A typical European car has 5 seats moving only 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most that does is needed to move the car, not people. It’s parked 92% of the time & spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Sound efficient? HT Ellen MacArthur Foundation

A great opportunity to be able to share our research which explores if the benefits of interrupting evening prolonged sitting with activity breaks persist overnight or into the subsequent 48 hours at #ACSM24 🌙

Great post doc opportunity to work with a great team at @UCL

WHO latest report shows 1/3 adults (1.8 billion) do not meet recommended levels of physical activity - this increases risk of NCDs. Wake up call for more action & investment in PA. Read more in Lancet Global Health tinyurl.com/39ysuhx6

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT Melissa & Chris Bruntlett
