Balancing Life Results 2024
The 2024 Balancing Life survey results have shown a decrease in physical activity levels for both our staff and student population. Our university community have reported lack of time as their biggest barrier to exercise, indicating a priority for our service is to understand how we can help develop a community culture where individuals feel permitted to build in time during the work/study day to be physically active.
