Abstract

Background
According to the Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis, anxiety and depression in children are associated with poor motor competence, and these associations may be mediated by social support and self-perceptions. Improving children’s motor competence through school-based physical activity interventions may therefore be a mechanism for promoting positive mental health through psychosocial factors. Co-production provides opportunities to participate in intervention development processes, thereby ensuring that specific needs of stakeholders are targeted. The shared stakeholder ownership of the process provides a context-sensitive basis for acceptable interventions with increased likelihood of them being effectively implemented and resulting in positive outcomes. This presentation describes phase 1 of the Move Well, Feel Good study, which aimed to co-produce and evaluate the feasibility of a primary school physical activity intervention to improve children’s motor competence and mental health.

Methods
Five primary schools were recruited from a low socioeconomic status community in northwest England. From these schools, stakeholder groups were formed consisting of class teachers, school leaders, physical activity specialists, and children (aged 8-9 years). Stakeholders worked in single and multiple stakeholder groups through a 6-stage process aligned to the Double Diamond Design Approach by employing divergent and convergent thinking processes to discover, define, develop, and deliver a solution to the ‘problems’ of how best to improve children’s motor competence and mental health, and how best to facilitate real-world school context implementation of the intervention. Through this process the child and adult stakeholders worked separately in workshops and engaged in additional learning and consensus activities. The adult stakeholder co-production workshops were informed by the children’s views and current research evidence. Multiple-stakeholder groups worked collaboratively to develop intervention ideas, which were presented, critiqued, and refined in alignment with the TIDieR checklist.

Results
In the final stage of the process the research team presented the final co-produced interventions back to the stakeholders and a consensus vote was taken to decide which intervention would be implemented in the phase 2 feasibility trial in September 2022.

Conclusions
School stakeholders’ participation in intervention co-production ensures their ownership of the finalised programme, which may be important for subsequent implementation and engagement.
S07-1 Does goal orientation relate to changes in sports club participation from adolescence to early adulthood?

Abstract

Background
Sports club participation begins to decrease in adolescence. There is a lack of knowledge, how sports club participation changes from adolescence to early adulthood in Finland, and how goal orientation influences on it. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine if goal orientation is associated to changes in sports club participation during afore mentioned critical years.

Methods
The study design is longitudinal. A sample of 366 (140 boys, 226 girls) adolescents were followed from age 15 (year 2014) to age 19 (year 2018). Sports club participation (yes/no) and goal orientation (no competitive goal, sports for hobby or physical development/regional, national or international success in adolescence/national, international or professional success in adulthood) were measured using questionnaires. In order to study changes in sports club participation, and goal orientation, descriptive statistics were performed. Gender differences were estimated using Chi-squared tests. A binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to examine the association between sports club participation, goal orientation and gender.

Results
By the age 19, 33% of boys and 43% of girls had dropped out from sports club, 45% of boys and 26% of girls had continued participation, and 21% of boys and 31% of girls never participated (p &gt; 0.01). More boys (57%) than girls (31%) had a success in adulthood as a goal, and more girls (48%) than boys (27%) had a success in adolescence as a goal (p &gt; 0.001). Adolescents with success in adulthood as a goal continued participation in sports club more likely than adolescents without competitive goal (OR = 4.81; 95% CI 2.26-10.23). Furthermore, boys were more likely to continue participation than girls (OR = 1.75; 95% CI 1.02-3.01).

Conclusions
The dropout from sports club activities from adolescence to early adulthood is obvious. Especially the adolescents without a competitive goal and girls are in danger to drop out. This indicates that contemporary forms of sports club activities support adolescents with strong competitive orientation. Therefore, there is a need for sports clubs to develop activities suitable for adolescents with less competitive orientation to ensure their continuous participation in sports club.
S07-2 Variability in physical activity levels in adolescent Gaelic football players across a competitive season
Authors: Gavin Kevin 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Gaelic football is the most popular team-based sport among Irish adolescents, yet research examining the physical activity (PA) levels attained during this sport is limited. Moreover, no research has examined the PA levels of participants across a competitive season, limiting the data collection to one, often undisclosed time point. Therefore, the aim of this study was to objectively measure changes in PA levels attained by adolescents during Gaelic football participation across two time points in a season and determine if these changes had an effect on the overall daily PA levels.

Methods
A total of 131 adolescents (67 male, 64 female; mean age 14.5 yrs.) were recruited from a convenience sample of three local clubs. Participants wore an activPAL3M accelerometer to determine total sitting/lying time, standing time, light intensity physical activity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during a seven-day measurement period, including Gaelic football participation. Physical activity measurement was completed at two separate time points, in line with the ?preseason? (round 1) and ?in-season? (round 2) periods of the Gaelic football calendar.

Results
Males accumulated significantly less time in MVPA during games in round 2 when compared to round 1 (round 1 = 36%; round 2 = 30%; p &gt; 0.05). In contrast, females accumulated significantly more time in MVPA during both practices (round 1 = 19%; round 2 = 26%; p &gt; 0.05) and games (round 1 = 27%; round 2=35%; p &gt; 0.05) during round 2. The average daily minutes spent in MVPA by males significantly decreased between the two time points (round 1 = 36.5±12.9min; round 2 = 30.8±13.5min; p &gt; 0.05), while daily MVPA in females significantly increased (round 1 = 26.3±8.9min; round 2 = 30.6±11.6min; p &gt; 0.05). No significant differences in daily MVPA levels were observed between the genders during round 2 (p &gt; 0.05).

Conclusion
The results demonstrate that the PA levels attained during Gaelic football participation change significantly across a competitive season. These changes may be a direct result of different coaching strategies implemented as the season progresses. The overall daily PA levels of the participants also changed significantly across the time points, resulting in males and females accumulating equal amounts of MVPA daily. This change in daily PA levels may be a consequence of the changes in PA levels attained during Gaelic football participation.

Abstract

Background
This review of reviews aims to summarize the evidence from published reviews on the effectiveness of mass-media campaigns to promote physical activity (PA), or PA-related determinants, and identify policy-relevant recommendations related to successful PA campaigns.

Methods
An extensive literature search was performed on March 1st, 2021. Reviews that evaluated the impact of campaigns on distal (e.g., PA) and/or proximal outcomes of PA (awareness, knowledge etc.) and that targeted the general population or subsets were included. Quality of reviews was assessed using the AMSTAR-2 tool. Policy-relevant recommendations were systematically derived and synthesized, and formulated as good practice statements. A protocol was registered beforehand (ID: CRD42021249184).

Results
A total of 1,915 studies were identified, of which 22 reviews were included. Results indicate that the most consistent evidence was found for the effectiveness of mass-media campaigns on proximal outcomes, while the evidence for distal outcomes was mixed. Good practice statements were derived: 1) to achieve behaviour change, mass-media is an important component of larger, multilevel, and multicomponent strategies, 2) mass-media strategies should be coordinated and aligned at local- and national-level, and be sustained, monitored and resourced at these levels, 3) media should be tailored to reduce socioeconomic inequalities.

Conclusions
Mass-media can play an important role in the promotion of PA. In general, evidence was more inconsistent for effectiveness on distal outcomes than for proximal outcomes. The policy-relevant recommendations identified will serve to inform the PA environment policy index (PA-EPI), a tool for monitoring, evaluating and benchmarking government progress in implementing public policies.

Abstract

Background
Sport is recognised as a potential public health intervention through its influence on physical activity (PA) levels and consequent health benefits. International policy actors such as the Council of Europe, the World Health Organisation and the International Society for Physical Activity and Health have recommended that sport for all is promoted both for public health and as a basic right.
Purpose: This review aims to provide evidence to support the development of policies aimed at maximising the opportunity to participate in PA and sporting activity.

Methods
We systematically searched six electronic databases for quantitative, qualitative, and review studies investigating how public sport policy affects PA and sport participation outcomes”. The scientific literature was screened according to predetermined eligibility criteria. Following study selection and data extraction, the quality was assessed using modified versions of existing quality assessment tools. Results were synthesised narratively.

Results
Database searches identified 3705 unique articles. A total of 93 full-text articles were assessed, with 31 meeting our inclusion criteria. Fourteen unique policy actions were identified and were categorised into the policy areas Build Sport Facilities, Reduce Financial Barriers, Build Capacity and Establish Partnerships with Sport Sector, and Promote Public Interest in Sports.

Conclusions
Policy actions to promote physical activity and sport participation have demonstrated qualified success but there is limited evidence of success in reaching hard to reach groups. Therefore, policymakers utilising sport to increase physical activity should treat it as a complementary intervention alongside other policy actions based on a systems perspective.
S09-4 The development of the Physical Activity Environment Policy Index (PA-EPI): a tool for monitoring and benchmarking government policies and actions to improve physical activity

Abstract

Background
Insufficient physical activity (PA) is a global issue for health. A multifaceted response, including government action, is essential to improve population levels of PA. The purpose of this study was to develop the ‘Physical Activity Environment Policy Index’ (PA-EPI) monitoring framework to assess government policies and actions for creating a healthy PA environment.

Methods
An iterative process was undertaken. This involved a review of policy documents from authoritative organisations, a policy audit of four European countries, and systematic reviews of scientific literature. This was followed by an online consultation with academic experts (N = 101; 20 countries, 72% response rate), and policymakers (N = 40, 4 EU countries). During this process, consensus workshops where quantitative and qualitative data alongside theoretical and pragmatic considerations were used to inform PA-EPI development.

Results
The PA-EPI is conceptualised as a two-component ‘policy’ and ‘infrastructure support’ framework. The two components comprise eight policy and seven infrastructure support domains. The policy domains are education, transport, urban design, healthcare, public education (including mass media), sport-for-all, workplaces and community. The infrastructure support domains are leadership, governance, monitoring and intelligence, funding and resources, platforms for interaction, workforce development, and health-in-all-policies. Forty-five ‘good practice statements’ (GPS) or indicators of ideal good practice within each domain concludes the PA-EPI. A potential eight-step process for conducting the PA-EPI is described.

Conclusions
Once pre-tested and piloted in several countries of various sizes and income levels, the PA-EPI GPS will evolve into benchmarks established by governments at the forefront of creating and implementing policies to address inactivity.
S10-2 Instruments for the analysis of national-level physical activity and sedentary behaviour policies: a systematic review
Authors: Pedišić Željko 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Researchers and policy makers have developed and used a variety of instruments to assess physical activity policies. Data on the available instruments and their properties have never been summarised in a systematic way. In this review we, therefore, aimed to identify and critically assess available instruments for the analysis of national-level physical activity and sedentary behaviour policies and provide recommendations for their future use.

Methods
A systematic search of grey and academic literature was conducted in Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, and Open Access Theses and Dissertations, on the websites of three large international organisations for physical activity promotion, and using Google. The Comprehensive Analysis of Policy on Physical Activity (CAPPA) framework was used to assess and classify the instruments, based on their purpose, the policy sectors and scope of analysis they cover, and the policy types and stages of policy cycle they inquire about.

Results
Among a total of 22,071 screened references, we found 26 publications describing 16 instruments that met the inclusion criteria. All the available instruments are intended for analysing some aspects of physical activity policy. Only two instruments include questions about sedentary behaviour policy. None of the instruments can be used to analyse all the relevant policy components. Only a few instruments refer to the agenda-setting and endorsement/legitimisation stages, the effects of policy, and the research and tourism sectors. The termination and succession stages of the policy cycle and unwritten formal statements and informal policies were not addressed by any of the available instruments.

Conclusion
Our findings indicated there is a need to design new instruments or adapt the existing ones to facilitate a more comprehensive analysis of national physical activity and sedentary behaviour policy. It would be extremely time-consuming to analyse all important components of physical activity and sedentary behaviour policy in a single analysis; hence the development of complementary instruments, where each one of them inquires about a specific policy component, might be a way forward.
S11-3 Implementation of Community-Based Physical Activity Promotion Focusing on Individuals with Social Disadvantages, Developed Using a Participatory Approach
Authors: Semrau Jana 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Recently, the German Federal Ministry of Health has provided funding aimed at the sustainable implementation of the National Recommendations for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion in German municipalities. This presentation reports on an ongoing project that employs a participatory action model for population-based physical activity (PA) promotion in these municipalities and gives insights into real-world experiences made during project implementation.

Methods
Using a participatory approach, an action model for PA promotion was developed in collaboration with 64 nationwide stakeholders (Phase I). Based on systematic criteria and in cooperation with the Federal Centre for Health Education (BzGA) and the German Statutory Health Insurance (GKV), three rural districts and three cities were then selected as pilot municipalities. In phase II, the action model was implemented in these six communities. Implementation steps included (1) preparation, (2) assessment, and (3) setting up a steering committee and a cooperative planning group in all communities. The entire process was closely coordinated with local administrations. Currently, cocreated measures adapted to local needs are being (4) developed and (5) implemented, with a particular focus on improving access to the development and usage of these measures for people with social disadvantages.

Results
Preliminary results indicate that steps (1) to (3) have been successfully implemented in all pilot municipalities. ‘Champions’ (persons committed to the local project) were found to be particularly important for each step. The involvement of political stakeholders (n = 2-13), experts (n = 2-12), representatives from the administration (n = 8-25), multipliers (n = 5-16), and citizens (n = 0-4) in the cooperative planning process varied across pilot municipalities. Participants from the administration represented different sectors (e.g. city planning, sports, health administration). Preliminary results show that a broad range of measures was developed to promote personal skills, infrastructures, policy actions, and community action for PA.

Conclusions
The action model proved suitable to promote PA in the pilot municipalities. In all six cases, adaptations had to be made to accommodate the intervention to the respective community-specific context. Our results indicate that involving individuals from a socially disadvantaged background remains a particular challenge of participatory PA promotion.
S11-5 Extending co-creation in physical activity and health promotion: The Practice Dive approach
Authors: Popp Johanna 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in co-creation approaches in physical activity (PA) and health promotion. Co-creation involves researchers ?moving beyond the ivory tower? by collaborating with policymakers and practitioners to conjointly develop interventions, e.g. using a Cooperative Planning approach. In addition to the frequently reported benefits of cocreation, there is a growing number of critical voices that highlight the associated challenges, e.g. differing interests and perspectives that inhibit interaction. So far, research has not identified concrete solutions to these problems. This presentation introduces the Practice Dive approach as a potential way of improving cooperation between researchers and practitioners.

Methods
We observed and systematically described a real-life phenomenon in a German research project, which saw project researchers actively moving into practice to familiarize themselves with the setting and the target group (ranging, e.g., from guided factory tours in a manufacturing plant to working at the assembly line for a limited time). We conducted a literature search on similar and related phenomena in co-creational processes and subsequently developed on our observations and findings into a comprehensive concept.

Results
The Practice Dive approach assumes that a significant contribution to a better cooperation between co-creators is the immersion of researchers in the living/working environment of the target group at the beginning of a co-creation process. A stage model can be used to characterize the type and intensity of exchange within the setting and with the target group. Several requirements can be outlined for a successful Practice Dive on the side of the involved co-creators and the setting, including openness and communication skills. Regarding potential effects, different beneficial effects for both researchers and the practitioners can be hypothesized at both the knowledge and the socioemotional level (e.g. familiarity with contextual structures, perceived flatter hierarchies).

Conclusions
The Practice Dive approach has the potential to strengthen the cooperation between research and practice in the field of PA and health promotion and may thus improve the effectiveness of co-creation approaches such as Cooperative Planning. Future research should be aimed at empirically validating the concept and its postulated effects.
