Research highlights


“Active Buildings” project published initial results


demonstrating how people move in office space, and highlights potential targets to increase activity in office environment.


New project launched, “On your feet to earn your seat”, which will develop a habit based intervention to reduce sedentary behaviour in older adults


It’s never too late to start physical activity….. results from English Longitudinal Study of Ageing show that taking up activity in later life is linked to healthy ageing.

The “UK Cycling for Health Study” produces initial results
