🪑A new study investigates the criterion validity of #sedentary time, comparing four questionnaires to sedentary time measured with #activPAL inclinometers. 👀These Bland Altman plots are telling! @Mshivgulam Myles O'Brien Read the article 👉🔗doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2…

Interested in learning more about wearables in large-scale biomedical studies? We're running a residential short course from 22 - 26 September at Oxford Includes: inspirational speakers, great tutors, and hands-on data analysis. conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/machin…

We are slowly filling up ahead of one of our morning workshops at #icampam2024 Aiden Doherty Alaina Shreves and Adam Lewandowski give an overview to accessing the amazing UK Biobank resource.

The Hans Bussman Inagural Lecture: This year fiona bull from the World Health Organization (WHO) presents - Let's get moving: Transitioning from self-report to device-based measurement and monitoring of global physical activity levels #ICAMPAM2024

More Salford Human Movement and Rehabilitation Research UoS Health & Society work at #ICAMPAM2024 today. Great to see SMART Work & Life work presented Charlotte Edwardson (sorry I was in a meeting!) and Matt Wassall from CDT in Prosthetics & Orthotics Malcolm Granat Stephen Preece Prof Rich_Jones Professor Margaret Rowe University of Salford Dean

I had a great time presenting and discussing my poster with others at #ICAMPAM2024 yesterday. OxWEARS will produce the largest annotated validation dataset in the world, and will join other datasets made publicly available by the OxWearables group at Oxford Population Health (OxPop) University of Oxford

Applications are still open for this exciting course

📢Just Accepted! ⚖️A new brief report comparing MVPA from commercial and research-grade #wearables shows misalignment between monitors. 👀Check out the abstract ⬇️ for more details - article coming soon! Dr. Ben Maylor Amanda Daley James Sanders Charlotte Edwardson

A longer, healthier life could be as little as a ten-minute walk away! The latest publication from our group adds to the evidence that habitual daily physical activity is a powerful determinant of health and longevity. le.ac.uk/news/2024/augu…

Higher #physicalactivity volumes linked with longer life expectancy ➡️Higher intensity further adding to longer life ➡️Adding as little as 10-min brisk walk daily may have benefit ➡️Add up to 3.4 (women) & 4.6 (men) additional years 👉🏽sciencedirect.com/science/articl… via Journal of Sport and Health Science (JSHS)

💤Don't sleep on this abstract! 🛌A new article by Tatiana plekhanova Dr. Ben Maylor Charlotte Edwardson & colleagues comparing #ActivPAL estimated time in bed to #polysomnography shows some interesting results! 📄Check out the abstract here, full article coming soon!

It's been 1 week since we welcomed 32 researchers from around the world to Oxford to learn about machine learning of wearables data in large scale biomedical studies. We can't wait to see how this knowledge is used in future work! conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/machin…
