The sixth annual meeting of the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity ended on June 23 with a closing session. Professor Tom Baranowski, the founder and first president of ISBNPA (on the right on the photo; the others are also former presidents of ISBNPA: Gaston Godin and Ron Kleinman), concluded that the conference was a succes with a record-high number of participants and presentations, with high-quality presentations addressing many key issues in behavioral nutrition and physical activity research. Tom Baranowski also stated that upcoming conferences should try to include more presentations on intervention studies, and that the society should continue to try to attract more researchers from countries and regions other that Western Europe, North America and Australia.
After the conference I partcipated in some intensive physical activity myself: a great 13-day bike tour through the westen part of Norway with my partner, Astrid (see how summer-like the higher mountains in Norway are in June). We cycled from Gol to Alesund and back, visiting the Sogne fjell and fjord and many other highlights.
