Geoff Wilson MP Queensland Minister for Education and Training It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Brisbane for this the 26th International Conference of the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. The Bligh Government has supported this conference because it acknowledges ACHPER’s role in supporting professionals who work in the areas of health, physical education, recreation and sport in both education and community settings. ACHPER and in particular the Queensland Branch and its Conference Organising Committee should be very proud of the program it has brought together. I am particularly delighted to welcome visitors from a number of countries not only from the Oceania region but from more than twenty other countries around the world. The Conference theme Creating Active Futures is relevant globally as governments and communities set their goals to promote healthy behaviours amongst children and youth. Conference participants are well aware of the role of education at all levels in regards to this challenge. Here in Queensland the Bligh Government is committed to creating a healthier Queensland as part of our Toward Q2 goals for 2020. In partnership with the Federal Government we will continue to support and encourage teachers to provide quality health and physical education programs in schools. I know you will be working hard but I hope you will take the time to enjoy some of the sights and attractions of our wonderful city.

Geoff Wilson MP Queensland Minister for Education and Training A message from Dr Tom Cuddihy Conference Chair On behalf of the Conference Committee of the 26th National/International Biennial Conference of the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, I welcome you to the Conference and to Brisbane. I was privileged to be part of the Committee for the 2000 Pre Olympic Congress involving ACHPER that was held here in Brisbane and I am indebted to the many colleagues who have stood up once again to be your hosts. The Conference is fortunate to have the generous support of sponsors you will see acknowledged in this booklet. The support of the Queensland Department of Education and Training and the School of Human Movement Studies of the Queensland University of Technology warrant special mentions. This biennial event provides a challenging opportunity for members of our profession to share their research and experience across ACHPER’s areas of focus. The theme of the Conference Creating Active Futures, we believe provides us with the challenge as professionals to move beyond some of our current practices and to pay more attention to a world that must now find new ways for education and community settings to influence the health and well being of young people. We are delighted that we have been able to acquire the services of a number of outstanding keynote speakers to inspire a program that covers a broad range of health, physical education and sport-related issues that should provide for all participants. We will endeavour to provide you with the best possible assistance while you are with us to ensure that your stay in Brisbane is professionally challenging and socially satisfying.

  • John Cheffers - BU Professor Studied Sports Fans’ Behaviour
    John Cheffers - BU professor studied sports fans’ behaviour By J.M. Lawrence - Globe Correspondent - November 08, 2012 John Cheffers - BOSTON UNIVERSITY/FILE 1990 – Dr. Cheffers, who had returned to live in Australia after becoming a BU professor emeritus, died in his sleep Oct. 28 while flying to Sydney from San Francisco with one of his sons. He was 76 and had recently been hospitalized at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Cheffers led the Human Movement Program at Boston University for more than 20 years and advised more than 65 doctoral students. “John’s passion for first-class teaching has influenced hundreds, if not thousands, of his students worldwide,” said Len Zaichkowsky, a sports psychologist who was his longtime colleague at BU. “I want very much to mention the names of many of these individuals, but the list would be too long,” Zaichkowsky said. “It is accurate to say that they have become first-class university presidents, professors, Olympic athletes, sport administrators, sport scientists, and teachers of kids.” An authority on crowd behavior, John Cheffers studied why sports fans wave giant foam fingers and sometimes angrily pelt players with cups. “The love-hate relationship which spawns so much violence by fans is often ingrained in our youth by the dubious ethic that finishing first is the most important thing in sports,” Dr. Cheffers, a former education professor at Boston University, told The New York Times. “The result is that many fans are frustrated athletes who simultaneously love and hate the ‘heroes’ they watch in stadiums and arenas,” he said in 1981. “When a team wins, a fan shouting, ‘We’re No.
