- Marita will present a poster titled: “Bodybuilding to the max: Is our drive for muscularity based upon body image dissatisfaction or distortion?”
- Alanah will present the preliminary findings of a project she has led in an attempt to develop exercise guidelines for use with those with an active eating disorder; “SEES Guidelines – Safe Exercise At Every Stage”.
