Occupational physical activity is stable over time; new PACE Lab study

A new research article by Dr. Jennifer Gay and her colleague, Dr. David Buchner from the University of Illinois, has been published. “Twelve-Month Stability of Accelerometer-Measured Occupational and Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Compensation Effects” is now available online ahead of publication and will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Journal for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour. Dr. Gay found that physical activity, measured by an accelerometer, was stable over 6 and 12 months, with greater stability seen in field versus office-based jobs. This is the fourth article published out of Dr. Gay’s American Heart Association funded study on occupational physical activity and health.
