Twelfth Fuse Physical Activity Group Workshop
- Venue: Teesside University, The Curve, Middlesbrough, TS1 3BX
- Start: Tue, 02 Jul 2024 09:30:00 BST

In this workshop we will revisit physical activity inequalities, as voted for by our wider Fuse network. We will consider how novel methodological approaches and partnership working can support different ways of thinking about reducing physical activity inequalities.
Keynote Speaker: Professor Cindy Gray, Interdisciplinary Professor of Health and Behaviour, University of Glasgow
Professor Cindy Gray draws on both psychological and sociological theory to increase understanding of how to engage hard-to-reach groups in different settings and cultural backgrounds in sustained health behaviour change. She is interested in the potential of community organisations, such as professional sports clubs (e.g. football and rugby clubs), bingo clubs, and prisons, to deliver health behaviour change interventions that are attractive and acceptable to at-risk groups. Cindy is also interested in the integration of social scientific theory with developments in digital technologies (e.g., mobile phone apps) to promote sustained positive health behaviours.
