We're looking for non-NHS physical activity providers to share experiences and support needs for engaging with people who live with severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder). Have no such experience? We still want to hear from you! Survey: shusls.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8d…

Great presentation from PhD student, @marketa_simova, at #DSEP2024 on Help-Seeking for well-being in high-performance coaches. Some really good work going on here.
What a day! Huge thanks to Libby at @AccessSport for an awesome day at Hillsborough BMX track. Students from @brigantialearn1 were ‘buzzing!’ @movemoresheff @DrGarethJones @ThisGirlCanUK #Resilience #ConfidenceBoost
Yet again my belief in @F1 has been trounced by steward decisions and favouring #maxverstappen just a bit boring seeing him cheat, pushing cars off the track. @wearetherace why does everyone understand the rules bar him? And allow him to get away with it?
Physical activity can improve mental wellbeing but people experience barriers to living at active life. We conducted a survey to understand these barriers and what can be done to overcome them. #WorldMentalHealthDay @SHU_PAWPH @SHU_AWRC #SPACES @YorkStJohn @BangorUni #UniofLeeds
What a day. Lots of folk to chat to about bikes and community, lots of kids supported to challenge fears and progress. It never gets old seeing the smile on the face’s of people overcoming barriers and stokes the fire for more 👌🏼@movemoresheff @ParksSheffield #HPTSheffiled
Awesome evening at Forge Valley School cycle track to celebrate the #TourOfBritain coming to Sheffield tomorrow! Over 120 people trying mountain biking, BMX, learn to ride and inclusive cycling activities! Thanks to all involved ❤️
A year in the making. Many volunteer and community hours and graft has gone into turning this idea into reality. Supporting the next generation of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts @BritishCycling @ParksSheffield @movemoresheff @hillsboroughpumptrack
A real privilege to be apart of this really cool bit of science after spending years watching WSM wondering about how their muscles and tendons produce such force. Kudos to @tombalshaw and Jonathan Folland for leading the project. @SHU_AWRC @SHU_SPARC

NEW paper🧵 provides a more nuanced understanding of #PhysicallyActiveLearning #PAL and highlights the ambiguity associated with its theoretical foundation, particularly in practice
A brilliant few days at #WSPA2024 Now time for reflection and digest. My thinking in Whole-System Approaches, implementation science and behaviour change and their interaction has evolved. Next steps: how we can turn this into practice/further learning @SHU_PAWPH @movemoresheff
