Event-based analysis of free-living behaviour (2012)
Journal Article
Granat, M. (2012). Event-based analysis of free-living behaviour. Physiological Measurement, 33(11), 1785-1800. https://doi.org/10.1088/0967-3334/33/11/1785

The quantification of free-living physical activities is important in understanding how physical activity and sedentary behaviour impact on health and also on how interventions might modify free-living behaviour to enhance health. Quantification, and... Read More about Event-based analysis of free-living behaviour.

Validity, practical utility, and reliability of the activPAL in preschool children (2012)
Journal Article
activPAL in preschool children. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 44(4), 761-768. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0b013e31823b1dc7

Purpose: With the increasing global prevalence of childhood obesity, it is important to have appropriate measurement tools for investigating factors (e.g.,sedentary time) contributing to positive energy balance in early childhood. For preschool child... Read More about Validity, practical utility, and reliability of the activPAL in preschool children.

The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11–13 year old school children across seasons (2012)
Journal Article
McCrorie, P., Duncan, E., Granat, M., & Stansfield, B. (2012). The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11–13 year old school children across seasons. Physiological Measurement, 33(11), 1901-1912. https://doi.org/10.1088/0967-3334/33/11/1901

Evidence suggests that behaviours such as standing are beneficial for our health.
Unfortunately, little is known of the prevalence of this state, its importance in
relation to time spent stepping or variation across seasons. The aim of this study
w... Read More about The prevalence of upright non-stepping time in comparison to stepping time in 11–13 year old school children across seasons.
