Prolonged, uninterrupted periods of sedentary time may be associated with increased risk of Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality even if the minimum recommended levels of daily physical activity are achieved. It is reporte... Read More about School-based Interventions to Reduce Sedentary Behaviour in Children: A Systematic Review.

Exercise training comprising of single 20-s cycle sprints does not provide a sufficient stimulus for improving maximal aerobic capacity in sedentary individuals (2016)
Journal Article
Songsorn, P., Lambeth-Mansell, A., Mair, J. L., Haggett, M., Fitzpatrick, B. L., Ruffino, J., …Vollaard, N. B. J. (2016). Exercise training comprising of single 20-s cycle sprints does not provide a sufficient stimulus for improving maximal aerobic capa

Purpose: Sprint interval training (SIT) provides a potent stimulus for improving maximal aerobic capacity ([Formula: see text]), which is among the strongest markers for future cardiovascular health and premature mortality. Cycling-based SIT protocol...

Altering Pace Control and Pace Regulation: Attentional Focus Effects during Running (2016)
Journal Article
Brick, N. E., Campbell, M. J., Metcalfe, R. S., Mair, J., & MacIntyre, T. E. (2016). Altering Pace Control and Pace Regulation: Attentional Focus Effects during Running. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 48(5), 879-886. https://doi.org/10.1249/

Purpose: To date there are no published studies directly comparing self-controlled and externally-controlled pace endurance tasks. However, previous research suggests pace control may impact on cognitive strategy use and effort perceptions. The prima...

Personalised Prescription of Scalable High Intensity Interval Training to Inactive Female Adults of Different Ages (2016)
Journal Article
Mair, J. L., Nevill, A. M., De Vito, G., & Boreham, C. A. (2016). Personalised Prescription of Scalable High Intensity Interval Training to Inactive Female Adults of Different Ages. PLOS ONE, 11(2), Article e0148702. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0

Stepping is a convenient form of scalable high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that may lead to health benefits. However, the accurate personalised prescription of stepping is hampered by a lack of evidence on optimal stepping cadences and step he...
