Primarily, Senior Lecturer Dr Scott Pedersen directs the UTAS Active Work Laboratory, a cross disciplinary team of researchers interested in creating healthy work conditions for contemporary office workers. Scott is also a trained inclusive physical education specialist, helping to educate Tasmanian teachers on the most current and effective strategies for including children of all abilities into physical education classes

Biography

In 2009, Scott joined the University of Tasmania from New Mexico State University (USA), where he was an assistant professor and creator of their first adapted physical education post-graduate course. Scott now shares his academic knowledge and experience on the topics of inclusive physical activity (ESP307), motor learning (ESP233) and motor development (EDU104) with UTAS undergraduate students across several discipline cohorts. Scott leads local and international research projects investigating e-health solutions to decrease sedentary behaviour in the workplace; and he continues to contribute to the post-graduate research experience at the UTAS.

Teaching

Teaching responsibility

Note: all of these units are offered as a Student Elective, so a student from any Course can enrol in them.

Research Invitations

Representing the UTAS Active Work Lab Dr Pedersen has been invited to present our findings to several countries. Most recent examples include:

Stirling University Health and Behaviour Research Programme Mini-Conference. June 2019: Stirling, Scotland
The Sixth Peking University Forum of Sport Culture and Humanities: Exercise as Medicine and Healthy China. May 2017: Beijing, China

Expertise

Scott uses empirical research methods to measure the physical and mental health effects of interrupting sedentary postures during the workday. This work has helped to create successful and sustainable e-health solutions for Tasmanian government workers, and has fostered international interest in utilising our intellectual property in research studies conducted across the globe.

Snug Health PhD Stipend for UTAS Active Work Lab (2023 - 2025)$108,778

Description: Tasmanian technology company Snug Health has partnered with the UTAS Active Work Laboratory to evaluate their AI chatbot-based lifestyle modification program designed to improve the health outcomes and wellbeing of Australians. This preventative eHealth solution connects users' medical history, family health, monitoring devices, and fitness wearables in one simple smartphone app to help users make informed choices about their health and wellbeing. In this PhD project we will design a random control trial using private insurance cohorts to determine the most effective prompting strategies for helping users become more active, thereby preventing the early onset of disease and disability.

Exertime Licensable Technology - Royalty Bearing Licence (2019)$3,000

Description: ExertimeTM is an e-health initiative designed to reduce the amount of time desk-based employees spend seated at work. Unlike other workplace health programs, ExertimeTM treats sitting as a habit and provides individualised prompts to help the user engage in short movement breaks during the day. ExertimeTM is a fully customizable software application that encourages healthy behavioural change in desk-based employees. A Licence Agreement now exists between the University of Tasmania and Krause Industries Pty Ltd regarding the commercial use of the Exertime technology to establish and commercially exploit a software application for promoting healthy lifestyle and exercise.

Lets Play - A Developmental Motor Skill Acquisition Workshop (2019)$1,394

Description: Session Synopsis: Designing developmentally-appropriate games for children of all abilities within an inclusive physical activity environment is not always an easy task. Before you know it, your students are quickly approaching graduation and preparing for life in the real world. Devising developmentally-appropriate games that can foster community-based physical activity participation should be the cornerstone of any physical education curriculum. During this workshop, attendees will participate in a variety of catching and throwing games outlining the developmental nature of motor skill acquisition. Participants will learn how to facilitate motor skill development in any child or adult who is keen to play. Moreover, the eye-hand coordination skills taught during this workshop will challenge even the most adept athletes. These cooperative and fun activities also promote attentional focus and body coordination, which may transfer to other areas of life. Participants will perform individual, partner and group games that vary in complexity and can be played by anyone, anywhere. The exercises are extremely adaptable and just plain fun. So come check it out!

Objective measurements of workplace sedentary behaviour (2018)$10,260

Description: Prior work on Exertime, a workplace e-health solution, demonstrates its ability to improve measures of health via the delivery of prompted movement breaks during working hours (e.g., Mainsbridge et al. 2015). It is unknown what causes these health improvements. Putatively, the Exertime software intervention changes the amount and pattern of sedentary behaviour and physical activity in the workplace; this causes improvements in markers of health. However, there is no evidence to support this hypothesis as no quantitative measure of behaviour has been collected in conjunction with the Exertime intervention. This quantitative sensor based data is crucial to establish the connection between behaviour change and health improvements. Crucially, for the first time, it will provide evidence of the magnitude of the changes in sedentary behaviour needed to improve health. Thus, providing an empirical basis for guidelines on reducing sedentary behaviour to improve health. To validate this new technology, physical activity will be measured for a period of seven days at each time point through the use of ActivPal accelerometers. These will be fitted and worn day and night for the entire seven day period. These trackers are reliable and valid and are currently considered the gold standard for physical activity monitoring. Our plan is to first conduct a small validity and feasibility study utilising current Exertime users at UTAS, for which we already have ethics approval.
