#PhysicalActivity field needs mission-oriented research to make a real difference. We propose a framework for realigning the research agenda with population-level impact. @TheLancet thelancet.com/journals/lance…
How many steps do we really need a day for good health? Excited to share our new research in @TheLancetPH thelancet.com/journals/lanpu… * Even small increases for those inactive could be helpful * 7000 is a realistic target backed by science Keep stepping 🚶♂️🚶🧑🦯🏃♀️
Last year we hosted our systems mapping workshop. Researchers & stakeholders from different disciplines/sectors got together to collectively reflect on the systems of #PhysicalActivity in NSW. Paper out @JPAHjournal : journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/… So much learning in this process❤️!

Many thanks to @JSHS_MedHealth for the invitation 🙏 We enjoyed reflecting on the field of #PhysicalActivity Any other reflections? We look forward to conversations beyond this paper. @Ulf_Ekelund @AdrianBauman @pjclare sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Excellent work @YutaNemoto3, studies like this taking a #lifecourse perspective and examining long-term #PhysicalActivity patterns make a great contribution to the field. Many thanks for involving. It has been a pleasure working together :-)
