Funded Activity Summary

Children’s physical activity threshold. This project aims to investigate children’s short-term responses to increases and decreases in physical activity above and below usual levels. Increasing physical activity is important for population health, but efforts to increase physical activity have largely been unsuccessful. Few studies have successfully changed this behaviour over time. Individuals may have a daily physical activity threshold which could affect efforts to increase physical activity. This project will fully test this hypothesis. The expected outcomes could inform the development of strategies to enable children to increase and sustain their physical activity levels.
