Physical Activity Measurement & Wearable-Based Interventions for Youth Health
Professor of Physical Activity, Health, and Wellbeing at Edge Hill University
Ormskirk, United Kingdom
About
I offer expertise in physical activity and 24-hour movement behaviour research focused on children and young people, spanning measurement, intervention development, and evaluation for multidisciplinary projects.
Core Interests and Expertise:
-
Advanced measurement and interpretation of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep data using device-based monitoring
-
Wearable devices as intervention tools—integrating real-time feedback, data-driven decision making, and behaviour change strategies
-
Theory-driven intervention design and mixed-methods evaluation (feasibility, process, effectiveness)
-
Data-driven personalisation and adaptive intervention approaches using movement behaviour data
Collaboration Interests: Partnerships on movement behaviour research projects addressing digital health solutions for youth, chronic disease and mental ill-health prevention through early-life behaviour change, health inequalities, and implementation science.
Added Value: Strong track record in generating rigorous evidence, experience with diverse stakeholder engagement (schools, families, policymakers), multidisciplinary collaboration across public health and exercise science, and commitment to translating research into practice.
I welcome discussions with researchers, technology developers, policy organisations, and implementation partners advancing youth health through innovative, data-driven physical activity interventions.
