Sarah's research is centred around the design, implementation and evaluation of clinical interventions to increase physical activity and improve health.
About
Sarah Hardcastle is an Associate Professor in Physical Activity and Health within the Department of Sport and Physical Activity at 香蕉视频. Sarah has spent most of her academic career to date in the UK at the University of Brighton before taking up a research-focused position in 2014 within the School of Psychology at Curtin University in Western Australia. Sarah was appointed an Associate Professor at Dublin City University in 2019 before joining SHU in 2022. Sarah has published over 80 research papers in international peer reviewed journals. Sarah’s general area of research is the application of motivational theories and interventions to understand health behaviour change, particularly in relation to physical activity and lifestyle behaviours. In particular, Sarah is interested in the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions within health care and community settings. Her primary research interests are in identifying the psycho-social factors linked to physical activity and developing pragmatic and scalable interventions to promote health behaviour change. In particular, the promotion of physical activity to prevent or manage chronic illness and cardiovascular disease. She is currently leading a program of research in physical activity and cancer survivorship, including clinical trials to increase physical activity, reduce sedentary behaviour and improve health outcomes.
