I am super excited to be co-leading DRIVEN, our new interdisciplinary research centre which has as its mission to help individuals, communities and organisations make sustained changes in behaviours that will help them achieve valuable outcomes
Yesterday, we launched our new research centre. We represent a diverse group of researchers working on various health behaviours (PA, nutrition, etc), health & behavioural economics, health care, business, education, engineering, data analytics & AI, health informatics.
New paper: towards an empirical definition of VILPA (vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity):

During activities of daily living, VILPA elicited a physiological response (%V̇O2max & %HRmax) at 77-83 sec, and 45 sec for perceived exertion.
We are excited to announce that our co-director @ecthogersen has successfully obtained a research grant of about 7 million kroner (940k Euros) from @trygfonden . The 3 1/2 years project will investigate whether ballroom dancing can be used as an effective intervention...
We invite applications for a 3-year postdoc position in physical activity behaviour change to be filled in the period January 6, 2025 to January 5, 2028.

Do behavioural change strategies work? 🤔Are health apps appropriate for people's needs? 🤷♀️
We answered these questions with @a_bricca in the new episode of our Podcast, The DRIBEN Lab.
