This mixed-methods process evaluation examines the reach, recruitment, fidelity, adherence, acceptability, mechanisms of impact, and context of remote 12-week physical activity (PA) interventions for adolescent girls named The HERizon Project. The study was comprised of four arms—a PA programme group, a behaviour change support group, a combined group, and a comparison group. Data sources included intervention deliverer and participant logbooks (100 and 71% respective response rates, respectively), exit surveys (72% response rate), and semi-structured focus groups/interviews conducted with a random subsample of participants from each of the intervention arms (n = 34). All intervention deliverers received standardised training and successfully completed pre-intervention competency tasks. Based on self-report logs, 99% of mentors adhered to the call guide, and 100% of calls and live workouts were offered. Participant adherence and intervention receipt were also high for all intervention arms. Participants were generally satisfied with the intervention components; however, improvements were recommended for the online social media community within the PA programme and combined intervention arms. Autonomy, sense of accomplishment, accountability, and routine were identified as factors facilitating participant willingness to adhere to the intervention across all intervention arms. Future remote interventions should consider structured group facilitation to encourage a genuine sense of community among participants.

The Subject

The article presents the results of development and testing of the psycho-diagnostic tool designed to determine the extreme addicts in individuals not involved in sports professionally. The key problem of the research is extreme physical activity with symptoms of addictive behavior. The target group of the study and use of the Test for detecting disorders related to the passion for extreme physical activity EXTRIM-UDIT (version "self-report and introspection") to non-professional athletes can meet such characteristics as: adolescent / adolescence; teenagers and young men in a state of stress and/or conflict with peers formal reference groups or family environment; confined and lonely seeking approval of an informal reference group that lack the communication and self-expression etc. Signs of extreme addicts and disorders associated with the passion for extreme physical activity, the authors attributed the following:  The desire to engage in extreme physical activity longer than all other activities. Postponing educational, home etc. cases for the implementation of extreme physical activity. Worsening of mood due to the lack of extreme physical activity. During emotional stress calming himself with thoughts about the upcoming activity. The rejection of people who are not fond of extreme physical activity. Failure to withdraw from classes for feeling unwell or other reasons. Feelings of sadness and anxiety in those days, when activity no. To General characteristics of individuals with extreme addicts include: At the time of this study notes that classes of extreme physical activity is the meaning of life.  The readiness of the day and night making extreme physical activity. Neglecting studies or other things.  At the slightest mention of the extraordinary passion for extreme physical activity, such a person begins to be annoyed and to argue in favor of the ignorance of others about a healthy lifestyle. Test for the detection of disorders associated with passion for extreme physical activity EXTRIM-UDIT (version "self-report and introspection") to non-professional athletes to diagnose the following levels: I level (0-7 points) – relatively safe practicing extreme physical activity (intervention is limited to providing the subject with information about the potential dangers of extreme motor activity); Level II (scores of 8-15) – risky extreme physical activity (providing the subject is simple tips on the need to reduce the time and clarify the dangers of the places where you normally become active);  Level III (scores of 16-19) – dangerous desire (strong motivation) to extreme physical activity (must complete a short psychotherapeutic intervention, and to continue monitoring the state of the subject).  Level IV (20 points or more) – a destructive involvement in extreme physical activity (to be conducted more detailed diagnosis of emotional, character, status, social role, family role-playing aspects of the personality and life of the subject and, in the case of the establishment of patterns of behavior restoration to recommend the appropriate program of socio-psychological training, psychotherapy).

Over 75% children in the United Kingdom fail to achieve recommended levels of physical activity. Successful implementation of ‘The Daily Mile™’, a school-based physical activity intervention, could promote activity. We examined factors instrumental to replication and/or wider implementation of ‘The Daily Mile’ through application of a two phase multi-method process evaluation. Phase one: 75 children (mean age seven years eight months) from one East Midland primary academy trialled the intervention. Data collected were self-report logs, perceived exertion scores and structured observation. Phase two: a sub-sample of 18 stakeholders participated in focus groups which were analysed using framework method. Teachers delivered ‘The Daily Mile’ on 93.6% of school days. An average of 95.2% of students participated, 94.2% completed recommended 15 minutes, 94.3% to a moderate-to-vigorous level. Three themes emerged in focus groups; embedding ‘The Daily Mile’ into practice, creating the right physical environment and building relationships/promoting a supportive climate. With systematic organisation and planning, ‘The Daily Mile’ could emerge as an integrated means of increasing physical activity. A supportive climate and factors that promote resilience are key facilitators. Further research is needed to establish outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

Community Based

Purpose: Identifying best practices in successful community based intervention programs is critical to improving the health concerns that currently afflict our nation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a community-based physical activity (PA) intervention program in order to share an evidence-based framework that can be used in community settings, including academic communities. The specific objectives of this study were to determine the effectiveness of a community based PA intervention program, specifically noting changes in perceived levels of (a) self-esteem, (b) body size satisfaction, (c) frequency of physical activity and (d) commitment levels the longer a participant engaged in the program.Method:  The cross-sectional, quantitative self-report survey design utilized a 29-item web-based questionnaire. A sample of participants (N = 383 (Mage = 43 years; SD = 7 years; 100% women) from the Mullica Hill Women’s Triathlon Club self-selected to participate. Results: Independent sample t-tests ascertained that the longer a participant engaged in the program, the more her perceived self-esteem improved and the more committed she became to PA. Chi square goodness of fit analyses further demonstrated that a woman’s age impacted her level of satisfaction with her body. Conclusions: Opportunities to participate in a community based intervention program should be extended throughout all communities in an effort to improve holistic well-being. Further, type and duration as well as point of data collection of such programs should be differentiated in future research.

Time Point

Background: Brief advice is recommended to increase physical activity (PA) within primary care. This study assessed change in PA levels and mental wellbeing after a motivational interviewing (MI) community-based PA intervention and the impact of signposting [SP] and Social Action [SA] (i.e. weekly group support) pathways. Methods: Participants (n=2084) took part in a community-based, primary care PA programme using MI techniques. Self-reported PA and mental wellbeing data were collected at baseline (following an initial 30-minute MI appointment), 12-weeks, six-months, and 12-months. Participants were assigned based upon the surgery they attended to the SP or SA pathway. Multilevel models were used to derive point estimates and 95%CIs for outcomes at each time point and change scores. Results: Participants increased PA and mental wellbeing at each follow-up time point through both participant pathways and with little difference between pathways. Retention was similar between pathways at 12-weeks, but the SP pathway retained more participants at six-months and 12-months. Conclusions: Both pathways produced similar improvements in PA and mental wellbeing, suggesting the effectiveness of MI based PA interventions. However, due to lower resources required yet similar effects, SP pathways are recommended over SA to support PA in primary care settings.
