Similarities and differences in the determinants of trips outdoors performed by UK urban-and rural-living older adults
The frequency of trips outdoors is a strong indicator of older adults’ physical activity levels. This qualitative study compared and contrasted determinants of trips outdoors between rural- (n = 13) and urban-living (n = 15)...
Opportunities and challenges in physical activity research in young people
The purpose of this opinion piece is to discuss opportunities and challenges to physical activity [PA] research in young people. Two key limitations were identified; (i) the lack of specificity of the types of PA measured and...
Determinants of neighborhood activity of adults age 70 and over
