A study @Nature shows that relocating to a more walkable #city leads to sustained increases in daily steps and moderate-to-vigorous #exercise, highlighting urban design as a powerful lever for better public health.
Such a move increased the number of steps🚶🏽♂️people #walking each day; these gains lasted for at least three months and were demonstrable across most age and gender groups, although the increase was not statistically significant for women over 50 years of age.

Fear of disease hasn't motivated us to exercise. Perhaps instead it is time to highlight the enjoyable aspects of movement, says Dawn Teh newscientist.com/article/mg2…

Would you like to be a guest in the podcast?
Let us know if you do research on sedentary behaviour, physical activity, or exercise science, and have 60 minutes for a recording.
Would be great to have you as a guest.
Shaunna who co-leads our Network was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer, and designed an exercise plan to enhance her treatment
