While reading a chapter on meta-analysis in a statistics textbook back in 1989, a “light bulb” went off in my head as it made perfect sense to me that with the proliferation of information in today’s world there would be a need to combine studies on the same topic in order to reach some general conclusions about the effect of X intervention on Y outcome. Coupled with my interest and training on the effects of physical activity on health-related disease, I have chosen to focus my career primarily, but not solely, on the use of the meta-analytic approach for the purpose of examining the effects of physical activity on health-related disease.
