Thrilled to be able to share with you this passion project of mine over the last year:

Very happy that our paper with Silvio Maltagliati was flashed out on the Trend Papers in Sport Sciences - we show that affective experiences are key to promoting sustained engagement in physical activity.

NEW paper, in the latest issue of IRSEP. Former PhD student Hamsini Sivaramakrishnan led this meta-analysis that showed sport participation is associated with small but significant psychosocial benefits for middle-aged and older adults. Full-text: tandfonline.com/eprint/JCWIIBT…

A must-read for all colleagues working on habits or the psychological mechanisms involved in self-regulation of health behaviors.

Our new (£0) review summarises the psychology of #habit and how #habit change can – and can't – change behaviour in the real-world

We start from a simple premise:
Habit ≠ habitual behaviour

This is key to understanding habits – and here’s why...

I am very excited to discuss how effort minimization may play a role in our inability to engage in physical activity, and what the factors are to overcome the cost of effort.

A BJSM meta-analysis reveals a startling fact: intentions to be physically active rarely lead to action

Discover why the intention–behaviour gap persists and how the Theory of Effort Minimisation in PA (TEMPA) could hold the key to overcoming it: bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

This was a prolific month of may!!
So lucky to work with all these scholars!

Ready for my presentation on the role of effort minimization to explain the intention-behavior gap in physical activity for the 'BLENDED INTENSIVE PROGRAM 'Neurolimits' - Italy'
