Michelle Segar Is A Guest Blogger For Us

Michelle Segar wrote the book No Sweat, which is one of my favourite books written on increasing the number of people who exercise and she will be sharing her thoughts on motivation toward exercise over the next few weeks.  These are not to be missed blogs!

Michelle in the Director of The Sport, Health, and Activity Research and Policy Center (SHARP) that researches and creates real world solutions to our most pressing questions in public health and health care. Using a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that integrates motivational, organizational, cultural, and socio-political perspectives, SHARP studies the interconnections that influence health outcomes within families, schools, communities, and organizations.

SHARP’s translational and applied research is informing new practices and policies related to:

  • health care,
  • cultures of health,
  • sport participation, and
  • sustainable movement across the lifespan.

SHARP is a center within the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan, in frequent collaboration with the School of Kinesiology.
