Advancing population-based approaches to physical activity participation in rural communities [ 2009 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Alison Marshall (Principal investigator)

Brief description Nationally the public health burden of inactive lifestyle is increasing; yet no research is being conducted in rural areas. My research will contribute new knowledge on best-practice physical activity programs designed to reach and meet the needs of people in rural areas. This is an innovative extension of my previous research that has produced programs that reduce the burden of chronic disease risk factors, by helping people to achieve optimal health and well-being through physical activity.
