The beliefs, behaviours and knowledge of health profession students towards the role of physical activity (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Stapleton, C. (2020, November). The beliefs, behaviours and knowledge of health profession students towards the role of physical activity. Presented at Virtual Physiotherapy UK 2020, Virtual (UK based)

Purpose: Physical inactivity is one of the leading causes of ill health worldwide. Despite updated UK physical activity (PA) guidelines (2011) PA levels remain low. Physiotherapists play an important role in promoting PA however studies investigating...
