Tanita Sprintman Gold Coast Half Ironman® Triathlon Event - October 5th 2008

Tanita's Sprintman Triathlon was run on the same day and on the same course of the Half Ironman Triathlon.  Athletes completed one lap each of the swim, cycle and run as individuals or in a team.  For more information go to http://www.usmevents.com.au/gchim/index.html 

  

 

Lifestyle Medicine Workshops

Doctor Garry Egger (MPH, PhD) specialises in weight control and obesity management and is an advisor in weight control to several governments and the World Health Organisation.

 

Doctor Egger was the developer of the original GutBuster’s program for men. He has published over 100 peer reviewed articles and 29 books, and also developed Australia’s guidelines for both physical activity and weight control for the Australian Government

 

 

Tanita has sponsored Doctor Egger to hold Health and Well-being seminars throughout Australia. These seminars are attended by health professionals including doctors and nurses.

Andrew Pitkin is currently understudying his PHD in Lifestyle Medicine’s influence on chronic disease. He holds a Bachelor degree in Social Science and Master of Sport Science. Andrew has had 10 years experience in the public health industry and various experience in workplace
health promotion.

He had this to say of Tanita's Lifestyle workshops:

" Lifestyle Medicine workshops provide GPs and Practice Nurses with education, guidance and strategies based on up to date research on dealing with lifestyle related illnesses and diseases such as Obesity, Type II Diabetes and Mental Health Disorders, just to name a few. The Tanita professional Body Fat Monitor plays a crucial role in these workshops. Due to the accuracy, reliability and validity of these scales we are able to demonstrate to GP’s and Practice Nurses how to accurately differentiate between their patient’s fat mass and lean body mass. The Tanita Professional Body Fat Monitor then allows the professional to set realistic goals based on their patient’s “ideal body weight”, a formula developed from my research in obesity that ensures the goals are targeted towards fat loss instead of losing lean body mass, in other words, muscle".
