Justin Richards

Justin Richards' research focuses on physical activity and public health, especially how physical activity affects mental health, wellbeing, and child and adolescent development across diverse populations internationally. His work spans measurement tools for physical activity, policy analysis (such as active transportation during COVID-19), and intervention studies in varied cultural contexts including Aotearoa New Zealand, Nepal, and low- and middle-income countries. Much of this work involves large-scale surveys, systematic reviews, and cross-country validation studies rather than laboratory-based research.

Publication output has declined over the past decade, from around 21 papers in 2017 to a more modest average of about 8 per year over the last five years.
