We challenge ideas of movement = health & inactivity = harm.

Instead, we explore how purposeful stillness & rest alongside #physicalactivity are vital to human flourishing.

Interested in physical activity? And in making the world a better place?
Here are links to 3 articles with some hopeful ideas for the future: physicalactivitypolitics.com/2025/07/17/t...

What an excellent call to action ... "to develop politically informed action on PA." Bravo Tepi and colleagues.

I believe traditional scholarship (which is important of course) can be transcended in favour of creative, challenging and disruptive work.

So I've had a go at a Starter Pack thing to see if @nanettemutrie.bsky.social and I can find more #physicalactivity friends who have made the jump across.
