This year in Phoenix we finally got to have an in person SIG meeting and we are so grateful that we got to meet many of our members! We look forward to meeting more of you next year!
At our meeting we had oral and poster presentations from our award winners, and a presentation by our SIG co-chairs about our group. Finally, we had breakout sessions for networking and brainstorming activities for next year (stay tuned).

Richard Tyler
Webinar, CAF SIG
Location: Edge Hill University, England, UK
Research interest:
My research focuses on the broad areas of 24-hour movement behaviours, motor competence, physical fitness, and physical literacy in children. In particular, I am interested in modifiable factors that may affect these areas and how these areas affect healthy growth and development. My current research includes validating a novel physical literacy questionnaire for its use in primary school aged children in England, investigating the current levels and potential inequalities in physical literacy in children, and understanding the associations physical literacy has with physical activity levels and various health outcomes.
