Going on walks, going up stairs, working around the home: One meta-study shows how everyday movements are linked to our mood.
Movement is good for us, as we all know. But many people do not engage in enough physical activity in their daily lives. Because knowledge of the positive effects of movement is clearly not sufficient to induce changes in behavior, science is increasingly focusing on mood and emotional factors. Researchers at RuhrUniversity Bochum, Germany, Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS), Austria, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, and the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim (ZI), Germany, have analyzed data sets from over 8,000 individuals to determine how physical activity is linked to good moods and positive emotions. They found that most people feel better when they move throughout the day. At the same time, people are more physically active when they are in a better mood. The results are published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour from May 6, 2026.
Smartphones and other devices measure movement throughout the day
"It has long been known that physical activity has a positive effect on well-being, but we used to only have evidence of this from lab and cross-sectional studies," says Professor Markus Reichert (PLUS, Ruhr University Bochum, ZI), who coordinated the project. He says that, for several years now, the correlation is also being examined in studies that monitor physical activity and well-being under natural, everyday conditions. This is possible with smartphones and similar systems. Routine activities like going on walks, going up the stairs, and housework can thus be assessed. It is also possible to differentiate between correlations within one individual ("I feel better when I move more") and among multiple individuals ("I feel better than other people when I move more than they do").
However, Reichert adds that the results from the studies are unclear and sometimes even contradictory. "It was important that we summarize the findings, also to be able to estimate the scope of the correlations for different aspects of affective well-being like positive and negative affect, energy, and calmness, and potentially identify differences between individuals," explains Johanna Rehder (Ruhr University Bochum, PLUS, ZI), PhD student and first author of the publication.
Good feelings before and after physical activity
"This synthesis of a large quantity of research data from everyday life required innovative and complex meta-analysis techniques," adds Dr. Julian Packheiser (Ruhr University Bochum). These analyses conducted by the core research group - which also includes Dr. Marco Giurgiu, Dr. Irina Timm (both KIT), and Dr. Gesa Berretz (Ruhr University Bochum and Radboud University) - revealed that affective well-being in general exhibits a positive correlation with preceding and subsequent physical activity. Only calmness showed a negative correlation with physical activity. This means that individuals were less calm before or after physical activity than they were when they were stationary.
Persons with low well-being benefit in particular
The analyses also revealed that the correlations between physical activity and affective well-being differ strongly between individuals. While the majority of the subjects exhibited a better mood when engaging in physical activity, some showed a decreased mood before or after physical activity. The results for energy as a form of affective well-being were the most consistent: Over 95 percent of the subjects felt more energetic before or after physical activity.
"Our study also shows that persons with low well-being benefit in particular from physical activity," says Onur Gunturkun (Ruhr University Bochum), which underlines the potential of everyday movement for mentally vulnerable groups. "Now our job for the coming years is to identify additional personal and contextual factors that can explain the differences in the correlations," says Reichert. The data also does not present a causality of the correlations. These must be evaluated, such as through interventional studies of persons' everyday lives. Only then can the full potential of the connections between physical activity and affective well-being be used for health-promoting interventions in care.

LONDON, England, June 1 (TNSjou) -- The University College London posted the following news:

Weight loss drugs risk widening health inequalities
Drugs such as semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are transforming obesity treatment, but without affordable, healthy food and appropriate support, they could widen health inequalities in the UK, according to researchers at UCL and the University of Cambridge.
In a correspondence published in Nature Medicine, the researchers argue that while incretin-based therapies, also known as weight loss medications, have transformedobesity treatment, their long-term benefits may depend on factors beyond the medications themselves.
Access to nutrition advice, healthy food, and ongoing healthcare support are all likely to shape whether patients can use the drugs safely and maintain health improvements over time, the team argues.
Senior author Dr Adrian Brown (UCL Medicine) said: "We have highlighted that obesity treatment is not just a medical issue, but a social and structural one. Without integrated dietary support and attention to food affordability, these medications could deepen existing health inequalities.
"The key message is clear: these treatments are powerful, but their long-term public health impact will depend on whether the right support systems are in place to ensure equitable and safe access for all patients."
The authors warn that healthier diets are often more expensive, creating additional barriers for people already facing food insecurity or financial hardship.
According to a study by UCL researchers in January 2026, an estimated 1.6 million adults in England, Wales and Scotland used drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro to help lose weight between early 2024 and early 2025. An additional 3.3 million people said they would be interested in using weight loss drugs over the next year. Mounjaro (containing tirzepatide) typically costs pound sterling200 a month so is unaffordable for many.
Lead author Dr Marie Spreckley (University of Cambridge) said: "The key question is not simply who can access these medications, but who can benefit from them in the long term. If access to healthy food, nutrition support and ongoing care is uneven, there is a risk that the benefits of these treatments will also be uneven."
Researchers underline the danger of a growing "two-tier system" in obesity treatment, where some people can access medication alongside comprehensive support and continuity of care, while others face significant barriers to both.
Dr Spreckley continues: "If we want these therapies to reduce health inequalities rather than widen them, equitable access to support must be considered alongside equitable access to medication."
Patients living in more deprived areas often face greater barriers to healthcare and healthy food access, while also experiencing a higher burden of obesity-related illness.
Large clinical trials have shown that incretin-based therapies can produce substantial and sustained weight loss alongside improvements in metabolic health. However, the correspondence warns that outcomes in everyday life may differ significantly depending on a patient's social and economic circumstances.
Medications commonly reduce appetite and food intake and can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and early satiety. Without appropriate dietary guidance and monitoring, reduced food intake may increase the risk of poor dietary quality, inadequate nutrient intake and loss of lean body mass in some individuals.
Co-author, Dr Cara Ruggiero (Cambridge University) said: "Food insecurity remains a major reality in the UK effecting 12% of UK households. Healthier foods tend to cost more, and we cannot ignore this critical context.
"Guidance that assumes everyone can afford and access healthy food risks being unrealistic and inequitable. We need to make sure these treatments come with proper support, including nutrition advice and help accessing healthy food since food insecurity is shaping the health of patients before they ever reach the clinic."
The authors conclude, as the use of incretin-based therapies continues to grow, ensuring that all patients can access the support needed to use them safely and effectively will become an increasingly important public health priority.

First results from NHS-Galleri trial presented at international conference
Today (Saturday 30th May 2026), the first full results from the NHS-Galleri trial, a research study looking into the use of a blood test to see if it can help the NHS to detect cancer early, have been presented at the annual American Society for Clinical Oncology conference.
-
The trial, which aimed to see if using the Galleri multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood test alongside usual care can help to findcancer early, was coordinated by the Cancer Prevention Trials Unit (CPTU) at Queen Mary University of London.
More than 142,000 volunteers aged 50-77 from took part in the trial. Participants were recruited in just over 10 months, using innovative methods by colleagues in the CPTU, and other partners, including:
* addressing healthy volunteer bias using a data-driven recruitment algorithm that enabled greater recruitment from older and more deprived backgrounds
* using NHS DigiTrials (an NHS organisation that provides safe, authorised access to patient data to help trials reach and benefit as many people as possible), the first trial to do so since Covid
* utilising a call centre supported by interpreter services to ensure people from all communities could be involved, no matter the language they speak, ensuring a diverse population could participate in the trial
* taking the trial to people using a mobile clinic model in the heart of local communities, both urban and rural
The trial also introduced an innovative approach to delivering results to participants who had a positive blood test, with the CPTU developing a centralised nursing and participant navigator system to support communication and care. Where needed, participants were referred via a bespoke pathway into urgent suspected cancer pathways across more than 50 NHS trusts in England.
The NHS-Galleri trial was specifically testing whether adding a blood test to NHS screening could reduce the combined number of cancers diagnosed at a later stage (stage 3 or 4) over three years. While this primary endpoint was not met - comparing those who had the test with those who did not, there was no difference in the number of people diagnosed with late-stage cancer overall - the trial did show that substantially fewer of the most advanced cancers (stage IV) were diagnosed in people who had an annual MCED blood test.
As well as also showing that the blood test was accurate at screening for cancer and was safe, the trial showed a trend towards fewer late-stage cancers being diagnosed the second- and third-time people had the blood test, with a greater than 20% reduction in stage 4 cancers diagnosed in the second and third screening rounds. Just over half of participants with a positive Galleri MCED blood test result had cancer diagnosed - a remarkable level of accuracy considering that only 6% of people investigated for urgent suspected cancer by the NHS have cancer diagnosed.
Perhaps most encouragingly, results presented at the American Society for Clinical Oncology conference showed a 25% reduction in the number of cancers detected in an emergency situation, such as in A&E, among people who had the test.
Speaking on the results, Professor Peter Sasieni, who leads Queen Mary's CPTU and was co-investigator and lead statistician for the NHS-Galleri trial and analysing its results, said: "The results from the NHS-Galleri trial show that using a multi-cancer early detection blood test to supplement existing NHS screening can not only help diagnose some cancers earlier, but also help prevent diagnosis at a later stage, when treatment options are limited and can be less effective."
He added: "I am incredibly proud of the role that Queen Mary's Cancer Prevention Trials Unit, which is supported by Cancer Research UK, played in delivering this trial, one of the fastest recruiting trials in the last 50 years, to the highest ethical standards. I'm proud of the novel ways the team encouraged and supported inclusive participation from communities that are too often underrepresented in clinical trials. By being ambitious and collegiate, we can be more confident that any results from this trial are relevant to everyone."
Moving forwards, the researchers will continue to analyse the data from the trial over the coming months and years, with further results expected to be reported. In particular, Queen Mary has led sub-studies looking at the acceptability of this type of screening and the psychological impact of a positive test result; and with further follow-up the team will study the impact of annual screening with a multicancer test on cancer mortality rates. In addition, the NHS and other health organisations will review the results of the trial in detail to understand how this type of test could be used for cancer screening in the future.

HONG KONG, May 31 -- The University of Hong Kong issued the following news release:

HKU Chemists Unlock the Secret to Designing Ultra-Tough and Responsive "Smart" Materials
*
From household plastic packaging to the flexible frameworks that support wearable electronics, polymer materials form the invisible backbone of modern life. At a microscopic level, polymers consist of long, ribbon-like molecular chains that are entangled into a disorganised mass resembling a bowl of cooked noodles. For decades, these unpredictable molecular twists and knots have made it difficult for scientists tocontrol, map, or customise the behaviour of the final material.
A research team led by Professor Yufeng WANG and Professor Ho Yu AU-YEUNG from the Department of Chemistry at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has achieved a breakthrough to address this challenge. By using discrete molecular rings as precise structural models of polymer knots, the team untangled the complex relationship between molecular architecture and material properties, allowing them to correlate characteristics such as stiffness, strength, and elasticity with the specific structures and topologies of the molecular rings. Their findings were recently published in the prestigious Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
Tuning Materials with a "Metal Switch"
At the heart of this research is the discovery that the "hidden length" of the rings, a form of molecular slack within the material's structure that releases when pulled under force. Much like a seatbelt catching to absorb an impact or a spring snapping back into place, different molecular architectures respond to mechanical stress in very different ways, thereby altering how the final material behaves. By replacing the unstructured tangles in conventional polymers with molecular rings of precise structures, the researchers were able to observe how different architectures store and release energy. Simple macrocyclic rings, for instance, are highly flexible and harbour significant hidden length; when the material is subjected to stress, this internal slack unfurls to absorb the impact, resulting in exceptional toughness and durability.
In contrast, mechanically interlocked rings, known as catenanes, adopt a much more constrained and compact configuration. The team found that because these interlocked rings have less "slack" to unfurl, they behave like rapid-response springs. This creates a material with high elasticity, allowing it to snap back efficiently to its original shape after being stretched.
The team took the research a step further by demonstrating that these materials can be tuned on demand. By introducing copper ions to the molecular rings, the internal slack can be effectively locked in place to increase rigidity. This ability to manipulate structural rigidity enables a material's properties-such as stiffness and elasticity-to be dynamically altered in a controllable, responsive manner.
Paving the Way for Soft Robotics and Tissue Engineering
This discovery provides a blueprint for creating a new generation of "smart" materials with highly specialised functions. By identifying these distinct mechanical pathways, the HKU team has provided a new framework for guiding the design of new materials with specific properties.
Professor Ho Yu Au-Yeung from the HKU Department of Chemistry said the research helps scientists gain a deeper understanding of how entanglements at the molecular level influence material properties, opening up new possibilities for designing materials with specialised functions for different applications. "By choosing the right molecular 'knots' and controlling their 'hidden length', we are now able to design materials with specific functions tailored to different needs."
Professor Yufeng Wang from the HKU Department of Chemistry added that the findings could have important implications for fields such as soft robotics, tissue engineering and wearable electronics. "For example, soft robots require materials that are both flexible and strong; tissue engineering materials need to mimic the complex and dynamic movements of human muscles; while wearable electronic devices require both high durability and elasticity. This research provides scientists with a new framework for designing smart materials with specialised functions for different applications."
The research work is supported by a Collaborative Research Fund (C7075-21G) and General Research Fund (17313222) of the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong and CAS-HKU Joint Laboratory on New Materials (JLFS/P-701/24). First authors of the paper (Tianjin LUO, Yulin DENG and Mingda HU) are PhD students at the HKU Department of Chemistry.
