ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ professor Ian Janssen (Kinesiology and Health Studies) delivered his message on children and active play on Monday, April 13 at the second annual Queen’s University . About 40 people gathered in the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Medicine Building to hear Dr. Janssen speak about his research into keeping our children healthy. His talk focused on why physical activity and outdoor active play are vital for a child's health and the barriers to getting children outside. He commented on fears that outdoor play is dangerous and noted a lack of recognition that unstructured activities are important for growth and development.

The annual lecture series highlights Queen’s researchers receiving funding from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
