Biography
David's previous research involved objectively measuring the effect of a school-based intervention on children's school travel behaviours and daily activity levels. Additionally, he has been involved in research into the metabolic parameters of walking among individuals with lower limb prostheses. His interests include the objective and subjective measurement of physical activity and investigating the validity and reliability of physical activity measures.
