Tallying the global economic burden of physical inactivity2016-10-01T01:41:54-06:00Betty Leebetty.lee@ualberta.ca/news/authors/betty//news/229/
Understanding the economic burden of behavioural risk factors, such as physical inactivity in relation to other risk factors, is essential for prioritization of health efforts.
This article highlights an approach to understanding the economic burden of behavioural risk factors; shares new data about the global health and economic burden of physical inactivity and chronic disease; and provides a new insight for physical activity practitioners to explore and advocate for increased attention on physical inactivity as a major risk factor for chronic disease.

Repurposing our streets for physical activity: The Open Streets Model2016-08-01T02:14:25-06:00Betty Leebetty.lee@ualberta.ca/news/authors/betty//news/227/
From Bogota, Columbia, to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Open Streets provides communities with the opportunity to be active on the streets. Open Streets are free recreation programs that temporarily closes the streets to traffic and open them to people to walk, bike, and just be physically. People can engage with their local community and businesses, as well as learn more about community amenities and programs.
