Our new article published in @JPAHjournal used #systemsmapping to reconsider the social determinants of #physicalactivity and #sedentarybehavior.
It was great to be part of this project with @ehps_synergy!

We challenge ideas of movement = health & inactivity = harm.
Instead, we explore how purposeful stillness & rest alongside #physicalactivity are vital to human flourishing.
Thanks @OliviaFlemons, @JoePigginPhD, Thiago & Michelle!

Why aren’t interventions getting us moving?

These findings provide robust evidence supporting the importance of the built environment in directly improving health-enhancing #physicalactivity and offer potential guidance for public policy activities in this area.

🚶♂️ Why is it so hard to get people moving?
💼 Because powerful industries don’t want us to.
We call for bold action. #Physicalactivity is political. Let’s treat it that way.
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?
