O.4.3-7 Mothers’ experiences of supporting their daughter to be physically active: a qualitative analysis
Authors: Brennan Carol , Donoghue Grainne O' , Keogh Alison , Rhodes Ryan E , Matthews James 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Girls are more at risk of non-communicable diseases associated with insufficient levels of physical activity (PA). Maternal support plays an important role in girl’s PA. Yet little is known about how mothers provide support to keep their daughters active. The aim of this study was to explore mothers’ experiences of supporting their daughter to be physically active.

Methods
A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted with a purposive sample of mothers (n = 29) of girls (Mean age =10.9 years; SD = 0.6). Reflexive Thematic Analysis was used to analyse the data, with themes/subthemes mapped to the relevant domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).

Results
Most mothers recognised the importance of supporting their daughter to be active. Themes highlighted how a mother’s identity and confidence in supporting their daughter to be active influenced supportive behaviours. Social interactions played an important role in facilitating or inhibiting how a mother supports her daughter. The circumstances of a mother’s environment and her perceptions of her daughter’s attitudes towards PA influenced the type of support mothers provided.

Conclusion
The findings advance our understanding of maternal PA support behaviours which will inform strategies to enhance maternal PA support with the ultimate goal of improving girls’ participation in PA. Future research should explore the appropriate behaviour change techniques for maternal PA support and involve mothers in the co-design process to develop interventions that are more feasible, acceptable and implementable.
O.4.3-8 Associations of subjective social status with physical activity and sedentary time among lower secondary school students
Authors: Rajala Katja 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
The low level of physical activity among young people has become a common societal concern. This study sought new information on the background to adolescents’ physical activity. The aim was to determine whether adolescents’ subjective social status is related to their physical activity.

Methods
The data was collected as part of follow-up research and evaluation of the Finnish Schools on the Move programme in 2012–2015. The data was collected through student surveys, measuring adolescents’ physical activity with accelerometers, and observing and interviewing secondary school students. The associations between adolescents’ subjective social status and physical activity, as well as the factors related to the subjective social status were studied using both quantitative and qualitative methods.

Results
Adolescents’ subjective social status was associated with physical activity. The subjective social status in school was positively associated with whole-day moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity. Adolescents’ high perceived social status in school was significantly associated with physical activity among boys and girls during break times, participation in planning break-time activities among girls, and participation in arranging common school events among boys and girls. Subjective social status in school was negatively associated with sedentary time in school. A high subjective social status in school was also associated with more opportunities for activity created with schoolmates. A high subjective social status was also associated with a wider environment for physical activities in school, which were related to the interactive relationships between adolescents. There were school premises that not everyone had access to, and one limiting factor may be the low subjective social status in school.

Conclusions
The different subjective experiences of school-based social networks are linked to adolescents’ physical activity and should be taken into account when considering the possibilities of increasing adolescents’ physical activity. Although the foundation of an active lifestyle is largely built on one’s own family, the school still has the potential to compensate for differences in family background with its own actions. These interventions should place greater emphasis on peer relations and youth participation rather than the role of school staff.

O.4.4-1 Moving messages: development of the physical activity messaging framework and checklist
Authors: Williamson Chloë , Kelly Paul , Baker Graham 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Physical activity (PA) messaging is an important step in the pathway towards improving population PA levels, but best practice is not yet understood. A gap in the literature existed for a PA messaging framework to help guide creation and evaluation of messages. This study aimed to further develop and improve, and gain international expert consensus on, a Physical Activity Messaging Framework and Checklist.

Methods
A modified Delphi study consisting of three online survey rounds was conducted. A preliminary version of the framework and checklist developed using findings from a scoping review of PA messaging were used as a starting point for this study. Each survey gathered feedback from an international expert panel using quantitative and qualitative methods. The framework and checklist were amended each round based on survey results until consensus (defined a priori as 80% agreement) was reached.

Results
The final expert panel (n = 40, 55% female) came from nine countries and comprised academics (55%), healthcare and other professionals (22.5%) and government officials or policymakers (22.5%). Consensus was reached in survey 3 with 85% and 87.5% agreement on the framework and checklist, respectively. The Physical Activity Messaging Framework (PAMF) and Checklist (PAMC) comprise several PA messaging concepts organised into three overarching sections: (1) who, when, what, how and why, (2) message content, and (3) message format and delivery.

Conclusion
This study presents an expert- and evidence-informed framework and checklist for physical activity messaging. The PAMF and PAMC can be used to create physical activity messages, plan evaluation of messages, and aid understanding and categorisation of existing messages. The PAMF and PAMC may improve practice by encouraging development of evidence-based and target audience-focused messages, as well as enhance the research base on physical activity messaging by harmonising key terminologies and improving quality of reporting.

O.4.4-7 Motives and Barriers for Leisure Time Physical Activity among rural mothers with young children
Authors: Eizagirre-Sagastibeltza Olaia , Fernandez-Lasa Uxue , Usabiaga Oidui 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
The aim of this study was to analyse the motives and barriers for mothers with young children in rural areas to engage in leisure time physical activity (LTPA), based on the following research question: What LTPA needs and interests do mothers with young children living in rural areas of Gipuzkoa have?

Methods
Four focus groups were conducted in 4 different rural districts of Gipuzkoa, in which 19 women with at least one child under 9 years of age participated. The transcripts were analysed inductively by reading them repeatedly and then organised through triangulation by the researchers from a socio-ecological perspective.

Results
Regarding intrapersonal factors, because of work and informal caregiving duties, they had no time nor energy for LTPA. They felt the need to take time for themselves but put their own needs on the back burner, giving priority to the needs of their children and caregiving tasks. Moreover, they did not like being physically active, nor did they like the fact that most of users of sports facilities were men.
Concerning interpersonal factors, they enjoyed doing LTPA with their friends. However, if their friends were also mothers, they found it difficult to coincide with each other. In addition, leaving their children with someone else so that they could do LTPA, made them feel guilty. Moreover, they liked the idea of doing LTPA with their family but when they put it into practice, it did not meet their personal needs.
With respect to environmental factors, deficiencies in the facilities for LTPA physical activity in their rural municipalities, distances to municipalities with sports facilities and rugged terrain were barriers to LTPA.

Conclusions
This study has helped to understand the LTPA interests and needs of the many mothers with young children living in rural areas of Gipuzkoa. These aspects are considered important to consider when developing LTPA promotion policies and may also be of interest for similar contexts.
Furthermore, these results may be important for enhancing women's well-being and quality of life through the promotion of LTPA, as well as struggling gender inequalities in leisure time for women.
O.4.4-8 Promoting men’s health through sports clubs: a rapid realist review

Abstract

Purpose
Traditional health promotion interventions have failed to engage men. Sports clubs offer male-friendly environments that have been identified as an attractive setting for men’s health promotion, but little is known about implementable intervention strategies and subsequent effects. This rapid realist review (RRR) aims to close this gap by assessing context, mechanisms and effects of health promotion interventions targeting men by or in collaboration with sports clubs.

Methods
The RRR methodology was developed in collaboration with a panel of Danish practice and policy representatives and international academics. A systematic literature search was conducted in February 2023 for studies published after 2013 in MEDLINE, Embase, and SportDiscus databases. Included studies: 1) targeted men aged 18+ years, 2) reported health promotion outcomes, and 3) were delivered primarily by or in collaboration with sports clubs. A grey literature search of National Sports Associations and Federations and non-government men’s health organizations was also performed. Dalkin’s conceptualization of mechanisms in realist methodology was used to identify context- mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOc) and develop a program theory. The study follows Cochrane’s guidance for rapid reviews and is registered in Research Registry (ID: reviewregistry1556).

Results
We identified 2.720 studies after duplicates removal. Preliminary analyses indicate that interventions delivered through sports clubs show promise for engaging men and producing favorable health outcomes (e.g., weight loss, increased physical activity and improved social support). The realist synthesis suggests that health interventions delivered through sports clubs (resource mechanism) targeted at men who have high attachment to the sport or club (context), may align with their interests and identities (mechanism), to increase the potential for engagement and health behavior change (outcome). The analysis will be finalised by August.

Conclusions
Our study indicates that men’s health promotion through sports clubs is emergent. While great strides have been made to increase men’s involvement in health promoting activities by delivering interventions through sports clubs, research has predominantly focused on select behaviours (e.g., physical activity) and sub-groups (e.g., sports fans).

O.4.4-9 Organized sport and physical activity for older adults – salutogenic settings-based recommendations
Authors: Ericson Helena , Geidne Susanna 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Sport and physical activity is important to address healthy aging. There are recommendations on how much physical activity people should do, but no recommendations for how organizations should organize activities to suit as many as possible.
The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of sport and physical activity initiatives that older adults participate in. Different ongoing sport and physical activity initiatives that involve older adults were investigated regarding their focus, organization, intensity and organizer, and in relation to their costs, booking opportunities and recruitment.
The study was conducted with a cross-sectional design using the Salutogenic Physical Activity Health Resources Questionnaire (SPAHRQ). The study included 27 different initiatives with 372 participants (60% women) ranging from 60 to 96 years of age. A health-promoting, salutogenic, settings-based approach, and specifically the concepts drop-in, drop-through and drop-over (Geidne and Quennerstedt, 2021) were used in discussing recommendations for the organization of sport and physical activity for older adults.
The main findings were that who (sports clubs or senior associations) organizes the sport and physical activity initiative seems to affect the characteristics of how (for example intensity and characteristics of the activities) it is organized and what characterizes the participants in it. Despite the differing characters of sport and physical activity initiatives, the majority of older adults are recruited by internal contacts like friends and family. The lowest costs are found in senior associations, leisure-focused initiatives, individual initiatives, and low-intensity activities.
In senior associations, most activities were booked per semester 60%. In sport clubs the most common booking system was per occasion, 40%.
In team sports (almost always in sport clubs), the most common way of booking was per semester (46%). Which older adults participate in which initiatives is explained mostly by the age and gender of the participants.
In conclusion, to attract as many older adults as possible, organizations should work with lowering the thresholds into, as well as within and between, organizations, and raise the threshold for dropping out of sports and physical activity.

O.4.4-11 Must we tell people to be less active to save the planet? The dilemma of physical activity promotion from a holistic health perspective
Authors: Gelius Peter , Till Maike , Messing Sven , Tcymbal Antonina , Abu-Omar Karim 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
The emerging climate crisis poses major challenges for the planet and leaves us to critically reconsider our physical activity (PA) behavior and its potentially negative effects on the environment and climate. Until now, both PA guidelines for individuals and PA promotion policies follow a logic of “more is better”. We argue that this is because PA promotion is still largely based on an individualistic concept of health, while broader concepts such as Global Health, One Health, and Planetary Health are largely ignored. We aim to provide some initial input and guidance on how PA promotion would have to change if it were based on the different concepts.

Methods
Using a qualitative analysis of relevant approaches, we developed a framework to distinguish three classes of health perspectives and their implications for PA promotion. We analyzed their current application in PA promotion and point out potential omissions and shortcomings.
The findings were used to critically review the pros and cons of a potential paradigm shift for PA promotion and its implications for the field.

Results
We identified a total of nine health perspectives, which can be categorized into three main classes ranging from narrow to a wide: 1) individual perspectives, 2) population perspectives and 3) holistic perspectives. While there are numerous types of PA for individuals to choose from to improve health from perspectives purely focused on the individual, broader perspectives increasingly limit the range of options: The more aspects (other people, foreign countries, animals, the global climate) are considered, the more physical activities may have to be considered as “unhealthy”. If such perspectives are accepted, this may have far-reaching implications for future PA recommendations, programs and policies.

Conclusions
Taking on more holistic health perspectives on PA promotion would have far-reaching implications for the field and leave research, policy and civil society with major challenges. In particular, this may imply a need to include animal and environmental health in new PA guidelines for individuals and public policy, and to work towards a “modal shift” towards promoting more environmentally and climate friendly forms of PA and sport.
O.4.5-4 What do young people want in a sport program: formative evaluation using Concept Mapping
Authors: Donaldson Alex , Staley Kiera , Randle Erica , Nicholson Matthew 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Engaging young people in sport and physical activity (PA) requires awareness of their preferences and priorities. This study provided less active young people (14–17 years of age) with an opportunity to articulate their perspective on an ideal sport program.

Methods
We used online concept mapping, involving qualitative data collection and quantitative data analysis. Forty-eight less active young people in regional Victoria, Australia brainstormed 65 relevant, unique and single-focus statements in response to the prompt: The features of a sport program that I would really like to participate in are…. Twenty-four participants then sorted these statements into groups based on similarity of meaning, and 37 participants rated each statement on 5 point Likert scales for its importance (1 = completely unimportant; 5 = very important) in a program and how common (1 = never; 5 = always) it is in the programs they participate in. We analysed sorting data using multi-dimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis, and rating data using descriptive statistics.

Results
We identified a map with the following nine clusters (in order of relative mean importance ratings)—access and convenience (mean importance rating = 4.11 out of 5; mean common rating 3.83 out of 5); social connection (3.98; 3.78); inclusion and belonging (3.98; 3.53); confidence (3.86; 3.46); design and structure (3.85; 3.65); skill development and goals (3.84; 3.60); cost and time (3.80; 3.30); age and gender (3.61; 3.41); and specific features (3.53; 3.25)—as the most appropriate representation of the participants’ sorting data. The two single statements—both in the inclusion and belonging cluster—rated most important were a sport program where you are accepted (4.57) and in which you do not feel judged (4.51).

Conclusions
Young people want affordable, accessible, convenient, safe, welcoming, socially engaging and inclusive sport and PA programs. They want programs to be well organised, delivered by experienced coaches with flexible content that builds their confidence, fitness and skills through challenging and fun activities. Youth sport and PA program designers can use this data to inform program development and delivery planning.

O.4.5-6 Psychosocial approach of dysfunctional eating attitude and behaviors in endurance sport: comparison of competitive and practice periods
Authors: Mériaux-Scoffier Stéphanie , Meignie Alice , Antero Juliana , Hanon Christine 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Most of the determinants of the dysfunctional eating attitude and behaviors (DEAB) mentioned so far have been reported in aesthetic sports or weight categories and may therefore not be representative of all endurance athletes. Moreover, to our knowledge, very few studies have focused on the evolutionary nature of these variables during a sports season. The objective of this research was to identify the triggers of the implementation of inappropriate behaviors for the health and performance of endurance athletes.

Methods
The sample consisted of 14 French female athletes aged 18 or over who practiced an endurance sport more than 12 hours a week for more than 5 years. All athletes were at the national or international level. For one year, participants answered online questionnaires through an Athlete Management System. They were followed daily on the sports period, weekly on self-regulation of eating attitude in sport, and self-perceptions and quarterly on psychosocial parameters related to DEAB.

Results
The ANOVA performed showed that anxiety levels were higher and resilience levels lower in athletes with DEAB compared to other athletes, and anxiety levels tended to increase during competitive periods only in athletes with DEAB. On the other hand, the level of resilience of athletes does not vary significantly depending on the period of competition or training. The analyses performed revealed also indicate dietary regulation behaviors and a higher level of internalization of slimming standards when athletes were in competition compared to training phases.

Conclusions
Although DEAB are an increasing concern in the sport context, the specificity of DEAB in athletes can represent a challenge for stakeholders. It seems necessary that stakeholders from all fields to have a precise knowledge of the personal characteristics related to sports practice that could favor the DEAB development, to be able to carry out an appropriate evaluation allowing subsequently to propose avenues of intervention adapted to the realities of them.

O.4.5-10 Self-control and self-efficacy positively influence physical activity levels
Authors: Herzog-Krzywoszanska Radoslawa , Potoczny Wiktor , Krzywoszanski Lukasz 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Physical activity is essential for maintaining good health and preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Understanding the factors that influence physical activity can help to design interventions that promote physical activity and prevent these diseases.The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-control, self-efficacy, and physical activity.

Methods
The study included 375 participants between the ages of 19 and 43 who completed the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and a physical activity inventory. A linear regression model was used to analyze the relationships between self-control and physical activity, with self-efficacy as a mediating variable.

Results
The analysis of the data showed that self-control positively correlated with the number of hours per week devoted to physical activity. The results also indicated that self-efficacy mediated this relationship. Specifically, higher levels of self-control were associated with higher levels of self-efficacy, which in turn were associated with higher levels of physical activity.

Conclusions
The findings of this study highlight the importance of both self-control and self-efficacy in promoting physical activity. Improving self-control and self-efficacy may be effective strategies for increasing physical activity levels.
