Exercise and Physical Activity

NZSSD Exercise and Physical Activity SIG
In March 2026, the Exercise and Physical Activity (EPA) SIG was established. Its members comprise those working in diabetes with a common interest in exercise and physical activity as it applies to diabetes management.

Our purpose is to:

  • Foster multi-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing
  • Develop and disseminate practical, evidence-based resources for healthcare professionals, patients and communities
  • Advocate for exercise and physical activity as a core component of diabetes management
We welcome any new members to the group.

Please email the SIG Lead:  Kris Tynan at kris@eamnz.com if you would like to attend meetings or are interested in joining the group.

Moving Medicine is a UK based website designed with excellent information to help healthcare professionals integrate physical activity conversations into routine care. Examples are given of 5 minute, 10 minute and longer conversations. Well worth a dive into. There is also a specific patients focused page.
