The Cost-Effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life Intervention for Reducing Sitting Time (2022)
Journal Article
Cox, E., Walker, S., Edwardson, C. L., Biddle, S. J. H., Clarke-Cornwell, A. M., Clemes, S. A., …Richardson, G. (2022). The Cost-Effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life Intervention for Reducing Sitting Time. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 19(22), 14861. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph192214861

Sedentary behaviours continue to increase and are associated with heightened risks of morbidity and mortality. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of SMART Work & Life (SWAL), an intervention designed to reduce sitting time inside and outside of w...

Effectiveness of an intervention for reducing sitting time and improving health in office workers: three arm cluster randomised controlled trial (2022)
Journal Article
Edwardson, C. L., Biddle, S. J. H., Clemes, S. A., Davies, M. J., Dunstan, D. W., Eborall, H., …Clarke-Cornwell, A. M. (2022). Effectiveness of an intervention for reducing sitting time and improving health in office workers: three arm cluster randomised controlled trial. BMJ, 378, e069288. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj-2021-069288

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention, with and without a height adjustable desk, on daily sitting time, and to investigate the relative effectiveness of the two interventions, and the effectiveness of both interventions on phy...

The contribution of commuting to total daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (2020)
Journal Article
Gbadamosi, A., Clarke-Cornwell, A., Sindall, P., & Granat, M. (2020). The contribution of commuting to total daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Journal for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour, 3(3), 189-196. https://doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2019-0027

Background: Actively commuting to and from work can increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and increase adherence to physical activity (PA) guidelines; however, there is a lack of evidence on the contribution of mixed-mode commutes an...

Quantifying sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions in free-living environments using the activPAL thigh-worn activity monitor (2019)
Journal Article
Pickford, C., Findlow, A., Kerr, A., Banger, M., Clarke-Cornwell, A., Hollands, K., …Granat, M. (2019). Quantifying sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions in free-living environments using the activPAL thigh-worn activity monitor. Gait & Posture, 73, 140-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2019.07.126

Purpose: Standing up, sitting down and walking require considerable effort and coordination, which are crucial indicators to rehabilitation (e.g. stroke), and in older populations may indicate the onset of frailty and physical and cognitive decline....

The contribution of active commuting to total daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (2018)
Journal Article
Gbadamosi, A., Clarke-Cornwell, A., Sindall, P., & Granat, M. (2018). The contribution of active commuting to total daily moderate to vigorous physical activity. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 15(10), S177. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0535

Background: Physical inactivity is associated with a number of chronic diseases. Active commuting has been recognised as a way to increase daily physical activity. The aim of this study was to look at the contribution active commuting makes to total... Read More about The contribution of active commuting to total daily moderate to vigorous physical activity.

Occupational sedentary time and associations with adiposity markers : a quantile regression analysis (2018)
Journal Article
markers : a quantile regression analysis. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 15(10), S187. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0535

Background: Sedentary behaviour is associated with a number of health related outcomes, independent of physical activity; however, there is limited research that has examined the role that occupational sedentary time contributes to these associations...

Review of wearable technologies (2017)
Journal Article
Clarke-Cornwell, A. (2017). Review of wearable technologies. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 76(Supp 2), 7. https://doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2017-eular.7177

Working environments have in recent times become less physical with the increase in sedentary, computer-based occupations. Sedentary time is known to be associated with a number of health-related outcomes, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes,... Read More about Review of wearable technologies.
