Also in July 2019, Tepi wrote in the Newcastle Herald about being more active in novel ways.
Tepi strives to translate his research to practice through effective knowledge translation using tools such as:
- Plain language summaries
- The Conversation
- Twitter
- ResearchGate (or Academia.org / Google Scholar) - open access
BACKGROUND
In 2017, Tepi completed his Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons) at Loughborough University and the University of Western Australia. In 2015, Tepi took a year out of study to complete a one year work placement in research, a Diploma of Professional Studies.
Tepi is very active on Twitter (@HealthTepi), get in contact!

Increasing population levels of physical activity (PA) can assist in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals, benefiting multiple sectors and contributing to global prosperity. Practices and policies to increase PA levels exist at the subnational, national, and international levels. In 2018, the World Health Organization launched the first Global Action Plan on Physical Activity (GAPPA). The GAPPA provides guidance through a framework of effective and feasible policy actions for increasing PA, and requires engagement and advocacy from a wide spectrum of stakeholders for successful implementation of the proposed actions. Early career professionals, including researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, can play a major role with helping ¿all people being regularly active¿ by contributing to 4 overarching areas: (1) generation¿of evidence, (2) dissemination¿of key messages and evidence, (3) implementation¿of the evidence-based actions proposed in the GAPPA, and (4) contributing to advocacy for robust national action plans on PA. The contribution of early career professionals can be achieved through 5 pathways: (1) research, (2) workplace/practice, (3) business, (4) policy, and (5) professional and public opinion. Recommendations of how early career professionals can contribute to the generation, dissemination, and implementation of the evidence and actions proposed by the GAPPA are provided.
