Each year, the Humboldt Centre of International Excellence at the University of Bayreuth (Bayreuth, Germany) sponsors travel for visiting scholars to conduct collaborative research with faculty at their institution. Dr. Danielle Arigo was selected as a recipient of the 2021 research travel grant, to support her work with Dr. Laura M. König. Their project, Reducing Measurement Reactivity in Physical Activity Research, will focus on identifying predictors of unusual increases in physical activity during the first few days of monitoring. These increases in response to wearing a physical activity monitor can meaningfully bias activity estimates and lead to incorrect conclusions about activity engagement. Understanding for whom and under what circumstances these increases occur will help to identify targets and best practices for improving the accuracy of physical activity measurement, particularly among sedentary adults who are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Dr. Arigo’s visit will include work on this project, as well as sharing her expertise via workshop presentations on this and related topics, which will be open to faculty and students at the University of Bayreuth.
