Asia–Pacific consensus statement on integrated 24-hour activity guidelines for the early years thelancet.com/journals/lanwp… @ASPActivity

All work, no play? In Thailand the work domain is the main driver of #PA followed by recreation & transport. This study suggests a need to scale policies targeting both SB & recreational PA-important, given that 76% of the population are highly sedentary doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2…

@isbnpa_emh @ISBNPA we just looked at how accurate smartphones + low-cost trackers are: doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2…

Our March newsletter is under development 🏗️and we are on the look out for recent #eHealth #mhealth #digitalhealth publications to feature. If you would like to promote your research please share with us in the comments below... 📜🏆🏃‍♀️ @isbnpa_emh @ISBNPA

👣We checked the accuracy of step counts from smartphones & 7 low-cost trackers used in Singapore's National Steps Challenge. 👍Low-cost trackers can be used confidently in large-scale programs, but smartphone data is less accurate doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2… @claire_mariegoh

Singapore scores C- on Report Card on #PhysicalActivity for kids and teens (but an A+ for how well the community & environment support physical activity) straitstimes.com/singapore/heal… @activehealthyk1 @straits_times @nparksbuzz @govsingapore

EVIDENCE we just can’t ignore! The costs of inaction on physical inactivity are SHOCKING. Over $500 billion direct Heath care costs if we don’t change PA levels by 2030 😳 Thanks for your leadership Andreis, @JuanaWillumsen @fiona_bull @WHO thelancet.com/journals/langl…

@khc_john Most of our work is with young children or adults. @N_Priyaa perhaps you can help? Or @ASPActivity @JMPBjournal

To researchers who are working with wrist-worn #accelerometer data in the adolescent population (13-17y): Which cut-points are you using for the analysis of PA/if you know anyone who is currently working on developing one (using raw acceleration data)?

How would you feel about wearing an accelerometer directly on your skin, for several days? Would you do it? What concerns would you have? @smartineedney and Dr Patrick Crowley are working to find out so that we can optimise data collection for Singapore @ProPASSconsort cohort.

@isbnpa_emh @ISBNPA 🙋We've been busy too! Setting up a digital cohort study: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… and testing a system to measure kids activities pediatrics.jmir.org/2022/2/e33312/

Have you published e- & mHealth research recently? Would you like to be featured in our upcoming newsletter? If so, comment below 🔽We can't wait to read what our members have been working on @ISBNPA #research #digitalhealth #PA #nutrition

Great to see @N_Priyaa sharing our work on Singapore's report card @AHK_Aus ##GlobalMatrix 4.0!

'Look through her eyes' - the importance of understanding women and what motivates women when promoting physical activity to women. Let's close the gap @Sport_England #thisgirlcan

@HealthTepi Yaay! Many congrats 🥳

I’ve officially passed my PhD! Many thanks to everyone who played a role - my colleagues, collaborators, friends, family and supervisors. For a bit of quiet reading, here’s my PhD thesis! researchgate.net/publication/36…
