Research – wellbeing and physical activity

Co-research: Barriers and facilitators to workplace physical activity and sedentary behaviour.

Co-creating interventions to address workplace physical activity and sedentary behaviour.

(current)

This study will work with employees from a variety of organisations and across multiple levels of the organisational hierarchy to ascertain what the key barriers and facilitators of physical activity and sedentary behaviour are within the workplace. This information will give us a better insight into the most impactful areas which researchers and practitioners can then specifically target.

We will then work with all participants to co-produce a series of physical activity and sedentary behaviour interventions fit for the workplace. This information will give employees a voice in which types of interventions are most relevant to them. The overarching aim, is to build a toolkit of co-produced interventions which can then be built upon by further researchers and practitioners.
