Wendy Brown is Professor of physical activity and health in the School of Human Movement Studies at the University of Queensland. Wendy's principal research interests are in the links between physical activity, weight and public health, the promotion of physical activity and healthy weight, and the measurement of population levels of physical activity and sedentary bahviours.  She has conducted physical activity intervention trials with many different population groups (eg. women from non-English speaking backgrounds, mothers of young children, GP patients, residents of retirement villages, people with arthritis and early-stage diabetes patients), as well as with entire communities (eg. '10,000 steps Rockhampton' and '10,000 steps Ghent').

Wendy was a founding member of the ALSWH research team in 1994 and has worked on a range of issues relating to health behaviours, iron deficiency and tiredness, menopause and incontinence.  Her major contribution has been to understanding physical activity, sitting time and weight gain, and their relationships with the development of chronic illness. Wendy has co-authored more than 70 publications on the ALSWH data.
