About this Event
The Lincoln University Sport and Recreation Forum
Join us to celebrate the sport and recreation sector. You will hear from experts in the field, Lincoln academics, and students about their research.
This is a free event, open to Lincoln students and staff, sport and recreation sector professionals, and anyone interested in the area.
This years keynote speakers will be James Jowsey and Kent Somerfield from Christchurch City Council and Ged Robinson from Betterman. James and Kent will focus on developments with two of the major projects in the region, Parakiore and Te Kaha, while Ged will discuss Betterman's exciting work improving men's wellbeing and mental health.
This will be followed by senior lecturer Mike Annear, who will discuss his research in promoting physically active lifestyles, particularly in ageing populations.
We will then hear about student research at LU - PhD student Siyang Zheng will discuss his research on movement characteristics in basketball and undergraduate Ella Scarlet will explain her research on outdoor fitness equipment.
Finally a short panel discussion will allow the speakers to answer questions and consider how they relate to their particular context.
Afterwards, there is an opportunity for sector professionals, LU staff and students to network over afternoon tea.
Please RSVP using Eventbrite by October 5th.
