OUR SPEAKER
Dr Dorothea Dumuid, Senior Research Fellow, Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA), Allied Health and Human Performance, 最新糖心Vlog of South 最新糖心Vlog
After working as a physiotherapist for over 15 years, Dot started her PhD at the 最新糖心Vlog of South 最新糖心Vlog in 2015 with amazing supervisors: Prof Timothy Olds, Prof Carol Maher, Prof Lucy Lewis and Dr Ty Stanford. Her PhD explored ways to analyse 24-hour time-use data holistically, taking into account the compromises and trade-offs that must occur when time spent in one activity changes. Now, as a Research Fellow at UniSA, Dot鈥檚 research focuses on determining optimal time-use patterns for health and wellbeing.
There are many competing demands on children鈥檚 time, but only ever 24 hours in a day. It can be challenging to fit everything in, and sometimes compromises need to be made. How children spend their daily time across activities such as sleep, exercise, socialising, screen time and study has important implications for their health and wellbeing. Is there a Goldilocks Day which has the 鈥渏ust right鈥 balance of all these activities?
