Selina Khoo
Selina Khoo is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Science, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. Her research is related to participation of sports and physical activity for various populations, including older adults, persons with disabilities, women, and cancer survivors. This includes determining prevalence of physical activity, motives for participation, and interventions to increase physical activity. She also examines various aspects of disability sport, including accessibility, barriers and facilitators to participation, and media coverage. Selina is currently the country contact for Malaysia on the Global Observatory for Physical Activity and Vice President of the Asian Society for Adapted Physical Education and Exercise.

Genevieve M McArthur
The goal of my research is to understand what causes reading and language difficulties in children, how these difficulties can be identified and treated effectively, and how they relate to emotional health. I am a passionate advocate for the rapid translation of evidence-based knowledge into practice.
Over the last 25 years, I have held academic positions at the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Oxford University, and Macquarie University. I am currently the Translational Director of the Macquarie University Centre of Reading, the Founding Director of the Macquarie University Reading Clinic, and Project Manager of MOTIf (Macquarie Online Test Interface; www.motif.org.au).

Dr. Victor Coswig has a bachelor's degree, a Master's degree and a PhD in Physical Education from the Superior School of Physical Education of the Federal University of Pelotas (Pelotas, Brazil). He is currently Adjunct Professor and Researcher at the Physical Education and Sports Institute of the Federal University of Ceará (Fortaleza, Brazil), where he is investigating topic related to sports medicine and training.
His current research focuses on acute and chronic responses to exercise, training and sports practice, mainly, but not exclusive to combat sports performance.
Filipe Prazeres
Prof. Filipe Prazeres is an integrated doctoral researcher in the Health for All research group, in the Research Line (LT1) - Preventive Medicine & Societal Challenges - Center for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS). He has a PhD in Medicine from the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Beira Interior with the thesis “MM-PT study: multimorbidity in primary care” (2018). Prof. Prazeres research interest is focused on patients who present multiple chronic medical conditions (multimorbidity) in primary care settings. His work addresses the epidemiological description of multimorbidity and its consequences, as well as relations between multimorbidity and psychosocial and sociodemographic characteristics, health and disease determinants, chronic illness management, patient-centered care, using quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
