Stand Up & Go Study

Would you like to become more physically active, and reduce your sitting time to support your brain health?

The National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) is looking for volunteers to join the Stand Up & Go study, a sitting time reduction and physical activity program which is about improving physical and brain health through exercise.

Researchers are looking for people who are:

• Aged between 50 and 85
• Have type 2 diabetes
• Do less than 1 hour of exercise per week

Participants may have the opportunity to engage in a 12 week home-based physical activity program (walking), and will partake in education workshops, and have two assessments (memory, fitness, brain imaging and blood tests) during the study.

If you or someone you know may be interested in participating or would like further information, please contact: Jenny Southam on 03 8387 2377 or by email [email protected]

This study has been approved by the Melbourne Health Research Ethics Committee (HREC 2013.316).
