My research focuses on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, and health promotion, with an emphasis on determinants of movement behaviours and their relationship with health outcomes in different populations.
Research interests include:
- Interventions promoting physical activity;
- Measurement of movement behaviours using accelerometers;
- Monitoring movement behaviours and mechanisms linking them to health outcomes;
- Social inequalities in health.
