I contributed to two preprints published last week which consider issues around assessing the relative intensity of physical activity in research studies. Links: osf.io/preprints/ps... and doi.org/10.1101/2025...

IJBNPA, the official journal of @isbnpa.bsky.social, is looking to increase capacity in a few key areas to maintain high quality, timely handling, and decision-making for all manuscripts. Complement our team with appropriate expertise in physical activity, behavioral nutrition, and related areas.

I've posted a Euraxess advert for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship project under Horizon Europe, focused on accelerometer methods for assessing children's physical activity. I’d be grateful for shares and reposts! 🙏 Link is below 👇 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/354331

New paper from our group expertly led by Dr Richard Tyler & Dr Mhairi MacDonald: Validity and reliability of the physical literacy in children questionnaire (PL-C Quest) for primary school children aged 8 to 11 years. Journal pre-proof: doi.org/10.1016/j.js...

Some highlights of my week ahead...2 meetings about NIHR child #physicalactivity grant applications, giving a webinar on accelerometers in PA research, free-living PA validation of machine learning models project meeting, knowledge exchange staff development session... (1/2)

This systematic review concluded that 'healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ clusters remained highly stable over time: Tracking and changes in the clustering of physical activity, sedentary behavior, diet, and sleep across childhood and adolescence: A systematic review onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
