Parkrun Across the Pond
Mass participation events, such as ‘parkrun’, may be one option to encourage physical activity within communities. The purpose of the study was to describe the expansion of parkrun locations in Canada and the United States of America (USA) and identify and describe characteristics of parkrun locations.

This study examined whether injunctive norms from significant others undermine individuals’ auton…

This study tested whether self-efficacy mediated the influence of descriptive norms on PA intentions and behaviours, and whether the relationship between descriptive norms and self-ef…
