Funded Activity Summary

Physical activity (PA) confers significant protection against heart disease and other chronic conditions, but women and those of low socioeconomic position (SEP) are at increased risk of physical inactivity. In order to inform the development of PA promotion strategies, it is important to determine why some women of low SEP are physically active despite their adversity. This research aims to understand influences on PA, and how and where to best intervene to promote PA, among women of low SEP.
