Physical activity and worker health: what role do working conditions play? |
|
Speaker - Avi Biswas, Associate Scientist, Institute for Work & Health, Assistant Professor (status), University of Toronto
Description - Even with the best of intentions, many workers do not exercise as much as they should. The spillover of strenuous working lives on exercise participation is a reality for many people. Furthermore, increasing evidence suggests that physically strenuous jobs can also be harmful. This presentation will explore research on the relationship between working conditions and exercise and recommend strategies to support more Canadian workers getting the health benefits of exercise. |
