Got a #JournoRequest? Need an expert opinion? Looking for a consultant?

If you're looking for an expert who knows the facts about the benefits and challenges of getting people to be more physically active, and how technology can help people to sit less and move more, you're in the right place. Use the search box to find someone who knows about the particular topic you're interested in, or you can select tags to filter results and find people who can help you. They're all experts in their field, media trained, great communicators, and they're ready and willing to share their specialist knowledge and expertise with journalists, media researchers and other professionals in need of an informed opinion from someone who really knows what they're talking about.
