Physical Education (PE) classes can take a lesson from video games, according to a few innovative Australian teachers bringing them together to reinvent the way that PE connects to the rest of the curriculum, the wider world, and the interests and motivations of students.
New research by Flinders University’s Associate Professor Shane Pill and colleagues from Charles Sturt, University of Southern Queensland and the University of Canberra examines the intersection between teaching PE, and video games.
By looking to video games for principles that cross over to lesson plans, the study has found that teachers are aligned with ideas that education researchers and theorists have been mining for years. ....

Fishing ocean for new vegan ideas
Putting innovative Australian marine bioproducts into tasty vegan food ideas is the goal of a new project at the Centre for Marine Bioproducts Development, Flinders University.
The project is part of a growing global trend to fathom the sea world for vegan foods. Australia’s vast shoreline and pristine waters hold a myriad of untapped, renewable bioresources and opportunities to enter the international marine bioproducts market estimated to be worth more than $175 billion a year.
“In South Australia, we’ve worked with the Australian Kelp Products for over a decade, developing new products and processes to put beach-cast seaweeds into value-added commodities,” says CMBD director Professor Wei Zhang, director, who is also Leader and Research Director of the Marine Bioproducts CRC (MB-CRC) Bid. ....

Better sleep helps heart patient activity

A new study has found that treating obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP therapy increases self-reported physical activity in adults with a history of heart disease.
During a mean follow-up period of 3.7 years, the group treated with CPAP therapy reported approximately 20% higher levels of moderate physical activity compared with the control group. The study also found the CPAP group was more likely to report activity levels consistent with expert recommendations.
“We were pleased to find that our CPAP users reported that they were better able to maintain their levels of activity over the four years of the study, and that they reported fewer limitations in moderate and vigorous activities including those that are important for independent ageing, like walking up the stairs,” says study co-author Kelly Loffler, who has a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology and is a research fellow ....
