Bristol Girls Dance Project: A cluster randomised controlled trial of an after-school dance programme to increase physical activity among 11- to 12-year-old girls (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Many children do not meet UK physical activity (PA) guidelines. Girls are less active than boys, and the age-related decline in activity is steeper for girls. Dance is the favourite form of PA among adolescent girls in the UK. Participati...

Behavior change techniques used to promote walking and cycling: A systematic review (2013)
Journal Article

Objective: Evidence on the effectiveness of walking and cycling interventions is mixed. This may be partly attributable to differences in intervention content, such as the cognitive and behavioral techniques (BCTs) used. Adopting a taxonomy of BCTs,...
