About this episode

In this episode we explore the physical exercise guidelines, barriers, benefits and how we are performing as health professionals with exercise prescription. Dr Jane Thornton discusses the latest research in relation to the current exercise prescription principles, specifically through the WHO guidelines. 

Dr. Thornton is a Clinician Scientist specialising in long-term athlete health, female athlete health, and physical activity in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine, with cross appointments in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics and Department of Kinesiology at Western University in London, Canada. She is a Member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM) and Editor of the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM).

Dr. Thornton represented Canada for over a decade in the sport of elite rowing, becoming both a World Champion (2006) and Olympian (2008), and has been recognised nationally for her contribution to society by sport/volunteer initiatives.
