Prof. Adrian Bauman delivers lecture on commercial determinants of physical activity at UL
On Thursday, 3rd of September Professor Adrian Bauman, a member of IMPAQT’s Scientific Advisory Board, delivered his inaugural lecture at the University of Limerick. The lecture was titled “Commercial determinants and influences on physical activity and sport: are they the same as other commercial determinants of health?”. The lecture considered whether the commercial determinants of physical activity differ from, or align with, other commercial determinants of health. It is increasingly recognised that commercial actors influence how people participate in physical activity, but their role has received less attention than in other areas of public health such as food, alcohol and tobacco.
Professor Bauman is an internationally recognised public health researcher with over 40 years' experience in prevention, health promotion and physical activity research. He has worked extensively with policymakers and researchers worldwide. The lecture took place in the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences (PESS) at UL.
