6 Prof Tim Olds

7 How do Australian children spend their days? How do their lifestyles differ depending on gender, age, and socioeconomic status? What is the role of physical activity in Australian children s lives? Sedentary time is it all bad? How much are kids getting? How important is kids sleep? How do these lifestyle factors impact overweight and obesity? What about Australian kids fitness?
