Participant and workplace champion experiences of an intervention designed to reduce sitting time in desk-based workers: SMART work & life. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 20(1), 142. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12966-023-01539-6

Background: A cluster randomised controlled trial demonstrated the effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life (SWAL) behaviour change intervention, with and without a height-adjustable desk, for reducing sitting time in desk-based workers. Staff within o... Read More about Participant and workplace champion experiences of an intervention designed to reduce sitting time in desk-based workers: SMART work & life.

A multicomponent intervention to reduce daily sitting time in office workers: the SMART Work & Life three-arm cluster RCT (2023)
Journal Article
Edwardson, C. L., Maylor, B. D., Biddle, S. J., Clemes, S. A., Cox, E., Davies, M. J., …Clarke-Cornwell, A. M. (2023). A multicomponent intervention to reduce daily sitting time in office workers: the SMART Work & Life three-arm cluster RCT. Public Health Research, 11(6), 1-229. https://doi.org/10.3310/dnyc2141

Background: Office workers spend 70–85% of their time at work sitting. High levels of sitting have been linked to poor physiological and psychological health. Evidence shows the need for fully powered randomised controlled trials, with long-term foll...

Beyond the Clinic: Maximum Free-Living Stepping as a Potential Measure of Physical Performance (2023)
Journal Article
Speirs, C., Dunlop, M. D., Dunlop, M. D., Roper, M., & Granat, M. (2023). Beyond the Clinic: Maximum Free-Living Stepping as a Potential Measure of Physical Performance. Sensors, 23(14), 6555. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23146555

Measures of physical performance captured within a clinical setting are commonly used as a surrogate for underlying health or disease risk within an individual. By measuring physical behaviour within a free-living setting, we may be able to better qu...

Walking Behaviour of Individuals with Intermittent Claudication Compared to Matched Controls in Different Locations: An Exploratory Study (2023)
Journal Article
Iveson, A. M. J., Abaraogu, U. O., Dall, P. M., Granat, M. H., & Ellis, B. M. (2023). Walking Behaviour of Individuals with Intermittent Claudication Compared to Matched Controls in Different Locations: An Exploratory Study. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 20(10), https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph20105816

Individuals with intermittent claudication (IC) are less physically active than their peers, but how this varies with location is unclear. Individuals with IC and matched controls [sex, age ±5 years, home < 5 miles] wore an activity monitor (activPAL...

Use of accelerometers to track changes in stepping behavior with the introduction of the 2020 COVID pandemic restrictions: a case study (2023)
Journal Article
restrictions: a case study. Journal for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2022-0015

The COVID-19 lockdown introduced restrictions to free-living activities. Changes to these activities can be accurately
quantified using combined measurement. Using activPAL3 and self-reports to collect activity data, the study aimed to quantify
cha... Read More about Use of accelerometers to track changes in stepping behavior with the introduction of the 2020 COVID pandemic restrictions: a case study.
