WELCOME

WELCOME TO ELEVATE Welcome to Elevate 2018. Now in its third year Elevate is UK’s largest cross-sector event dedicated to bringing together the physical activity sector with professionals working in performance and health. The World Health Organisation places physical inactivity among the 10 leading causes of death globally as it responsible for 5 million deaths worldwide. This weighs heavily on our own health service, costing the NHS as much as £1.2 billion each year.

Max Quittenton

With the health of the nation remaining one of the UK’s major political talking points, the industry continues to play a central role in helping to tackle the physical activity challenge. Gym membership rates have once again risen year on year, increasing by 500,000, which takes the total figure to 9.7 million gym members in the UK across 6,728 facilities. With 1 in 7 people now being a gym member, the industry in the UK alone is now worth close to £5 billion. Further cross sector collaboration remains important. With gym operators, sport scientists and physiotherapists all sharing a fundamental interest in physical activity we are proud to announce the acquisition of Elite Sport Expo and COPA. Between the three events there are over 300 exhibitors and 350 speakers. This event guide, together with the app, will help you identify and navigate your way around Elevate 2018. The 2018 COPA and Elite Sport Expo event guides will be at their respective entrances. During the next two days of Elevate nearly 200 brands are exhibiting the latest products designed to help you get more people, more active. This is your best opportunity of the year to discover new equipment, innovative start-up technology and learn more leading industry experts, sport scientists and healthcare professionals. We would like to thank all supporters, exhibitors, speakers, judges and attendees. I wish you all a thought-provoking, enjoyable and productive two days.

WELCOME

PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND Public Health England (PHE) would like to add their welcome to delegates of the Elevate Conference and the increased commitment by Elevate to expand the programme of events focused on evidence, policy and practice. People in the UK are around 20% less active now than in the 1960s. If current trends continue, we will be 35% less active by 2030. We are the first generation to need to make a conscious decision to build physical activity into our daily lives. Societal changes have designed physical activity out of our lives. Fewer of us have manual jobs and technology dominates at home and at work, the two places where we spend most of our time. Inactivity is a complex problem requiring action across the whole system to change the environments in which we live, as well as the cultural norms relating to physical activity. We continue to work with key partners on the implementation of our 2014framework – Everybody Active Every Day and integrating Physical Activity into other key government strategies, policies and plans. We have also partnered with the Centre for Better Ageing to undertake a rapid evidence review of the effectiveness and importance of muscle and bone strengthening and balance activities for health and wellbeing. We are hopeful that this important piece of work suggesting practical action around muscleand bone strengthening and balance activities for the public, practice staff, policy makers will also feed into the review of the Chief Medical Officers’ guidelines on physical activity. Increasing physical activity has the potential to improve the physical and mental health, and wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and the nation as a whole. PHE wants to see more people being physically active and achieving this remains a priority for the organisation. This conference reinforces the need for us all to work together to contribute to the change needed for a more active society. I hope you enjoy the conference.

ukactive What’s different about Elevate this year? At ukactive we’ve been very clear what 2018 means to us – it’s the time for action and our team at this week’s event will share that message loud and clear. We’ve been working up to some landmark moments, in line with developments across the sector. So, we’re pumped to be joining Elevate for two days that promise to crystallise thought and action as our movement grows stronger. As part of our ongoing backing for Elevate, this year ukactive is proud to be Lead Supporter of the seminar stream ‘Strategies for an active nation’. The seminars will offer a frank and fascinating exploration of the issues outlined in Sport England’s 2016-2021 strategy, ‘Towards an Active Nation’.

Steven Ward

Over the next few days I’ll be joined by our Public Affairs Director, Huw Edwards, and our Local Government Engagement Lead, Steve Scales, as we deliver an ambitious conference agenda that challenges the sector to fulfil its full potential. As part of the new Thought Leaders Conference, I’m really looking forward to chairing a discussion on how we can unleash the power of the sporting economy – alongside Andrew Honeyman, Head of Sport at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport; Tara Dillion, CEO of CIMSPA; Robert Cook, Managing Director at Virgin Active UK; and Kate Bosomworth, Sport England board member. I’ll also be joining a panel chaired by Public Health England’s Physical Activity Champion, Dr Zoe Williams, on the role of exercise prescription in tackling the UK’s inactivity crisis. We’ll explore how GPs and the fitness sector can work together to boost activity among patients, dissecting the cross-sector model used by programmes such as ukactive’s Let’s Get Moving. Be sure to catch Huw Edwards, the Physical Activity Sector’s Disability Champion, as he brings together some of the finest minds in the area for a session on inclusivity and driving participation among disabled people. And our very own Steve Scales will host an unmissable session on company cost-saving measures. It’s clear to me that if we’re going to get more people, more active, more often, and improve the health of our nation, we need the broadest possible coalition – so we’re proud to bring so many great partners to Elevate.

WELCOME

CIMSPA CIMSPA are honoured to once again be lead supporters of Elevate – although just in its third year Elevate is already a vital part of our sector’s annual calendar and we are excited about the myriad opportunities it presents to learn, build partnerships and connect with colleagues. As Elevate grows, so has CIMSPA – our momentum is increasing with fantastic levels of employer and education support. Over 250 partners have joined with us to create a career map for the sector – building this on agreed professional standards for every job role in sport and physical activity. This Spring will see our coaching and management professional standards released, with standards-endorsed qualifications already available for swim teaching, personal training and gym instruction. Coming this Summer will be an all-new digital platform that will both showcase our individual members’ personal and professional excellence, and provide the definitive entry point to the quality-assured qualifications and training ecosystem we are creating. It’s always important though to step back and remember “why” we are doing all of this work. Government and allied professions are looking to sport and physical activity to provide a capable, professional and skilled workforce to help build an active nation – improving career pathways for sector professionals is an important step towards contributing to this goal.. CIMSPA’s work is carving out a clear identity for our sector as a recognised profession with great careers and possibilities for those who work within it, all with the full backing of government and agencies such as Sport England. Elevate plays a key role in our shared sector success by broadcasting the positive value of our work to wider audiences – I would encourage every show visitor to make the most of a standout conference and seminar programme in between exhibition visits and networking. We’re supporting the “business of physical activity” stream this year – come along for valuable takeaways on a wide range of topics from effective social media through revenue maximisation to attracting millennials to your offer. Plus, we’re excited to be a part of the superb inaugural Elevate conference – CIMSPA is on the panel of “Unleashing the potential of the sporting economy” on the first day, so I’m looking forward to meeting many of you there. CIMSPA staff will be on hand throughout the exhibition to update you on our work and explain how employers and education bodies can get directly involved in our professional standards work. And, if you are already a member, don’t forget to get your badge scanned at our stand to collect the CIMSPA CPD points you will earn by participating in this hugely valuable event.

LONDON SPORT London Sport are once again delighted to be a Lead Partner at Elevate, for the third year running. Delighted because it offers an opportunity to support what is fast becoming one of the highlights in the fitness and physical activity sector’s calendar, and delighted because it shows that London continues to be at the heart of sport in the UK. The growing focus on technology at this year’s Elevate demonstrates the desire for

Tove Okunniwa

physical activity, sport and fitness to keep pace with consumer expectations. Late last year, London Sport opened Sport Tech Hub – the capital’s first sport tech incubator focused on start-ups that support people to be more active – and a strategic plan aimed at making London the heart of the Sport Tech world. Over the next two days, we will be bringing some of this exciting innovation here to Elevate. Over in the seminar programmes, there are – once again – a wealth of incredible, inspirational speakers for you to hear, learn from and feel inspired by. From London Sport, on Wednesday, Tim Copley, our Director of Insight, will discuss the power of public data to understand the behaviours and attitudes of people, and how we can change the mindsets of less active people. Then, on Thursday, you can hear about our city-wide approach to making London the most physically active city in the world, with representatives from the Open Data Institute, UK Coaching and UK Deaf Sport explaining how their organisations’ work will contribute to a range of goals and objectives for sport in London. Those of us that work in physical activity, fitness and sport understand how powerful a mechanism it can be for helping people to change and improve their lives. In coming together in environments like Elevate, we can better understand how to work together and support one another to create a stronger, sustainable and vital physical activity and sport sector now, and for years to come. My team and I look forward to meeting you over the next two days.

THOUGHT-LEADERS CONFERENCE Sponsored by

DAY 1 - 9 MAY 2018 10.30–10.40 r

Opening Keynote Address: Our Sporting Future, today

Tracey Crouch – Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Sport and Civil Society, DCMS

When it was unveiled in 2015, the government’s Sporting Future strategy set out a new vision to redefine what success looks like in sport. This new vision focused on five key outcomes: physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, individual development, social and community development, and economic development. In this important keynote speech, Tracey Crouch MP – Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Sport and Civil Society – will explore progress made since the strategy was first released in December 2015, and examine how the physical activity and health sectors can continue to work together to achieve an active nation.

10.55-11.25

Physical activity for prevention - a global challenge

Dr Fiona Bull - programme manager surveillance and population-based prevention, department of noncommunicable disease prevention, World Health Organisation r

Globally, physical inactivity is estimated to cost INT$54 billion in direct health care. Regular physical activity is well-established for the prevention and treatment of the leading noncommunicable diseases, and its contribution to the prevention of other important risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, and is associated with improved mental health, delay in the onset of dementia and improved quality of life and well-being are well established.

11.40–12.20

Does exercise have any impact on obesity?

r Tracey Crouch MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Sport and Civil Society, DCMS - Department for Culture Media and Sport. Appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Sport, Tourism and Heritage on 12 May 2015. Tracey is a keen sports enthusiast and an FA-qualified football coach.

Dr Steven Mann

There’s been huge debate over the years: does physical activity have any real impact on obesity, or is it all about nutrition… or indeed genetics and environmental conditions? In this session, we explore the role of physical activity among the UK’s growing obese population: what are the health benefits it confers – and, crucially, can it help you lose weight?

Keynote: The truth about getting fit

Dr Michael Mosley – TV journalist, presenter and producer

Dr Michael Mosley knows he should do more regular exercise. The problem is, he has neither the time nor the inclination. It’s a scenario with which many of us – possibly even the majority of us – will identify. And for that reason alone this is an unmissable session, because Dr Mosley has good news to share from his recent investigations into what it really takes to get fit. Is there a better option than 10,000 steps a day? What’s the best activity if we want to benefit our brain as well as our body? What can we do to help ourselves stick to our fitness plans? In this keynote talk, Dr Mosley will answer these questions, and many more, unveiling what new science is showing us – and in particular, the ways in which we can keep fit and healthy without it taking up too much time.

13.50–14.40

r Michael Mosley is a BBC science presenter, writer and executive producer. He is the writer and presenter of BBC2’s acclaimed The Story of Science, and is also the face of science and medicine on The One Show.

Exercise referral is dead. Long live social prescribing.

Exercise referral programmes have been around for many decades; the first such programmes were set up in the 1980s, with estimates suggesting there are now as many as 1,300 schemes operating across the UK. Yet these programmes – in which primary healthcare professionals refer sedentary individuals with a variety of medical conditions into short-term, supervised programmes of physical activity – enjoy limited success, both in terms of patient adherence to the scheme and GPs’ willingness to prescribe exercise. So is this approach ever going to work, or do we have to broaden our horizons – not viewing physical activity as a standalone solution, but rather as one of a range of options from which to choose based on the individual’s health needs? This is the argument of the ‘social prescribers’. This session will explore why exercise referral doesn’t work, why social prescribing offers a viable alternative, how GPs can integrate this within their model of clinical care, and what the implications are for the physical activity sector and its relationship with primary healthcare professionals.

THOUGHT-LEADERS CONFERENCE – DAY ONE 15.00–15.40

Unleashing the potential of the sporting economy

Sport has long been recognised for the cultural and social benefits it brings to the country, but it’s increasingly apparent that a strong and vibrant sports economy also makes a vital contribution to our overall economy. Indeed, sport and physical activity is already worth billions to the UK, with around a million people employed in the sector and a significant contribution made to the UK in terms of tax and development, both at a national and a local level. A strong sports economy benefits both sport and society more widely – yet the sport and physical activity sector has not traditionally been supported in the same way as other parts of the economy. What more can be done to ensure prosperity, opportunity and employment in the sports and activity sector are enjoyed across the whole country? As part of the government’s Sport Strategy, the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) established a Sports Business Council to provide insight into these very issues, tasked with developing a new business strategy to help support growth, improve access to finance and develop skills. This session brings together sector leaders and Business Council members to explore the work of the Business Council, the impact of Brexit and the implications of the government’s Industrial Strategy, discussing what measures, policies and approaches are required to unleash the economic potential and continued growth and prosperity of the physical activity sector. Chair: Steven Ward – CEO, ukactive

r In his time with ukactive Steven helped maintain its deep connection to the major health and fitness operators, while shaping the body’s rebrand from the FIA to ukactive. He has strengthened ukactive’s ties to key partners such as the Department of Health and Sport England, and driven ukactive’s partnerships with major brands.

Is open data the key to unlocking participation?

Sport England’s strategy makes it clear that we must “keep pace with the digital expectations of customers, making it as easy to book a sports court as a hotel room”.

Jeni Tennison

To achieve this ambition, we need an open approach to data: one that allows people to easily find information on physical activity opportunities across a wide range of online platforms – what’s happening, when and where – as well as offering them the chance to book those activities. This is crucial in the drive to help more people be more active. But as things stand, the physical activity sector remains some way behind other sectors. We’re yet to provide easy, across-the-board access to the real-time activity data that would help consumers immediately find ways to be active and healthy. So, how can the sector be brought up-to-speed, realising the full potential of an open data approach? What does open data actually mean and require, and what can be learnt from the successes of other sectors – from the consumer-centric models seen in sectors like travel?

Jonathan Raper

Jade Cation

What are the benefits and challenges for those looking to attract new audiences to their activities and facilities, and for those building online communities, behavioural change tools or the next big app?

Keynote: How a National Activity Therapy Service could resolve the social care crisis

Sir Muir Gray CBE – public health expert and director, Better Value Healthcare

The epidemics of the 21st century are environmental as well as behavioural in origin: the car, the desk job and the screen have created an unfit, inactive population – and this in turn has led to a greater risk of disability, frailty and dependency as we age. Exercise is the miracle cure, with good evidence that the trajectory of decline can be changed at any age: taking part in any amount of physical activity, at any stage in life, can have a powerful, positive impact on an individual’s health. However, among older people in particular, it’s absolutely key to maintaining a healthy, independent life for longer, and is crucial in preventing the onset of many lifestyle- and age-related long-term health conditions – disability, dementia and dependency among them. The crisis in social care needs to look towards preventability. The evidence is there. But how can activity therapy be delivered at scale, and what impact will it have? How can GPs and healthcare professionals encourage people to be more active? Should activity be prescribed instead of drug therapy? In this keynote session, eminent public health expert Sir Muir Gray will outline his intentions for a National Activity Therapy Service.

r Muir Gray entered the public health service by joining the City of Oxford Health Department in 1972. The first phase of his professional career focused on disease prevention, followed by the development of the NHS screening programmes as well as services aimed at bringing knowledge to patients and professionals, including the NHS Choices. He has also been instrumental in setting up the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine and the Cochrane Collaboration in Oxford. During this period, he was appointed as the Chief Knowledge Officer of the NHS in England. In 2006 he joined the Department’s Commissioning Directorate and published the first Annual Population Value Review in 2006. In 2010 he set up the NHS Rightcare programme with Phil de Silva and remains an adviser to the programme and to Public Health England on population healthcare. His hobby is ageing and how to cope with it and he has published a book for people aged seventy called Sod 70! one for the younger decade called Sod60! And a book on activity Sod Sitting, Get Moving.

CONFERENCE GUIDE

THOUGHT-LEADERS CONFERENCE – DAY TWO 10.25 –11.10 Our population is ageing. Let’s make sure it ages well. In the UK’s ageing population, one-third of working adults are already aged 50 and over; by 2030, 27 per cent of the population will be over the age of 65. It’s critical – both to society and to the individuals – that we ensure they remain functional and mobile as they age, that they’re able to stay in work longer, that they stay connected to wider society, and that their risk of long-term health conditions is kept as low as possible.

Behaviour change: Making a difference to entire communities

Behaviour change is often spoken about as a one-to-one or small group strategy, helping individuals better understand their own needs and motivations so they can move towards a deep-rooted, sustainable change in their habits. It’s about making them an active participant in their own journey towards change, helping them to help themselves over the long term. But what if we could use these strategies to make a difference to entire communities? In this session, we explore the potential of behaviour change programmes to impact public health on a mass scale.

How sport and activity could save the UK

Chris Grant – CEO, Sported

As CEO of Sported, board member of Sport England and former deputy chair of International Inspiration – the groundbreaking London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic International Development Programme – Chris Grant is very familiar with the transformational power of sport. But he also refuses to view things through rose-tinted glasses. In this frank session, Grant looks below the shiny pinnacle of Britain’s recent Olympic and Paralympic achievements to explore the less impressive situation among the population as a whole: obesity, low participation rates, and what he calls a ‘social apartheid’ that prevents many groups in society from enjoying sports and activities. But ever the optimist, Grant sees sport and activity as the single most important driver of progress for the nation over the coming two decades. He will use this session to galvanise the sport, fitness and physical activity sector into combined action, offering inspiration and examples that show how organisations across the sector can contribute to – and benefit from – a transformation in both the sector and the country as a whole.

r After an early career in Parliament and Higher Education, Chris spent 20 years building a successful consulting practice in the development of organisations and their leadership. His work covered a broad spectrum of sectors and industries – from health to property to payment technologies to retail to the motor industry – but his interest was always the human dimension.

Technology: friend, not foe

Things move fast in the world of technology, and customer expectations are being swept along in this sea of change: evolution and revolution in the digital sphere are transforming the way consumers experience fitness, redefining habits and influencing behaviours across the board. This can be daunting to operators; some may even see technology as a threat to their business. But this needn’t be the case. In this enlightening session, our panel of experts will outline the myriad ways in which, far from undermining your offering, technology can add huge value to you and your customers – and indeed help future-proof your business. We will explore the potential of technology to bring a new dimension to your business and to the customer experience. We will discuss how online and apps can complement the inclub offering to make physical activity more fun, engaging and accessible; how technology can be harnessed to actually help members get better results; how it can make services better, faster and easier; and how technology can in fact help gyms stay relevant in a 24/7 world.

Are we selling physical activity all wrong?

The physical activity sector is constantly innovating, yet in spite of all its efforts to get ‘more people, more active, more often’, participation rates remain relatively static. So what is it doing wrong, and where do the opportunities lie to increase participation, not in small increments but in quantum leaps? In this seminar, we will probe the status quo and ask what we might do differently. Are we setting the right sort of goals and expectations among the public? Are we focusing on the benefits and outcomes that will resonate with and retain the mass market over the long term? And are we even talking about physical activity in the right way to hook people in the first place?

Understanding the ‘hard to reach’: the power of public data

Tim Copley – director of insight and performance, London Sport

Emma Butterworth - insight officer, London Sport

If we want to increase physical activity levels, one thing is absolutely clear: we have to adopt a more customer-centric approach. It is only by gaining a thorough understanding of the consumer that we can create relevant strategies to bring each individual into an active lifestyle. This session will explore how London Sport is using data and insight to identify and build an understanding of Londoners’ physical activity behaviour and needs, particularly within the most inactive populations and communities. We will discuss the use of publicly available data to drive this understanding, and present a segmentation analysis of less active Londoners based on their current behaviours, mindsets and motivations. The goal: to provide insights that will help activity providers engage these people in their programmes.

Improving inclusivity: driving participation among disabled people

How often do you see disabled people using gyms and other physical activity services? Sadly, while there are pockets of best practice around the UK, disabled people remain almost twice as likely (43 per cent more likely) to be inactive as non-disabled people. This is a situation that must be addressed as a matter of urgency; providing diverse and inclusive services is vital for social integration, as well as health and wellbeing, for the 11 million disabled people across the UK.

Physiotherapy: getting the inactive more active

Mention the word ‘physiotherapy’ and most people will picture treatment for someone who has injured themselves while being active – but in fact, physiotherapists also have high levels of interaction with the least active in society. This can range from routine clinical contact to ongoing work among those with long-term conditions, and who therefore require more intensive physiotherapy support. This session will consider the opportunities physiotherapists therefore have to encourage and support physical activity among the less active. Our expert panel will examine a range of in-practice case studies, providing an evidence base for the role of physiotherapists in increasing activity levels.

Working with GPs: prescribing physical activity

Research shows that one in four patients would exercise more if advised by a GP, but to date many GPs have steered away from this, either due to a lack of time in their consultations, or a lack of confidence resulting from insufficient knowledge of physical activity – or both.

Dr Dane Vishnubala

Huge steps have been taken to address this, however, with the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) making physical activity a clinical priority. The goal: to inspire patients to make improvements to their lifestyles, and specifically to get active, as a way of helping them live longer, healthier lives. This panel will explore how can GPs and the fitness industry best work together to increase levels of activity among patients.

Reaching the inactive: Sport England’s local delivery pilots

Every town, city and rural area across the country is unique, with special characteristics that have a direct influence on the opportunities to be physically active in that area. It’s important that we’re mindful of these unique traits when designing physical activity offerings – providing services that take into account the local conditions and demographics, and that draw on local knowledge – because in doing so, physical activity starts to become an easier, more attractive choice.

Healthy workplace, healthy economy

Ill health among the working age population costs the economy £100bn every year, while sickness absence costs employers £9bn a year. There is a huge role for physical activity to play in keeping the workforce healthy, fit, well – and productive. Indeed, as laid out in the government’s Sporting Future strategy, the benefits for employers and staff of a physically active workforce include greater levels of staff engagement and commitment to the organisation, lower rates of absence, and fewer retirements on health grounds. This panel discussion will review the role of physical activity in the workplace; explore how employers can create the sort of healthy workplaces that encourage staff to be physically active; and offer advice on how to target those who are currently inactive – the group in which benefits will be most pronounced.

We all want to age in good health. Here’s how we make it happen…

We all know activity levels aren’t where they should be across the UK – but among the over-55s, the picture is particularly worrying, with 36 per cent of this group categorised as inactive. This compares to 26 per cent of the population as a whole. Recognising that people are living longer, but not necessarily in the best health, Sport England recently announced an investment of £10m into 20 projects across the country, all designed to help tackle inactivity in older adults. This session will share the learnings from some of these pilot projects, exploring how they are engaging and motivating inactive people in this very diverse age group.

Making physical activity socially inclusive

The government has laid out a strategy for tackling inactivity, central to which is the need to engage the least active in society – but there are significant challenges here. Social inhibitors often contribute to a lack of participation, with the highest levels of inactivity linked to inequality. Inactivity isn’t just down to a lack of motivation – there are deeprooted social forces at work here.

Prior to this she had worked on communications and campaigns for a range of UK and international organisations dealing with health, social policy, and local services, including several years as Head of Communications at Lambeth Council.

Keeping the UK’s top killers in check: cancer

r Professor Robert Thomas – consultant oncologist, Bedford and Addenbrooke’s Cambridge University Hospitals and professor of exercise science, Coventry University

As a significant body of research shows, physical activity can reduce the risk of a variety of forms of cancer, including breast, colon and rectum, among others. Being active is thought to reduce cancer risk largely by improving energy metabolism and reducing circulating concentrations of oestrogen, insulin and insulin-like growth factors. Meanwhile, thanks to its role in helping people maintain a healthy weight, physical activity also indirectly reduces the risk of developing obesity-related cancers. This session will explore the opportunities for cancer risk reduction and prevention through physical activity.

Exercise and cancer care

Exercise and physical activity can help prevent certain forms of cancer, as outlined in our Keeping the UK’s top killers in check: cancer session (see above). But that isn’t all. There’s also strong evidence that carefully tailored activities are likely to have a positive impact on cancer patients – those who are already doing battle with the disease. It’s therefore very important that we build mechanisms into the cancer care pathway that support people in maintaining, or initiating, physical activity during and after treatment. This session will examine the latest evidence supporting the value of exercise among patients – those living with, and beyond, cancer. We will look at how activity helps them manage the symptoms of the disease, as well as the side-effects of treatment, and how it can even help prevent relapse.

Pre- and post-surgery: How exercise improves your odds under the knife

Patients with low cardiorespiratory health are five times more likely than their fitter counterparts to die during, or just after, a surgical procedure. Specifically, data published in the Annals of Surgery found that post-surgical mortality can be as high as 22 per cent in patients with low levels of fitness, whereas patients who were fitter had only a 4 per cent mortality rate. And there’s more. On average, an unfit person costs the NHS an extra £6,000 when they undergo an operation, due to longer recovery times in hospital.

Monitoring and motivation – can tracking your health improve adherence to lifestyle changes?

Dr Sam Rodgers - medical director, Medichecks Dr Daniel Grant

The trend for tracking everything from steps to sleep is everywhere and increasingly is taken further to include blood biomarkers. Blood testing to monitor lifestyle and fitness is a new and fast-growing market with growing numbers of people looking to take regular blood tests to gain extra insights into their health. This is not just about a set of results at a single point in time, or about diagnosing or monitoring a condition; this is about people taking control of their health and tracking how the changes they make in their lifestyles can impact their inner health.

r Sam has worked as a GP in and around central London for the past 12 years. He has combined busy out-ofhours practice in general hospitals with a regular position as a doctor at Brixton prison and now focuses for one day a week in a GP practice in Southwark.

For the last 2 years Medichecks has been capturing data from the questions we ask our customers in our health and lifestyle questionnaire. We know what type of exercise they take and with what frequency; we know what type of diet they eat from junk-food to paleo; we know what they drink and how often they drink it.

The perimenopause and menopause are well known for being a tough time for women. Levels of oestrogen and progesterone in the body fluctuate as the ovaries try to keep up with normal levels of hormone production, causing the symptoms of the menopause. But it isn’t only the unpleasant symptoms that need to be taken into consideration: the changes in hormone levels that take place during the perimenopause and menopause also lead to loss of muscle mass, as well as an increased risk of osteoporosis, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The good news is that being physically active can help maintain a healthy weight and offset many of these health risks, as well as helping keep menopausal symptoms under control. This session will explore the latest evidence highlighting the positive benefits of physical activity for menopausal women, as well as the latest recommendations.

Exercise and the natural environment – the perfect anti-stress combination

There are, as many will already be aware, numerous research papers out there highlighting the benefits of physical activity for stress reduction (if you’re interested in finding out more, our ‘Performance’ stream offers some great seminars for you this year). There’s also a growing evidence base surrounding the benefits of the natural environment for combating the effects of stress and anxiety – something that will be of little surprise to those of us who already enjoy moments outdoors to escape our desk and decompress. So what happens when you bring those two elements together: exercise and the natural environment? In terms of a recipe for stress reduction, is the whole even greater than the sum of its parts? This session will explore recent research into cortisol levels among those taking part in outdoor group-based physical activity, demonstrating the positive effects such activities have on stress levels.

Pregnancy: why and how to be active

Being active during pregnancy can lead to many benefits from improved fitness and lower gestational weight gain to a reduced risk of hypertension and gestational diabetes. Yet there remain so many myths about physical activty during pregnancy, with a surprising number of people still feeling the need to wag a disapproving finger at mothers-to-be who lace up their trainers and get active.

Mental health: using exercise to treat depression

Many of us exercise not to get fit, or lose weight, but simply to feel better on a day-to-day basis. Indeed, in a study by mental health charity MIND, 83 per cent of respondents said they exercised to help lift their mood or reduce stress, while seven out of 10 gym users with no mental health issues thought their mental wellbeing would suffer if they didn’t exercise. But as a growing body of research shows, the benefits of physical activity go far beyond this simple feelgood factor: it’s now known that exercise has a significant and measurable impact on preventing and treating depression, as well as other mental health issues.

Mental health: preventing cognitive decline through activity

“Exercise has a proven role in preventing cognitive decline – it can keep our brain’s cognitive abilities alive as we age, and research even suggests it can cut the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease in half. Indeed, exercise has been shown to push back cognitive decline by as much as 10–15 years.” These are the words of Harvard professor Dr John Ratey, author of the 2008 book SPARK, which provided a compelling overview of the wide-reaching impact of exercise on the brain. This session will explore the latest evidence around age-related decline in brain function, looking at how and where physical activity can help. Our panel of experts will offer recommendations on optimal types and duration of physical activity to reduce the risk of cognitive decline. The session will also explore ways to support an ageing population through the creation of dementia-friendly facilities and services.

Breathing: Lowering stress and enhancing performance

Breathing is often overlooked as a predictor of performance, yet breathing affects every system in our body – cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, lymph, immune, digestive, and of course respiratory. It is also the single best physiological measure we have into psychological state. The way we breathe can enhance athletic performance and quality of life. Breathing properly and efficiently can decrease stress, anxiety and muscle tension; sharpen the mind and minimise negative thoughts; as well as reduce fatigue. This thought-provoking session will demonstrate how to assess breathing and how to use it to optimise performance.

Maximising recovery strategies

Harri Čizmić – University of Bath Jonathan Robinson – lead applied exercise physiologist, University of Bath

Recovery is an essential part of an athlete’s routine and is understood to be key to optimal performance. However, the topic is broad and multi-faceted; getting the right message to athletes can be difficult. This session will outline the key areas on which athletes and their support team should work. It will draw on both research and practical, real-world examples to provide a template for maximised recovery – thus allowing athletes to optimise their training and performance.

Understanding motivation and will-power to maximise potential

Dr Ian Taylor, National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, Loughborough University

Motivation is an essential foundation in all areas of physical activity, from elite performance to casual exercise. Most people subscribe to a simple ‘more is better’ perspective, implying that the more motivated a person is, the more engaged or effective the performance will be. The aim of this talk is to persuade attendees to consider an alternative approach to motivation by explaining how different motivational processes impact behaviour. A deeper understanding of motivation in exercise and performance settings can lead to innovative, yet straightforward strategies that can enhance performance and engagement.

Fat and performance

Whether you’re a professional athlete or simply exercising to improve your health, sports nutrition is key to optimising the beneficial effects of physical activity; making informed decisions about nutrition and hydration can result in improved performance, recovery and injury prevention. There’s now a growing awareness of the many important roles dietary fats play in the body, beyond simply being a source of energy. These roles include maintaining hormonal and immune function; influencing body composition; regulating inflammation; and even protecting the brain from the sort of head injuries that can be sustained in sports such as football, rugby, cycling, basketball and skateboarding. Not only that, but dietary fats can even offer performance benefits. This session will offer an in-depth look at the value of dietary fats for human health and performance.

The science of meditation – how mental health boosts physical performance

Michael Miller – London Meditation Centre

The mind is not only responsible for our cognitive functions: perception, thinking, judgement and memory. What happens in the mind also has a significant effect on our body: ageing, immune function, sleep and energy levels are all impacted. The challenges of modern life can affect our state of mind, and health and performance can suffer as a result – but there are ways to combat this. Studies show that meditation has measurable health benefits, as well as reducing anxiety and stress, aiding learning and memory, and improving attention and focus. This session will explore the evidence behind these benefits and provide insight into different meditation techniques.

It relies on empowering staff to act and react in members’ best interests, to drive satisfaction levels. It relies on creating a great team that can motivate, inspire and support customers. And it relies on building a team that mirrors the values and culture of your business, enhancing and complementing your company mission. This session explores how we can get the most from our staff, including the importance of strong leadership; identifies critical skills and how to train them; and looks at how staff can be developed and retained through the implementation of proper career paths.

DAY TWO

Understanding the millennial mindset

Mark Walker – marketing director, Attest

A full one-quarter of the population are millennials: a market that, given its willingness to spend a large proportion of its disposable income on wellbeing products and services, is absolutely vital to the health and fitness industry. This session will explore trends among millennials – as well as generations Z, Y and X – uncovering what motivates them, and how their views and values differ from previous generations. We will provide an insight into how these groups behave, their habits, and how they interact in a consumer world.

15.00–16.00

Using data effectively

Gyms generate huge amounts of data every day – data that can, if properly mined and analysed, provide invaluable knowledge and insight into customer behaviours, and used to fine-tune business strategy and day-to-day operational decisions. Yet so often that data is left dormant and untapped: a wasted resource. This session will explore how data can be better managed, interpreted and used to enhance both the customer experience – via improved services and a deeper understanding of their needs – and the business’ bottom line.
