Pinkerton, Tobin, Querfurth, Pena and Wilson (2017) Pinkerton, S., Tobin, J. L., Querfurth, S. C., Pena, I. M., & Wilson, K. S. (2017). “Those sweet, sweet likes”: Sharing physical activity over social network sites. Computers in Human Behavior, 59(Supplement C), 128–135. doi:10.1016/j.chb.2016.12.028[Crossref], , [Google Scholar] analyzed the natural interactions between the use of social networking sites and physical activity. With the growing influence that social media has on our lives, it is important to understand what role this plays in relation to health promotion and physical activity. What reasons do people have for sharing or not sharing information about their physical activity, and how do people respond to postings by others?
