我们的研究专注于干预措施的开发和测试，这些措施鼓励人们在一生中参与更多的体育活动和较少久坐的行为。我们全年都接受研究生研究的申请。您可以在一年的过程中学习MPhil，也可以在三年的过程中学习博士学位。您可以在我们的四个研究领域中的任何一个上进行研究：行为与行为改变，健康影响，全球化与非传染性疾病（NCD），测量，技术。作为博士学位的一部分，您将获得研究人员专业发展的研究生证书（PG Cert RPD）。该证书旨在为您的研究提供支持，并奖励您在这里作为研究生所要做的事情。它会帮助您提高对专业发展和就业能力至
Our research is focused on the development and testing of interventions that encourage people to participate in more physical activity and less sedentary behaviour throughout life.We accept applications for postgraduate research study at any point throughout the year.You can study an MPhil MRes over one year or a PhD over the course of three years, or part-time equivalents.PhD involves at least three years of independent research study supported by a number of members of academic staff. You'll complete a minimum of 60 credits of the Postgraduate Certificate in Research development programme (PgCert RPD) over the course of your PhD studies.MPhil involves at least one year of independent research study with academic supervision. As part of your MPhil, you'll participate in the PgCert RPD and will complete a minimum of 20 credits over the course of your studies.MRes involves a minimum of 20 credits of taught element and 160 credits of independent research study supported by members of the academic research team. You can study these degrees in any of our research areas. Physical activity and health Behaviour & behaviour change Health effects Globalisation & non-communicable disease (NCD) Measurement Technology.Physical activity and public health Our research on physical activity and public health is focused on improving population health across the lifecourse and across the globe. This includes improving the monitoring of physical activity and the other movement behaviours (sedentary behaviour including screen time and sleep), improving policy on the movement behaviours, developing a better understanding of how the movement behaviours influence population health, and the development and testing of population health interventions to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Research supervision is available in the following topics: Public health surveillance of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep Evaluation of physical activity and sedentary behaviour policy Behavioural epidemiology of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep across the lifecourse Development and evaluation of population-based interventions aimed at improving levels of the movement behaviours Longitudinal studies of the movement behaviours.
