This Men's Health Week (10-16 June 2024), we're inviting men across Australia to join our free Men's Health Check-Ins – a series of online lunchtime talks focusing on key health topics.
CHECK IN #1: Why exercise is the best medicine for men’s health
Theme: Moving More
Time: Monday 10 June, 12.00pm AEST - 1.00pm AEST
Presenter: Duncan Armstrong OAM, Stakeholder Manager, Exercise & Sports Science Australia
On average, men are more likely than women to stay healthy by being active. But most men aren’t active enough to stay healthy.
Being unfit is bad for our health. Research shows that 10 Australian men a day die as a result of being physically inactive.
A lack of exercise kills more men each year than prostate cancer or suicide or road traffic accidents.
In his talk we share the information you need to know about exercise and men’s health. This includes:
- Why being inactive is bad for our health
- How staying fit and strong fights off disease
- What active men need to do to stay healthy.
