Research Interests
My research area is physical activity and health promotion. My work focuses on movement behaviours (physical activity, screen time, and sleep) and physical literacy (physical competence, knowledge and understanding, and motivation and confidence) and its impact on health and development in under 5s, children and adolescents.
My research themes include:
- Active places of learning ~ whole-school physical activity
- Sport and active recreation for all
- Active travel
I co-lead the Active Healthy Kids Scotland, FitBack Scotland and SUNRISE Scotland projects with Prof John Reilly. I am also a member of the International Motor Development Research Consortium (I-MDRC) and the Health Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) Europe Network.
