James F. Sallis,Ester Cerin,Ester Cerin,Terry L. Conway,Marc A. Adams,Lawrence D. Frank,Michael Pratt,Deborah Salvo,Jasper Schipperijn,Graham Smith,Kelli L. Cain,Rachel Davey,Jacqueline Kerr,Poh-Chin Lai,Josef Mitáš,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Olga L. Sarmiento,Grant Schofield,Jens Troelsen,Delfien Van Dyck,Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij,Neville Owen +22 more
TL;DR: Design of urban environments has the potential to contribute substantially to physical activity and similarity of findings across cities suggests the promise of engaging urban planning, transportation, and parks sectors in efforts to reduce the health burden of the global physical inactivity pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Why Are Girls Less Physically Active than Boys? Findings from the LOOK Longitudinal Study
TL;DR: Girls PA was less favourably influenced by socio-ecological factors at the individual, family, school and environmental levels, suggesting the gap in PA between boys and girls can be reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceived neighborhood environmental attributes associated with walking and cycling for transport among adult residents of 17 cities in 12 countries: the IPEN study
Jacqueline Kerr,Jennifer A. Emond,Hannah Badland,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Olga L. Sarmiento,Jordan A. Carlson,James F. Sallis,Ester Cerin,Ester Cerin,Kelli L. Cain,Terry L.

Macfarlane,Lars Christiansen,Delfien Van Dyck,Rachel Davey,Ines Aguinaga-Ontoso,Deborah Salvo,Deborah Salvo,Takemi Sugiyama,Neville Owen,Josef Mitáš,Loki Natarajan +22 more
TL;DR: Many perceived environmental attributes supported both cycling and walking; however, highly walkable environments may not support cycling for transport, and these findings can guide the implementation of global health strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised controlled trial of the cost-effectiveness of water-based therapy for lower limb osteoarthritis.
TL;DR: Group-based exercise in water over 1 year can produce significant reduction in pain and improvement in physical function in older adults with lower limb OA, and may be a useful adjunct in the management of hip and/or knee OA.
