Many thanks to @JSHS_MedHealth for the invitation 🙏
We enjoyed reflecting on the field of #PhysicalActivity
Any other reflections? We look forward to conversations beyond this paper.

Our next speaker is the brilliant Dougie Maxwell @activpal @cityofscience offering his reflections on our legacy of research over the past 60years at the Wolfson Centre @UniStrathclyde.
Such an engaging and humerous talk about our history ⌛

PS: thigh-worn accelerometer based data measuring actual sitting in almost 5.5K middle aged adults from the 1970 British Cohort Study @ma_hamer @DougieMaxwell @paltechnologies
Middle aged people in the UK spend the majority of our waking hours sitting down (9.5 hours on average for men, 9 for women). Based on #BCS70 accelerometry data at age 46. #longitudinal @CLScohorts @UCLSocRes @ma_hamer @DrEmilyGilbert @M_Stamatakis
