In this brief review, we summarise high-level evidence regarding physical activity and mental health, both from a prevention and treatment view for clinical exercise professionals.

It was nice to see @lancetgh.bsky.social editors wrote an editorial in the issue of the journal featuring our article.

They committed to being "mindful of these expectations in all work that we evaluate".

The Lancet Psychiatry Commission marks a shift: from “why lifestyle interventions?” to “how do we deliver them fairly & sustainably in mental health care?” 🚴‍♀️🥦 Equity, Global South voices & lived experience are at the centre.

Great to see the results of my Master's trial published in Age & Ageing!

Our program was delivered through Facebook to older adults with lifestyle education, eHealth falls prevention (StandingTall) and tailored exercise prescribed by Exercise Physiologists.

Where does sport fit within mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS)?

When designed and delivered with intention, it can play a meaningful role across the entire system of support.

Proud to share our new publication in BJSM, which comes just after we celebrated 2,000 exercise sessions delivered through Addi Moves—a trauma-informed, community-based physical activity program co-designed with and for people experiencing social and economic disadvantage.

What’s the link between moving our bodies & meaning in life?

New scoping review of 34 studies (N=>100k) finds consistent, small, positive association in both directions. PA might help us make sense of life, and a sense of meaning might help us stay active.

Excellent meta-review of #exercise.
🔑 limitation reflecting common scepticism in #mentalhealthcare is summed up here:

“Most studies do not reflect real-world circumstances, with resources, staffing and less complex disorder severity of participants that are not representative for everyday contexts”

We synthesised the evidence here:
