Abstract Background Sports clubs offer a unique position to increase performance and physical activity but may also provide additional health promoting opportunities. Research is limited on support clubs need to increase health promotion efforts. This study took a participative approach to gather French stakeholder ideas on perceived assistance sports clubs need to increase health promotion efforts and prioritized them based on ratings of importance and feasibility. Methods This concept mapping study had 4-steps: 1) drafting a focus prompt to a key issue, 2) brainstorming ideas in response to the focus prompt, 3) sorting ideas into themed piles and 4) rating ideas (1-6) based on two indicators. French stakeholders (45) in sports and health organizations were invited to respond using the groupwisdom™ platform. Researchers produced visual cluster maps of themed piles and Go-Zone graphs displaying ideas perceived as important and feasible. Results Participants generated 62 ideas responding to the focus prompt: 'What assistance would benefit sports clubs to become health-promoting settings?'. Once researchers edited ideas, 78 were available to sort. Final sorting formed 9 clusters: Tools for health promotion, Communication tools, Stakeholder training courses, Diagnostic & Financing, Awareness & Mobilization, Advocacy, Policies & Methods, Sharing & Networking, Communication & Dissemination. Importance and feasibility ratings produced Go-Zones with 34 ideas above the mean for both indicators. Top focus areas include: increasing awareness of health promotion benefits, mobilizing actors, advocating for support and educating club actors. Conclusions Understanding support stakeholders need to increase health promotion efforts in sports clubs is a crucial step to plan and implement policies. Including stakeholders' perceptions helps establish effective interventions by increasing the possibility of integration into current or emerging policies and acceptance from those working in clubs. Key messages Generating and organizing stakeholder ideas gives insight into perceptions of what support is needed to develop and implement health promotion interventions in the sports club context. Based on importance and feasibility, sports clubs can increase health promotion efforts by focusing on: increasing awareness of health promotion benefits, mobilizing actors, advocacy and education.

Summary Researchers and policymakers acknowledge sports clubs (SCs) as health promoting settings. Limited research links the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to provide SCs guidance to develop health promotion (HP) interventions. As implementation science insists on theoretically grounded interventions, the present work’s objective was to provide SCs an evidence-driven intervention framework for planning, developing and implementing HP initiatives. Four iteratively sequenced steps were undertaken: (i) investigation of ‘health promoting’ indicators, (ii) adaptation of the HPSC concept to create the HPSC model, (iii) formulation of published evidence-driven guidelines into strategies and implementable intervention components (ICs) and (iv) merging the HPSC model with the ICs to create an intervention planning framework for SCs. First, researchers drafted five HPSC indicators. Second, they defined three SC levels (macro, meso and micro) and four health determinants (organizational, environmental, economic and social) to create an HPSC model. Third, researchers used published guidelines to develop 14 strategies with 55 ICs. Fourth, three workshops (one each with French master-level sport students, French sport and health professionals and Swedish sport and health professionals) had participants classify the ICs into the model. The HPSC model and intervention framework are starting points to plan, select and deliver interventions to increase SC HP. This planning framework is usable in several ways: (i) clubs can apply strategies to achieve specific goals, (ii) clubs can target specific levels with corresponding ICs and (iii) ICs can be used to address particular health determinants.

Abstract Background Researchers and policymakers have acknowledged sports clubs (SCs) as health promoting settings. Limited research links the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to offer SCs guidance to develop health promotion interventions. As implementation science insists on theoretically grounded interventions, this work's objective was to provide SCs an evidence-driven intervention framework for planning health promotions. Methods A 4-step process was undertaken: 1) investigate indicators for SCs to be considered health promoting, 2) adapt the theoretical HPSC concept to create a HPSC model, 3) reformulate published evidence-driven guidelines into implementable intervention components (ICs) and 4) merge the model with the ICs to provide an intervention planning framework for SCs. During 3 workshops, researchers defined the model elements and ICs. Workshop participants classified ICs into the HSPC model. Each IC could be classified multiple times within the model. Results Researchers drafted 5 HPSC indicators: 1) an approach embracing all SC actions, 2) involve all SC levels in actions and decisions, 3) involve external partners, 4) promoting health is continuous and iterative and 5) base actions on needs. To create the HPSC model, elements were defined: 3 SC levels (club, management, coaches) and 4 health determinants (organizational, social, environmental, economic) per level based on the indicators. Published guidelines from literature reviews aided in developing 14 strategies with 55 ICs. Workshop classification of ICs into the model included: club (n = 79), management (n = 67) and coaches (n = 48). Conclusions The theoretical HPSC model and intervention planning framework act as starting points to develop and implement interventions to increase HP efforts by stakeholders in several ways: 1) SCs can apply strategies based on goals, 2) SCs can target specific levels with corresponding ICs or 3) ICs can target specific health determinants. Key messages A Health Promoting Sports Club model defines 4 health determinants at 3 levels (coach, management operational) of sports clubs to plan, develop and implement targeted health promotion activities. This HPSC intervention planning framework has 14 strategies with 55 intervention components targeting multiple sports club levels giving stakeholders a path to become a health promoting sports club.

Background: Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among adolescents is high, and pain in adolescence increases the risk of chronic pain in adulthood. Studies have shown conflicting evidence regarding associations between physical activity and musculoskeletal pain, and few have evaluated the potential impact of sport participation on musculoskeletal pain in adolescent population samples. Purpose: To examine the associations between physical activity level, sport participation, and musculoskeletal pain in the neck and shoulders, low back, and lower extremities in a population-based sample of adolescents. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence 4. Methods: Data from the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (Young-HUNT3) were used. All 10,464 adolescents in the Nord-Trøndelag county of Norway were invited, of whom 74% participated. Participants were asked how often they had experienced pain, unrelated to any known disease or acute injury, in the neck and shoulders, low back, and lower extremities in the past 3 months. The associations between (1) physical activity level (low [reference], medium or high) or (2) sport participation (weekly compared with no/infrequent participation) and pain were evaluated using logistic regression analyses, stratified by sex, and adjusted for age, socioeconomic status, and psychological distress. Results: The analyses included 7596 adolescents (mean age, 15.8 years; SD, 1.7). Neck and shoulder pain was most prevalent (17%). A moderate level of physical activity was associated with reduced odds of neck and shoulder pain (OR = 0.79 [95% CI, 0.66-0.94]) and low back pain (OR = 0.75 [95% CI, 0.62-0.91]), whereas a high level of activity increased the odds of lower extremity pain (OR = 1.60 [95% CI, 1.29-1.99]). Participation in endurance sports was associated with lower odds of neck and shoulder pain (OR = 0.79 [95% CI, 0.68-0.92]) and low back pain (OR = 0.77 [95% CI, 0.65-0.92]), especially among girls. Participation in technical sports was associated with increased odds of low back pain, whereas team sports were associated with increased odds of lower extremity pain. Strength and extreme sports were related to pain in all regions. Conclusion: We found that a moderate physical activity level was associated with less neck and shoulder pain and low back pain, and that participation in endurance sports may be particularly beneficial. Our findings highlight the need for health care professionals to consider the types of sports adolescents participate in when evaluating their musculoskeletal pain.

The settings-based approach to health promotion within sports clubs is a growing field of research. Evidence of health promotion intervention effectiveness in scientific literature is scarce, and little is known about their implementation mechanisms. The present study explores how promising health promotion interventions in eight French sports clubs are developed, and how the health promoting sports club’s intervention planning framework is applied. A method to collect Experiential Knowledge in health promotion was used, based on two iterative interviews to analyze intervention mechanisms and completed with document analysis. A deductive analysis using the health promoting sports club intervention planning framework was then undertaken. Among the 14 evidence-driven strategies, 13 were implemented in sports clubs (min = 9; max = 13). Policies were not targeted by any of the interventions. Key competencies of the managers of these health promotion interventions were identified: (1) having a deep understanding of the public and environment, (2) acquiring a high capacity to mobilize internal and external human resources, (3) possessing communication skills and (4) having an ability to write grant applications. By using evidence-driven strategies and intervention components, sports professionals can use this experiential knowledge to create successful and sustainable interventions.

Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings. In addition, the mapped facilitators and barriers have been used to reformulate previous guidelines of HP in sports clubs. Seven databases were searched for empirical research published between 1986 and 2017. Fifty-eight studies were included, principally coming from Australia and Europe, describing 33 unique interventions, which targeted mostly male participants in team sports. The settings-based approach was not yet applied in sports clubs, as more than half of the interventions implemented in sports club targeted only one level of the socio-ecological model, as well as focused only on study participants rather than the club overall. Based on empirical data, the analysis of facilitators and barriers helped develop revised guidelines for sports clubs to implement settings-based HP. This will be particularly useful when implementing HP initiatives to aid in the development of sports clubs working with a whole setting approach.
