Okely, Anthony D.

Overview

Anthony (Tony) Okely is a Senior Professor and Director of Research at Early Start at the University of Wollongong, Australia. He has been awarded over $11 Million in competitive funding, and published around 200 peer-reviewed journal articles that have been cited more than 10,000 times.

Tony’s research focuses on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and motor development in children.

Tony led the research team that developed and recently updated the Australian Physical Activity Recommendations for Children 0-5 years, and the Australian Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines for Children and Young People. He is also part of the Guideline Development Group for the upcoming WHO guidelines on physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours in children under 5 years of age.

He is leading a proposed international surveillance study of 24-hour movement behaviours in the early years (called SUNRISE) which will involve around 25 countries, more than half of which are either low- or middle-income according to the UN Human Development Index.
