1.
Get BusActive!: Protocol of a single-blinded randomised controlled trial incentivising public transport use for physical activity gain among young people and adults
Sharman M, Stanesby O, Jose K, Greaves S, Timperio A, Reid E, et al.
Contemp Clin Trials Commun . 2024 Sep; 42:101367. PMID: 39319319
Background: Population level physical activity generally does not meet recommended targets. Compared with private motor vehicle users, public transport users tend to be more physically active and financial incentives may...
2.
Is public transport a promising strategy for increasing physical activity? Evidence from a study of objectively measured public transport use and physical activity
Evans J, Stanesby O, Blizzard L, Greaves S, Timperio A, Jose K, et al.
Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act . 2024 Aug; 21(1):91. PMID: 39160546
Background: Greater public transport use has been linked to higher physical activity levels. However, neither the amount of physical activity associated with each daily public transport trip performed, nor the...

Free bus fares, bus use and physical activity: An exploratory cross-sectional study
Sharman M, Stanesby O, Jose K, Greaves S, Cleland V
Health Promot J Austr . 2024 May; 36(1):e881. PMID: 38812377
Issue Addressed: Public transport (PT) users often accumulate more physical activity (PA) than private motor vehicle users and financial incentives may increase PT use. Responding to rising petrol prices, from...

trips4health: a single-blinded randomised controlled trial incentivising adult public transport use for physical activity gain
Evans J, Stanesby O, Blizzard L, Jose K, Sharman M, Ball K, et al.
Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act . 2023 Aug; 20(1):98. PMID: 37587424
Background: Public transport users tend to accumulate more physical activity than non-users; however, whether physical activity is increased by financially incentivising public transport use is unknown. The trips4health study aimed...

The importance of family support to engage and retain girls in male dominated action sports. A qualitative study of young people's perspectives
Sharman M, Nash M, Moore R, Waddingham S, Oakley A, Langenberg H, et al.
Health Promot J Austr . 2023 Jul; 35(2):410-422. PMID: 37403457
Issue Addressed: Social support is positively correlated with physical activity (PA), especially amongst girls, but is underexplored in male-dominated action sports (e.g., mountain biking, skateboarding and surfing). This study explored...
6.
Is greater public transport use associated with higher levels of physical activity in a regional setting? Findings from a pilot study
Ragaini B, Sharman M, Lyth A, Jose K, Blizzard L, Peterson C, et al.
Pilot Feasibility Stud . 2021 Dec; 7(1):217. PMID: 34893076
Background: Public transport users often accumulate more physical activity than motor vehicle users, but most studies have been conducted in large metropolitan areas with multiple public transport options with limited...
7.
Childhood factors related to diverging body mass index trajectories from childhood into mid-adulthood: A mixed methods study
Sharman M, Jose K, Tian J, Venn A, Canary J, Banks S, et al.
Soc Sci Med . 2021 Jan; 270:113460. PMID: 33485714
Body mass index (BMI) trajectories that improve over the lifecourse result in better cardiometabolic profiles, but only a small proportion of children of an unhealthy weight show improving BMI trajectories....

Cluster patterns of behavioural risk factors among children: Longitudinal associations with adult cardio-metabolic risk factors
Patterson K, Ferrar K, Gall S, Venn A, Blizzard L, Dwyer T, et al.
Prev Med . 2019 Oct; 130:105861. PMID: 31654729
Much of what is known about childhood clusters of cardiovascular disease behavioural risk factors (RFs) comes from cross-sectional studies, providing little insight into the long-term health impacts of different behavioural...
9.
Acceptability and perceived feasibility of strategies to increase public transport use for physical activity gain - A mixed methods study
Sharman M, Lyth A, Jose K, Silva Ragaini B, Blizzard L, Johnston F, et al.
Health Promot J Austr . 2019 Sep; 31(3):504-517. PMID: 31483904
Issue Addressed: Public transport (PT) users typically accumulate more physical activity (PA) than motor vehicle users. This mixed methods study aimed to determine acceptability and perceived effectiveness of strategies to...

Longitudinal associations between TV viewing and BMI not explained by the 'mindless eating' or 'physical activity displacement' hypotheses among adults
Cleland V, Patterson K, Breslin M, Schmidt M, Dwyer T, Venn A
BMC Public Health . 2018 Jun; 18(1):797. PMID: 29940922
Background: The mechanisms explaining the positive relationship between television (TV) viewing and body mass index (BMI) are unclear. 'Mindless eating' and 'physical activity displacement' theories have been suggested, but have...
