impact of physical activity on executive functioning, which are aspects of your brain that allows you to memorize and process information.
  • One hour of daily physical activity in children alongside their daily schedule, and how it makes them active & less stressed.
  • The role of active commuting in making our lives happy & less stressful.
  • How selecting a sport that you enjoy can help you to be non-sedentary & prioritize your fitness.
