....and use a "glass half-full” analogy to discuss how interventions could be stratified at the individual level to focus on increasing PA volume and/or exercise capacity.

We observed ~15 min/day MVPA using absolute thresholds compared with ~45 mins/day MVPA when using individual relative intensity thresholds....

NEW Publication from our group lead by @C_Edwardson published in @bmj_latest shows our SMART Work & Life intervention with and without a standing desk can reduce daily sitting time. Read the main outcomes paper here: bmj.com/content/378/bmj-2021…

Nice to see the hard work of @NathanPDawkins and colleagues at @LLHRGroup has been highlighted by @AndyBeetroot in the latest issue of @MSSEonline. The article can be found open access here: journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/p…
