Physical activity and public health
Our research on physical activity and public health is focused on improving population health across the lifecourse and across the globe. This includes improving the monitoring of physical activity and the other movement behaviours (sedentary behaviour including screen time and sleep), improving policy on the movement behaviours, developing a better understanding of how the movement behaviours influence population health, and the development and testing of population health interventions to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Research supervision is available in the following topics:
- Public health surveillance of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep
- Evaluation of physical activity and sedentary behaviour policy
- Behavioural epidemiology of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep across the lifecourse
- Development and evaluation of population-based interventions aimed at improving levels of the movement behaviours
- Longitudinal studies of the movement behaviours
