The aims of the physical activity special interest group are to: 1) update SBM members on the latest developments and initiatives of relevance to the physical activity field; 2) provide a format for both formal and informal networking among SBM members with physical activity interests; and 3) serve as a forum for advancing the behavioral physical activity field, through developing submissions for the SBM conference, providing an avenue for mentoring junior investigators with physical activity interests, and identifying appropriate individuals interested in serving as reviewers for relevant scientific journals, NIH study sections, and SBM program submissions.
