Undoubtedly one of the most important videos we've* ever made. Within the first minute, you'll be alarmed at the general public perception of the danger cyclists pose to them vs cars. It's incredibly enlightening, and shows how much needs to be done to change the way we all live. •nothing to do with me, but a GREAT job by the team at GCN.

A very meaningful collaboration with @SteveGilbert84 et al @msk_health. We need to pause & think why we have been missing disadvantaged populations who need #PhysicalActivity interventions the most. Hint: maybe funding/academic reward systems have something to do with it? 🤔

Designing #physicalactivity intervention studies that sufficiently address cultural, linguistic and geographical #diversity is critical to ensure the reliability of comparisons with population-representative data doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2023-06…

No doubt you’ve read about @adidas’ new running shoe, the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1. Well we’ve adinuf of their disregard for the environment, people & planet. There’s no place for a single use shoe. We are #AntiEvo & we’ve sent them this letter. Let them know you’ve #adinuf

We’re told to exercise because it’s “good for us”. But are health benefits enough incentive for most people to exercise regularly? Truth is, most health benefits associated with exercise are both time-delayed and intangible. And both of these factors tend to devalue these benefits. Couple this with our tendency to: - Avoid effort - Prioritise immediate rewards, and - Play down our risk of future negative events For many, the short-term costs of exercise outweigh the long-term benefits. It’s tough to compete with other more sedentary options providing immediate rewards with minimal (or no) effort. Part of the solution? To increase our focus on the many short-term benefits of exercise - such as enhanced pleasure, mood, or enjoyment. If we don’t exercise for long-term health benefits, we should just because it can make us feel good. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3633…

Can we run from #depression? Yes, says our new analysis of 177 studies and 10,673 people. #Exercise seems as good as therapy and medication, especially for #Dance, #strength training, #running and #walking. Aim for >30mins per day. See our preprint: bit.ly/deprex_preprint

BREAKING: one of the world's leading scientists on extinction says 70% of all Earth's big animals (mammals, birds) have been wiped out since 1918, along with 90% of SE Asia's tropical forests since 2000, and 98% of big ocean fish since 1973 - the rapid mass extinction scenario 🧵

The cost of physical inactivity will reach over USD300 billion in 10 years if governments don’t take urgent action to encourage more physical activity among their populations. The first-ever WHO Global status report on physical activity 2022 explains 👉bit.ly/3D5TNMO

Thread: 1/. As the death toll rises to 41 today, four women you should know who were deliberately and unlawfully killed in Iran when protesting gender apartheid and the killing of #Masha_Amini: Hadis Najafi, aged 20, shot six times when security forces opened fire on her.

Just watched a personal trainer try to get a group to perform an exercise so complicated none of them could actually do it. Hopefully aim of the class was to waste everyone's time, because other than the PT's ego, no one got a workout there!
