First #wearables-based study describing dose-response of incidental #PhysicalActivity against #cardiovascular events and mortality
ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.…
How much heart health do you get for your buck from day to day (non-exercise) activities?
* 1 min of incidental vigorous #PhysicalActivity ≈ 3-3.5 mins of moderate ≈ 35-50 mins of light intensity
* 1 min of incidental ≈ 10-17 minutes of light intensity
Yet, most consumer #wearables still count 1 min of vigorous = 2 minutes of moderate....
Thanks to great postdocs

This is an interesting example of a deeply personal strategy for increasing feelings of happiness in sport.
It just reminds me I do it for her. I do it for all the kids and Peta and everyone else...it's very special and it gives me good feelings coming into a finish"

Debunking Habit Myths: The Science of Lasting Change
Researchers debunk pop psychology myths about habits, showing that habits are just mental links between situations and actions.
Habit impulses compete with other impulses, such as intentions and emotions, to determine behavior.
Forming new habits helps but doesn't guarantee lasting change.
Backup plans and strategies are key to overcoming disruptions and breaking bad habits.

Great to get out and about yesterday with a trip across the border, a different kind of Wednesday!
Level 4 meets level 6 on #penyfan @UniNorthants sport students doing upward mobility in the beautiful Welsh hills. #Feelingscale started at 3, were 5 at top, and 5 at the finish but may have crept into a minus somewhere in between! #spo3009

Menstrual cycle phase has NO influence on performance‼️
This new groundbreaking study took 21 highly trained female endurance athletes and took them through a battery of performance tests during…
Early Follicular + Ovulatory + Mid-Luteal Phases🩸
…for either one (n = 7) or two (n = 14) cycles.
The performance variables included; peak oxygen uptake, time-to-exhaustion, running economy, power output 📊
🗣️ “None of the measured performance-determining variables were influenced by MC phase or serum estrogen or progesterone concentrations.”

$3.5M trial with > 1,000 participants examines the effects of "gamification" (without assessing affect or enjoyment), financial incentives, and their combination, on physical activity. Without any input from or reference to exercise psychology research.
