Seeing very few #physicalactivity related posts on here at the moment - any pointers?

This week I will be heading to Cardiff, to join colleagues in considering an update to the #physicalactivity questions in the National Survey for Wales 🐲. Can/should we encompass broader definitions, types, cultures and spaces of (in)activity?

If you are interested in #earlyyears #movement behaviours - then I recommend following my friend (and occasional colleague) @sophmphillips.bsky.social. The work she and the team are doing in the Child Health & #physicalactivity lab at Western University is great. www.childpalab.ca

Great day at #ScotParc yesterday. Interesting conversations about springboards and banana skins in health inequalities in physical activity systems

So I've had a go at a Starter Pack thing to see if @nanettemutrie.bsky.social and I can find more #physicalactivity friends who have made the jump across. Additional tags welcomed and will add go.bsky.app/DsHNWPf

I'm finalising the slides for my keynote lecture next Wednesday (9am UK time) in Belfast at the British Psychological Society (DSEP) @bps-dsep.bsky.social conference. The theme for this year's conference is 'Cultivating Connections'. Of the many possible connections, I will single out three.

A great paper - excellent reading for the next lab meeting. Many thanks for pulling this all together.

Just been looking at #parkrun participant numbers over the last 20 years. Unless I'm mistaken, 2024 is shaping up to smash the all-time record for both runner and volunteer numbers. Despite Storm Bert's best efforts! -

Physical fitness can lower risk of dementia, research finds

Sometimes when we do #systemsmapping we end up with soooo many feedback loops, it can be hard to know how to narrow them down. Our article includes just one example of how you can consider this issue. There is no perfect solution - but I also advise to factor in time to qualitatively explore them.

Our new article published in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health used #systemsmapping to reconsider the social determinants of #physicalactivity & #sedentarybehavior in families. Thanks to the @ehpssynergy.bsky.social who supported my involvement in this work. doi.org/10.1123/jpah...
