Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Young people have the right to be informed and consulted about decisions affecting their lives. Youth Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) should be encouraged to ensure research is carried out ‘with' or ‘by' young people rather than ‘to', ‘about' or ‘for' them. PPI can ensure research is relevant, results are accessible and recruitment rates are improved. Young people have had limited involvement in the design, implementation and dissemination of public health research and there have been calls for a greater focus on youth PPI in research.

Methods
Following the WISH feasibility study that consulted young people pre and post-intervention, a Youth Advisory Group (YAG) was set up within the main trial. The WISH study is a clustered randomised controlled trial in which a peer-led, school-based, brisk walking intervention is compared to usual physical activity in adolescent females. The YAG was introduced to inform intervention delivery and provide researchers with an understanding of what would encourage/discourage participation. Schools were asked to invite pupils aged 12-14 years (participants) and 15-18 years (walk leaders). Participative methods were used to develop and review study documentation. The YAG completed a short questionnaire and recruitment rates were monitored.

Results
Fourteen pupils from 3 schools attended the 2019 YAG meeting. The YAG agreed the meeting was a good way of getting young people involved in research (93%) and attendees enjoyed the meeting (100%). As a result, changes were made to study documentation, incentives were purchased and recruitment materials developed. Participant recruitment was higher in schools who participated in the YAG (54%) compared to those who did not (47%). In 2021 the second YAG occurred and 1 teacher, 12 participants and 10 walk leaders from 2 schools provided feedback on the trials COVID-19 contingency plan. The girls felt their feedback was valued (100%) and it was important young people had the chance to contribute to research studies (100%).

Conclusions
The views of young people have been central to the development of the WISH Study and although youth PPI is not without challenges, there are many benefits for researchers, the study and the young people involved.
S07-3 The health promoting sports club model: intervention theory design
Authors: Johnson Stacey 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Sports clubs have been acknowledged as health promoting settings by researchers and policymakers. Limited research has linked the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to provide sports clubs a framework to develop health promotion interventions. As implementation science insists on the creation of theoretically grounded interventions, the objective of this work was to provide sports clubs an evidence-driven intervention framework to implement health promotion in sports clubs.

Methods
An iterative qualitative process in three steps was undertaken to accomplish the objective: (1) adaptation from the HPSC concept to create the HPSC model, (2) reformulation of published evidence-driven guidelines into implementable intervention components (ICs) and (3) merging of the model with the ICs to provide an evidence-based intervention framework for sports clubs. The research team first defined the various elements of the model and formulated ICs, then three groups (French sport students, French experts and Swedish experts) classified the ICs into the HPSC model. In order to retain classification, at least a 2 group agreement was required.

Results
To aid with theory selection, the research team drafted 5 indicators to consider sports clubs as a health promoting setting. Guided by these indicators, the theoretical ‘HPSC concept' was chosen as the basis to define and create the ‘HPSC model', which defines three sports club levels (club, directors, coaches) and four health determinants (organizational, social, environmental, economic) per level. Published guidelines from two literature reviews were used to develop 14 strategies with 55 intervention components. IC categorization by the three focus groups included: 79 classifications at the club level, 67 classifications at the director level and the coaching level retained 48 classifications.

Conclusions
The theoretical HPSC model and designed framework are a starting point to plan, select and deliver interventions to increase HP efforts by stakeholders in several ways: (1) clubs can apply strategies based on goals, (2) clubs can target specific levels with corresponding ICs or (3) ICs can be employed to affect particular determinants of health.
S08 Do results from physical activity questionnaires (IPAQ, GPAQ, EHIS and Eurobarometer) and accelerometer tell same story - results from 18 countries in the EUPASMOS project
Authors: Vasankari Tommi , Rocha Paulo , de Hollander Ellen 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) is associated with reduced risk of many noncommunicable diseases while a high volume of sedentary behavior (SB) is also considered to increase the risk of these diseases. Accurate measurement of both PA and SB is crucial for estimating these risk factors, and accelerometers together with standardized questionnaires are suggested a feasible way to measure these behaviors. However, collecting raw acceleration data of PA, SB and sleep in a standardized and similar way on a large scale has not been done before. In the European Union Physical Activity and Sport Monitoring System project (EUPASMOS), this has been done for the first time in 18 EU Member States.
S08-4 In terms of individual fitness, people with low cardiorespiratory fitness are physically the most active
Authors: Husu Pauliina 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Depending on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), people may perceive differently the exertion of incident physical activity (PA). It has been proposed to use thresholds relative to individual fitness in PA monitoring when it is feasible.

Methods
1952 adults (803 men, 1149 women), aged 20-69 years participated in the FinFit2017 (EUPASMOS) -study. Their VO2max was predicted with 6 min walking test and they had accelerometer wear time at least four days with minimum of 24 h/day during seven consecutive days of measurement period. The participants were divided into CRF thirds by age groups and sex. Acceleration data was analyzed in 6s epochs and intensity in MET (metabolic equivalent) values was calculated for each epoch. MET values were smoothed with 1min exponential moving average. The epoch activity was classified into moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) using both absolute (3.0MET) and individual (40% of the oxygen uptake reserve) thresholds. The accumulated MVPA time was calculated for bouts at least 0.1, 1.5, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 30.0 and 60.0 minutes. Population-weighted average of accumulated PA times in CRF-thirds and partial Spearman correlations controlled by age and sex between bout lengths and VO2max were calculated for both absolute and relative thresholds.

Results
Participants in the lowest CRF-third accumulated the most (p &gt; 0.05) MVPA time with relative threshold (22min (low); 15min (middle); 12min (high)) and the highest third (40min (low); 50min (middle); 56min (high)) with absolute threshold. The correlations were negative with individual thresholds, if short bouts were counted into accumulated time, and significant positive correlation (r = 0.048) was achieved only with at least 60.0min bouts. The correlations were significantly positive for all bout lengths with absolute thresholds and the highest correlation was achieved with at least 0.1min bouts (r = 0.295).

Conclusions
The lowest fitness third was the most active when the PA intensity was analyzed using relative thresholds. Their PA was mostly accumulated from short, few minute bouts. Thus, they had to utilize more of their aerobic capacity on daily basis just to keep up with their daily routines and the peers.
S10-3 The Global Observatory for Physical Activity-GoPA! Policy Inventory: Progress and methods
Authors: Varela Andrea Ramirez 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
In 2015, GoPA! was launched to monitor progress on Physical Activity (PA) surveillance, policy and research globally. In 2017, the GoPA! started developing a PA Policy Inventory to enable collecting comparable data on PA policy worldwide.

Methods
The instrument was developed in three stages. Stage-1: Critical assessment of the Policy Inventory version 1.0 was based on a review of other policy instruments/frameworks including: Health enhancing physical activity policy audit tool; the monitoring framework from the EU Recommendation on Health-Enhancing Physical Activity Across Sectors; and the Comprehensive Analysis of Policy on Physical Activity framework. Feedback from 14 GoPA! Country Contacts was received in 2017. Additional critical assessment was conducted from February to May 2019, and four PA policy experts drafted the Policy Inventory version 2.0. Stage-2: Open discussions about the Policy Inventory draft took place between May and August 2019 with seven policy experts. Based on the discussions, the draft questionnaire was revised three times to produce the GoPA! Policy Inventory version 2.0. Stage-3: Ten GoPA! Country Contacts provided their feedback on the Inventory version 2.0. The expert team from Stage 2 reviewed the suggestions and incorporated most of them into the GoPA! Policy Inventory version 3.0.

Results
The GoPA! Policy Inventory version 3.0 contains: (i) a consent form; (ii) three questions about the respondent; and (iii) 20 questions about physical activity and sedentary behaviour policy. It is available in two formats: (i) an online survey in Qualtrics software; and (ii) an interactive Word document. The instrument collects the information related to: (i) national PA plans/policies; (iii) PA policy implementation; (iv) national recommendations on PA; (v) health surveillance or monitoring system that includes measures of PA; (vi) ministries or departments in national governments with an active role in PA promotion; (vii) quantifiable national targets related to PA; and (viii) comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the overall national PA policy.

Conclusions
The instrument will be used to collect policy data for the 2020 GoPA! Country Cards to be launched at ISPAH2020 and, may further be used by PA researchers and policy analysts to monitor, audit, assess, and analyse national PA policies.
S11-1 The cooperative planning approach in health promotion: Theoretical foundation, theoretical classification and key elements
Authors: Gelius Peter 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Implementing effective physical activity (PA) interventions into routine practice is challenging once research funds run out, and only a minority of programs are successfully moved from research to practice settings and become embedded in a system. Participatory approaches are seen as a means to overcome this trap and sustainably implement and scale-up programs. This presentation provides methodological and methodological overview of the cooperative planning approach (CP), a participatory method increasingly used in PA promotion in the last years.

Methods
We reviewed the literature to trace the origins of the CP approach, outline its basic theoretical foundations, and summarize its central components and procedures. In addition, we compiled a structured overview of previous CP projects to highlight potential application contexts of the approach. Building on the results of a scoping review, we position the CP method within the body of existing participatory approaches based on Arnstein's ladder of participation.

Results
From a theoretical point of view, CP can be traced to the literature on knowledge co-creation and participatory research. It bears conceptual similarities with various organization-based planning methods. There are several distinctive characteristics that set it apart, including (a) the heterogeneity and expertise of participants, (b) a specific process sequence, (c) key success indicators, and (d) structured outputs. Variations of the approach have been successfully employed in sports development and physical activity promotion for target groups across the life-course. Positioning CP within the universe of existing approaches shows that it offers comparatively high levels of participation, is focused on later stages of the implementation process, and is well-suited to be combined with other methods of participation (e.g. citizen science).

Conclusions
The CP approach constitutes an alternative to existing knowledge co-creation and participatory approaches that may help overcome the problem of the pilot project trap. It can be easily adapted to different contexts but is especially suitable for settings where the development of specific measures for PA promotion is required. However, a successful implementation of the CP process depends on a number of prerequisites, e.g. sufficient resources and the engagement of key persons identified as ‘champions'.
S11-2 Cooperative planning with coaching elements in childcare centres: a qualitative investigation of childcare directors' perspectives
Authors: Müller Christina 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Interventions to promote health-enhancing physical activity in early childhood education and care settings are most successful when tailored to the specific needs of each childcare centre and providing ongoing support to address context-specific barriers. Our research project therefore initiated organizational development processes in 12 childcare centres in Southern Germany supported by coaching and self-assessment tools. The staff of each centre was instructed to set three centre-specific SMART goals targeting physical activity and to use Goal Attainment Scaling in order to track the success at implementation. This qualitative study aims at exploring childcare centre directors' views on the guided planning process and identifying facilitators and barriers for its implementation.

Methods
We conducted guided semi-structured interviews with the directors of the centres after the 12- month organizational development process. 9 out of 12 directors were interviewed. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis with inductive category development.

Results
Childcare directors mainly considered themselves to be the person with the greatest responsibility for the success of the process. The coaching was regarded as helpful for structuring the process, involving the whole team and becoming clearer about goals. Several factors were identified as facilitators: a beneficial personnel situation, the intrinsic motivation of staff, good team cooperation, a high priority of physical activity, previous experience with similar projects, pressure for change, individual drivers, a good infrastructure, parents' support and support from the administrating organization. Reported barriers included team conflicts, lack of willingness to accept change and shortness of time.

Conclusions
Several contextual and interpersonal factors seem to influence the extent to which a cooperative planning process can be implemented by the staff of a childcare centre. The results help understand the process of change as a complex interventional system in which the intervention cannot be considered separately from the context.
O1-7 MoveHealthy: improving health and sustaining participation of youth in sports through sports injury prevention
Authors: de Jong Johan 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Sport injuries are a major reason for reduced participation and drop-out from sports and physical education. Refraining from sport participation has negative effects on mental and physical well-being, which tracks into adulthood. It is therefore important for youth to be facilitated into lifelong active participation in physical activity and sport. Despite the importance of sports injury prevention in youth, no broad scale approaches that work in real-life situations with significant positive effects exist. Sports coaches (SC) and physical educators (PE) experience current approaches exercises as not context specific, time consuming and not contributing to their training goals. This leads to poor uptake, implementation and maintenance of current sports injury prevention exercises. To overcome current barriers, the Move Healthy project develops ICT based video material of routines for and with PE and SC, which supports them to prevent sports injuries in youth. The purpose of this crucial mapping phase is to identify the wishes and needs of the end-users PE and SC regarding injury prevention.

Methods
A mapping procedure was conducted to identify the wishes and needs of PE and SC regarding integration of injury prevention in their daily work. For that, focus groups, with PE from primary and secondary education and basketball and soccer coaches from 6 EU countries, were held.

Results
A total of 31 PE (primary and secondary school) and 37 sport coaches (basketball and soccer) from 6 EU countries were included. The qualitative results from SC state that injury preventive routines should focus on: sport performance, good quality of movement, dynamic combinations of existing exercises and it should be fun and challenging. PE tend to focus more on: motivation aspects, how to overcome barriers and implementation aspects. For both groups, a clear and specific explanation about the why, what and how regarding injury prevention based on principles of motor learning should be included in the approach.

Conclusions
The results from the mapping phase will lead to guidelines, statements regarding educational concepts, content and design criteria for video material on the ICT based support platform for SC and PE.

O2-1 Improving diet and physical activity in older adults living at home: protocol for the ALAPAGE cluster randomized controlled trial
Authors: Vinet Agnès , Bocquier Aurélie , Dubois Christophe , Verger Pierre , Darmon Nicole 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Adequate nutrition and regular physical activity (PA) are key elements in healthy aging. In France, behavioural interventions promoting healthy eating and PA in older adults consist mainly in collective workshops organised by pension and health insurance funds. After analyzing pre-existing workshops, we designed the co-constructed project ALAPAGE to improve these workshops and assess their impact on diet and PA.

Methods
ALAPAGE is a cluster randomized controlled trial; 60 collective workshops in southeastern France will be randomized in a 2:1 (intervention/control) ratio. We will recruit 900 autonomous older adults (? 60 years) living at home and will make specific efforts to recruit socially isolated and/or economically vulnerable people. In the intervention group, collective workshop period will include 7 sessions (1 session/week): 1 introductory, 4 diet and 2 PA (to teach principles of functional dual-task exercise focused on strength, flexibility and physical functioning). During the following 3-months, participants will be recommended to perform exercises as often as possible and will participate in post-workshop activities. The control group will first participate to other types of workshops and then to a diet and PA workshop (waiting-list design).

Results
The dietary practices (using experimental economics), physical activity (battery of field test and habitual PA), quality of life, and cost-effectiveness will be assessed at the first and last session, and 3 months later.

Conclusion
Results will guide decision-makers to organize actions and their dissemination. Transferability to other regions will be facilitated by the fact that key stakeholders involved in ALAPAGE belong to structured national networks.
O2-2 Should I stay or should I go? A mixed-methods, longitudinal investigation of predictors, barriers and enablers of adherence to REACT, a 12-month group-based, active-ageing programme

Abstract

Background
Physical activity (PA) programmes targeting older adults often report relatively low attendance rates which limits impact. Research into barriers and enablers of PA adherence is often qualitative and rarely tests outcomes against objectively monitored adherence to assess whether what people say is actually reflected in what they do. This study adopts a rare, mixed methods, longitudinal perspective identifying subjective and objective predictors of and associations with adherence to REtirement in ACTion (REACT), a 12-month physical activity intervention for frail or pre-frail older adults.

Methods
Semi-structured interviews conducted at six (n = 17) and 12 months (n = 10) explored barriers and enablers to adherence. Thematic analysis led to ten adherence related research hypotheses. These were tested by examining correlations between REACT programme attendance and physical function (Short Physical Performance Battery), self-rated physical function (mobility assessment tool-short form (MAT-sf)), dominant hand grip strength assessed by digital dynamometer, Ageing Well profile (social scale), process evaluation data at baseline (n = 411) and six-months (n = 348) and open-ended participant feedback at six-months (n = 307). Each participant response was scored -1) for a negative comment, 1 for positive or zero for no comment or balancing negative and positive comments.

Results
Higher adherence correlated with younger age (r=-0.162, p &gt; 0.001), better physical function, both objectively measured (r = 0.118, p &gt; 0.05) and self-rated (r = 0.134, p &gt; 0.01), greater grip strength (r = 0.118, p &gt; 0.05) and having less social contact (r=-0.134, p &gt; 0.01), at baseline. It also correlated with an improvement in objectively measured physical function between baseline and six months (r = 0.200, p &gt; 0.001). At 6-months enjoyment of the programme (r = 0.263, p &gt; 0.001), specifically enjoyment of muscle-strengthening exercises (r = 0.142, p &gt; 0.027), perception of positive social interactions (from questionnaire data (r = 0.212, p &gt; 0.001) and open-ended feedback (r = 0.157, p &gt; 0.01)) and perceptions of an autonomy-supportive teaching style (r = 0.213, p &gt; 0.001) all correlated with higher adherence.

Conclusions
PA programmes for older adults should encourage the development of social connections and group cohesion but should take a flexible approach to avoid negatively affecting adherence amongst those with pre-existing high levels of social contact. Building confidence in PA and physical function as these improve during the programme, promoting enjoyment and utilising an autonomy-supportive leader teaching style are important in order to support adherence.
