The Co-Development of Guiding Principles to Support Physical Activity Among the Least Active Children
No full textPurpose: Physical inactivity in children remains a significant public health issue, with nearly 40% of United Kingdom children aged 8–10 not meeting recommended activity levels. While many interventions exist, a persistent gap remains – those children who remain inactive despite these efforts. This study aimed to co-develop a set of evidence-informed design principles specifically for interventions targeting the least active 8–10-year-olds. By using a stakeholder-led process, the goal was to generate practical, context-sensitive strategies that can be applied in both school and community settings.
Methods: This qualitative research followed the Double Diamond Design Approach (DDDA) through a structured co-development workshop using participatory methods. Stakeholders (n = 29), including researchers (n = 12), public health professionals (n = 7), and community practitioners (n = 10), were recruited to ensure varied perspectives. Written and verbal data were collected through audio-recorded group discussions and workshops.
Results: Preliminary insights included key themes relating to whole-family engagement, early years inclusion, and reframing physical activity as ‘movement’ to enhance accessibility and reduce stigma. Stakeholders prioritised culturally sensitive, inclusive designs and emphasised the importance of unstructured, fun-based play. Hyper-local delivery, safe environments, and adaptable programming were also highlighted as essential. Creative and multisport options, workforce diversity, and peer leadership also featured strongly. A modified Delphi process will be used for stakeholders to review and provide feedback on the draft principles. The final principles and statements will be presented at the HEPA conference.
Conclusion: This study highlights the value of structured co-development in generating context-specific, practical strategies to increase physical activity among the least active children. By integrating stakeholder expertise with child- and parent-centred insights, the guiding principles developed are grounded in lived experience and designed for implementation in both school and community settings. The findings offer actionable, scalable solutions for educators, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to address persistent physical activity inequalities. Ongoing refinement further strengthens these principles, with future phases focused on real-world piloting to assess feasibility, sustainability, and long-term impact.

Understanding how liberal arts sophomores self-author through career services engagement
No full textThe sophomore slump is a phenomenon researched across higher education and is a documented challenge at Reed College, where the majority of student attrition occurs during the sophomore year. Informed by Baxter Magolda and King’s (2004) Self-Authorship Model, this study investigates sophomores’ psychosocial identity development after engaging with a phenomenologically unique career services program at Reed College. This phenomenological, qualitative study collected Zoom interviews to understand how, if at all, the Purpose Driven Career Advising Model (PDCAM) used by the Center for Life Beyond Reed (CLBR) promoted sophomores’ self-authorship development. The study asked the question: According to juniors at Reed College who engaged with the Center for Life Beyond Reed (CLBR) as sophomores, how, if at all, did their engagement with the Purpose Driven Career Advising Model (PDCAM) influence their ability to self-author throughout sophomore year? Narrative reflections were recorded and gathered from six juniors who meaningfully engaged with CLBR during their sophomore year. Their interviews were analyzed using in vivo and hand coding to identify three themes that evidenced the PDCAM’s impact on sophomore’s identity development. Drawing from these findings, implications for practice and implications for future research were offered to advance sophomores’ campus experience, career progression, and continued identity development. Implications from this study included a greater need for universally adopting the PDCAM across Reed College and greater integration of identity-based advising practices as a standard in the field of career services

Comparing the physical and mental effects of using Movement Breaks or Physically Active Learning within Curriculum Time: A Multi-School Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial
No full textPURPOSE: Physically Active learning (PAL) and Movement Breaks (MBs) are popular methods for encouraging increased Physical Activity (PA) within curriculum time. Both have also been claimed to enhance pupil’s cognitive and academic performances. However, existing research evidence is inconsistent in finding support for such claims and there are no studies directly comparing the two methods. Consequently, this study investigated the acute effects of lessons taught using PAL or incorporating MBs on pupil’s Cognitive and Academic Performances (AP) and PA Levels. METHOD: 355 children (aged 8-10 years) from three schools in Northern England participated in a cluster-randomised trial. Classes of pupils were assigned to participate in one of the three types of, 45 min long, mathematics lesson (Lesson-type: PAL, MB or Traditional). Physical activity during lessons was measured using accelerometery and pre- and post-lesson participants completed a battery of standardised assessments assessing of their Maths Fluency (measure of AP) and Cognitive (Attentional) Control. RESULTS: Compared to Traditional (sedentary) lessons, PAL and MB lessons were associated with pupils being significantly more Moderately to Vigorously Physically Active during lesson time (95% CI: +9.86 to 11.06 min). PAL lessons also reduced time spent sedentary by a significantly larger margin than lessons incorporating a MB (95% CI: -16.60 to 21.70 min). However, variation over time in Maths Fluency and Attentional Control measures were not significantly moderated by Lesson-Type, with Bayes Factors indicating evidence in favour of null hypothesis (All Time X Lesson-Type interactions had a BF10 ranging from 0.29 to 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Both PAL and MBs effectively increase student’s PA levels during curriculum time. These benefits do not come at the expense of academic or cognitive performances but neither do these outcomes appear acutely enhanced
