    ProPASS is an international research collaboration platform of cohorts using thigh-worn accelerometry to explore the effects of physical activity, posture, and sleep patterns on a wide range of health outcomes. The objectives of the consortium are:

    to establish a pooled data resource on physical activity, posture allocation, sleep, and health outcomes;

    to develop methods for processing, harmonising, and pooling data of existing such studies;

    to develop methods for collecting data for future studies (prospective harmonization);

    The ultimate goal of the ProPASS consortium as a data resource is to promote collaborative individual participant and prospective meta-analyses on physical activity, posture, and sleep.

  • Today’s episode continues explorations of the complexities of athlete transitions within professional football. Career transitions often present a challenge to an athlete's identity and change their position in their relational networks. While career transitions have been an established topic in sport psychology, they are still underexplored from a sociological perspective, which informs our conversation today.

    Today's guest Dr. Darryn Stamp played professional football before transitioning his second career as an academic. He wrote his PhD thesis at the University of Hull with a focus on the contextual complexities of transitions through and out of professional football.

    Darryn is currently the Deputy Head of School for Health, Education and Sport at University Campus North Lincolnshire.
