Darryl Edwards joins Joe Wicks and Bupa for Health or Hype: Movement, exploring physical activity, movement snacks, play, mood and why enjoyment can help people keep moving.
Evolutionary biology helps explain why human bodies developed the capacity for varied physical activity across different environments. In the Primal Play Method®, it explains why movement matters, the range of movement humans can perform, and how modern environments can reduce everyday physical activity.
Cognitive neuroscience explains how movement interacts with attention, perception, decision-making, executive function and motor learning. In the Primal Play Method®, it helps shape how movement challenges the brain and body together, supports learning, and creates experiences people can adapt to and repeat.
Play psychology explores how enjoyment, choice, challenge, competence and connection can shape physical activity experiences. Discover how these principles support adherence within the Primal Play Method®.
Exercise physiology explains how the body responds and adapts to physical activity. In the Primal Play Method®, it helps shape what movement is used, how much stimulus is needed, and how repeated activity can support strength, fitness, balance, metabolic health and physical function.
