A million thanks to our brilliant guest speaker Amanda Rebar for educating us on using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in habit research! Thank you also to all participants for the interesting discussion at the end. Missed the session? The recording is available here:


Thrilled to be able to share with you this passion project of mine over the last year: The Specification of a Computational Model of Physical Activity Habit (it's not as scary as it sounds!) David Conroy Constantino Manuel Benjamin Gardner journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/abst… (1-5)

Published this week: our new paper, offering a testable model of the impact of #habit on behaviour in associated settings Amanda Rebar David Conroy Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews EHPS Habit Special Interest Group journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/abst…
