Thanks @JPAHjournal! Your commitment to equal representation in research from all cultures, countries, and climates is truly appreciated. With the Pacific making up less than 1% of physical activity research, your efforts to boost representation from the global south are key. 🌍
👋 Meet Sarah Ryan (@sryan801), a Project Coordinator at @UOWEarlyStart who is pursuing a PhD w/@uow. She recently published in JPAH and found that three-quarters of children are not meeting 24-hr movement guidelines in the US-affiliated Pacific region.
