📢 New publication We challenge ideas of movement = health & inactivity = harm. Instead, we explore how purposeful stillness & rest alongside #physicalactivity are vital to human flourishing. Thanks @OliviaFlemons, @JoePigginPhD, Thiago & Michelle! doi.org/10.1123/jpah...

"The global community of physical activity scientists, advocates, and policy influencers must expose, debunk, and confront those who are shaping current narratives that devalue or obstruct physical activity related policy." Great ideas here!

8. Thiago Matias (et al) offer a new foundation to base our understanding of human movement. The human urges to feel, to connect, to explore, and to transform are considered as fundamental starting points which can inform research, teaching and policy about PA. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

6. Dominic Malcolm et al show how neoliberalism leads to healthism, which promotes exercise which diverge from health maximising behaviours, and how this extends differences in PA uptake, which embeds the health inequalities PAHP is explicitly claimed to address. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

8 articles for changing your mind about physical activity, human movement, and health. 1. @benjaminrigby.bsky.social et al encourage us to pause and reflect on how our advocacy might inadvertently be limiting our efforts to try populations more active. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling
Walking and cycling get 90c per person each year from the Australian government. What if that figure rose to $5, $10 or $15?

What an excellent call to action ... "to develop politically informed action on PA." Bravo Tepi and colleagues. I believe traditional scholarship (which is important of course) can be transcended in favour of creative, challenging and disruptive work.

Yep, there's been much optimism about "collaboration" and "partnerships" (which is hard to argue with). But we also need to consider "refusals", "resistance", and "rejection" of some interest groups. And yes, high rises I think are an enemy.

Great question. I believe yes. Inadvertently, car companies (in urban areas.) Politicians who serve corporate donors rather than their voting constituents.
