Clive Efford, the Shadow Minister for Sport discusses his vision of the sporting future.
Presented at the Sport and Recreation Alliance's Sports Summit 2014.
The document proposes a service called "Youth Champions Lets Stop Obesity" that aims to increase physical activity and prevent obesity in children. It will organize competitive physical challenges to motivate children in an engaging way. The current state of childhood obesity in the UK and London is alarming, with over 25% of children overweight or obese. Lack of physical exercise is worsening and contributes to rising healthcare costs. The proposed service seeks to address this issue by making exercise fun and social in the boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Newham, and Hackney.
This document provides a critique of government strategies in the UK and locally in Sunderland to reduce childhood obesity over the last decade. It begins with an introduction describing rates of childhood obesity nationally and in Sunderland. It then examines potential causes of obesity and discusses national and local strategies related to nutrition, physical activity, and food in schools. The document compares these strategies and evaluates their effectiveness in reducing childhood obesity.
The document discusses obesity rates in Broxbourne and England. It notes that Broxbourne has significantly higher rates of obese children and adults than the Hertfordshire average. Maintaining a healthy weight is complex, with multiple contributing factors including human biology, culture, food environment, physical environment, and sedentary lifestyles. A multifaceted, whole system approach is needed that addresses the social, biological, behavioral, environmental, and structural determinants of health across communities. The Broxbourne pilot aims to help achieve healthy weights through initiatives targeting children, families, schools, healthcare providers, food access, physical activity programs, and the built environment.
This document outlines a presentation on physical activity and sedentary behavior among children and young people in Scotland. It discusses the background and benefits of physical activity, recommended activity levels, current activity levels in Scotland, sedentary behaviors like TV viewing, and initiatives to increase physical activity. While interventions have increased activity in school, overall activity levels remain disappointing. Improving physical activity remains a public health priority given its long-term health benefits.
The document discusses BMI screening requirements for public schools in Massachusetts. Schools must conduct height, weight, vision and hearing screenings annually for students in certain grades by June 30, 2010/2011 or risk losing grant money and screening waivers. Compliance would result in over 10,000 additional screening per year compared to non-compliance. Next steps include developing parent notification policies and materials on BMI screening and student health resources.
2016 Conference - Unpacking the implications of the new DCMS Sport and DoH ch...Youth Sport Trust
The document provides an overview of physical activity policy and what the government is doing to address physical activity challenges in the UK. It notes that:
1) Around two-thirds of men and half of women meet national physical activity guidelines, while only around 20% of children and 10% of very young children meet recommendations.
2) The government is working across several departments and with organizations to implement strategies and initiatives to increase physical activity levels among adults and children through supporting health professionals, schools, and active travel policies.
3) Recent strategies published include the new Sport Strategy and an upcoming Walking and Cycling Investment Strategy to coordinate efforts around physical activity promotion.
2016 Conference - Unpacking the implications of the new DCMS Sport and DoH ch...Youth Sport Trust
The document summarizes a panel discussion on the implications of new government strategies for sport, physical activity, and youth development. The panel included representatives from the Youth Sport Trust, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and the Department of Health. They discussed the new Sporting Future strategy, updates on health policy, and the implications for school physical education, youth sport, and overall physical activity levels. The panel then took questions on these topics from the audience.
This document discusses the changing landscape of physical education in UK primary schools. It notes that government funding for PE has increased in recent years through grants like the PE and Sport Premium. Schools have used this funding to increase training for teachers, hire more coaches, buy new equipment, and offer more extracurricular sports. A government study found that since this funding, schools now offer a wider variety of sports both during and after school. While coaches can increase participation, there is some concern that they may lack teaching skills and prioritize sports over education. Overall, the increased funding seems to have positively impacted participation, especially among groups like girls and less active students.

6 Week Sport-Based Healthy Eating Intervention for Year 6 Students in Barnsta...Tom Lake
This document proposes a 6-week dual-curriculum intervention program for year 6 students in primary schools in Barnstaple, UK. The program would consist of a 45-minute classroom lesson on healthy eating followed by a 45-minute multi-sport physical activity lesson each week. It would be run by coaches from Exeter City Football Club and aim to improve students' knowledge of healthy eating and increase physical activity. The document reviews similar past programs and argues that this proposal could help address issues of inactivity and poor diets identified in Barnstaple children.
This document outlines a proposed study investigating the effects of an after-school physical activity intervention on children's physical activity levels. The study would use a quasi-experimental design comparing an intervention group receiving the multi-component after-school program to a control group receiving usual after-school care. Physical activity would be directly observed at baseline and follow-up using the SOFIT protocol. The author hypothesizes that the after-school intervention will significantly increase physical activity levels in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Relationship of body mass index, fat and visceral fat among adolescentsSports Journal
In the present study the researcher studied out the correlation of Body mass index, Fat and visceral fat
among adolescents. Data was statically analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Multi
Correlation Coefficient was used (PPMCC). It was find out that body mass index was significantly
correlated with fat and visceral fat and on the other hand fat was also significantly correlated with
visceral fat among adolescents.
The document discusses childhood obesity as a growing problem and outlines its various medical, physical, and contributing social factors. It notes that childhood obesity often leads to health issues as an adult like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Contributing factors include poor diet, excessive snacking, lack of physical activity, and more time spent sedentary. Preventing childhood obesity requires changes like healthier eating, increased exercise, less screen time, and early education of children and parents on developing good habits.
1. There are many opportunities to get involved in sports in roles beyond performing such as coaching, officiating, and volunteering. Training is available through governing bodies.
2. The government has initiatives to encourage participation such as ensuring 2 hours of PE per week in schools. The PESSCL program aims to strengthen links between schools and sports clubs.
3. Sport England's objectives are to increase participation to improve health ("Start"), retain people in sports through clubs and opportunities ("Stay"), and create opportunities for success in talented performers ("Succeed").
Walk to School Week is a proposed initiative in South Yorkshire aimed at increasing physical activity levels in children to address high obesity rates. It would encourage children to walk to school through organized walking groups. Research shows walking to school provides health benefits like increased cardiovascular fitness. It could help meet government policies targeting obesity. Recommendations to improve the initiative include adding competitive elements between schools and activities appealing more to girls, like walking with friends. Expanding local park run events could also help engage more children in physical activity.
Obesity- Tipping Back the Scales of the Nation 19th April, 2017mckenln
The document outlines Professor Gareth Stratton's research on childhood physical activity and fitness levels. It discusses trends showing declining fitness and rising obesity rates in children over time. It then describes various studies and interventions to promote physical activity in children, such as exergaming, active playgrounds, and after-school activity programs. The goal is to understand factors influencing the "fitness to fatness" trend and develop strategies to reverse it by helping children be more active and fit.
This document discusses the importance of physical education in schools. It begins by defining positive physical education and explaining the goals and benefits. It then discusses national standards and recommendations for physical activity and education. Data is presented showing declines in physical education in schools and rises in childhood obesity. The role of physical education in addressing obesity and increasing physical activity is explored. Reasons are given for why schools should take responsibility for student physical activity and education.
The document discusses plans to increase physical activity levels in Liverpool, England to improve public health. The goals are to exceed national physical activity targets by increasing the proportion of active residents by 1% per year. This would mean an additional 6,000 children and 4,000 adults would become more active each year. Currently, obesity levels are high in Liverpool, contributing to health issues and costs for the National Health Service. The proposed strategies to address this include programs in schools, neighborhoods, and facilities access to encourage physical activity among children and adults.
Process to Product and Product to Process - Professor Gareth Strattonukactive
The document summarizes the process used by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to develop public health guidance on promoting physical activity in children and young people. NICE assesses evidence on physical inactivity risks, effective interventions, and cost-effectiveness to produce recommendations. Recommendations target organizations and practitioners involved in children's physical activity and aim to increase participation through enjoyment, cultural sensitivity, and gradual involvement.
The document discusses the growing problem of childhood obesity, identifying factors like increased consumption of unhealthy foods and drinks, decreased physical activity, and lack of nutrition education. It argues that strength training can be safe and beneficial for children if properly supervised. The document proposes addressing childhood obesity through educating children on healthy eating and exercise, encouraging outdoor activities and exercise programs, and parents leading by example through their own healthy behaviors and home environment.
This document discusses the potential for using video games to promote health-related behavior change in children. It summarizes 27 articles on 25 video games that have been used experimentally to teach nutrition, increase physical activity, and address other health topics. Many of these games combine storytelling, interactivity, and behavior change techniques. The document argues that further research is needed to understand how best to design game stories, fantasy elements, interactivity, and behavior change features to maximize health impacts. It also notes the large amounts of time children spend playing video games, representing an opportunity to engage them around health through this entertaining medium.
Professor Philip Morgan | Obesity, Exercise and Men 20132013UoN
This document discusses obesity, exercise, and men. It begins by noting that Australian men have higher rates of overweight and obesity than men in other countries. It then discusses differences in how men and women respond to physical activity and the need for targeted weight loss interventions for men. The remainder of the document summarizes studies conducted by Professor Morgan and colleagues on developing and evaluating gender-tailored weight loss programs for men, including online-only programs and workplace-based programs. It found that these programs improved health outcomes for men such as weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure.
In the US, many of us struggle with decreasing our BMI, or body mass index. The opposite is true for the children in Trinity/HOPE's feeding programs in Haiti.
They desperately need to increase their BMI and our feeding programs are helping them do just that. There is quite a bit of compelling data in the presentation. The two key takeaways are: 1) Trinity/HOPE's feeding programs are saving lives and 2) the younger children benefit the most - so it is important to keep feeding kids and expand our programs to as many Haitian children as possible.

MEND is a community-based weight management program that aims to reduce overweight and obesity levels. It uses a multi-disciplinary approach involving exercise, nutrition, and behavioral changes delivered by trained non-specialists. Extensive research shows MEND leads to sustained reductions in waist circumference, BMI, and improved self-esteem. MEND is seeking partnerships with the health and fitness sector to expand its delivery and further its goal of helping more families live healthier lives.
This document summarizes a thesis that studied the effects of an after-school program called Get Out, Get Active! on body mass index (BMI), body composition, and physical activity levels in kindergarten through fifth grade students. The study measured BMI, skin fold thickness, and pedometer steps in 73 students before and after participating in the program, which involved 1 hour per week of outdoor games for 12 weeks. The results showed no significant changes in BMI or body composition between pre-and post-testing. However, there were significant increases in daily pedometer steps for kindergarten through first grade students and fourth through fifth grade students. The study suggests that while physical activity was provided, a more rigorous protocol may be needed to

Euro 2024 Belgium's Rebirth the New Generation Match the Golden Era.docxEticketing.co
The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Indian Premier League (IPL) ---2024.pptxrathinikunj60
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prominent and lucrative Twenty20 (T20) cricket leagues in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized the landscape of cricket by blending sports, entertainment, and commerce. This summary provides an overview of the IPL's history, structure, notable performances, controversies, and its impact on cricket and beyond.
History and Formation
The IPL was launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, inspired by the success of domestic T20 leagues like the English T20 Cup and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Lalit Modi, the then Vice-President of BCCI, played a crucial role in conceptualizing and launching the league. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2008 with eight franchises representing different cities in India.
Structure and Format
The IPL follows a franchise-based model, where teams are owned by a mix of corporations, Bollywood stars, and other high-profile individuals. The league originally started with eight teams, although the number has fluctuated over the years due to various reasons including expansions and terminations. As of the latest seasons, the IPL features ten teams.
The tournament format includes a double round-robin stage, where each team plays the others twice, followed by playoffs. The top four teams from the round-robin stage qualify for the playoffs, which consist of two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final. This format ensures a highly competitive and engaging tournament, culminating in a grand finale to crown the champion.
Teams and Their Evolution
The founding teams of the IPL were:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals)
Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Deccan Chargers (now defunct, replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Over the years, the league has seen new teams such as Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant. The most recent additions are the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in the 2022 season.
Iconic Players and Performances
The IPL has attracted the best talent from around the world, with numerous iconic players making significant contributions. Some of the standout performers include:
Sachin Tendulkar (MI): The "Little Master" brought his legendary status to the IPL, winning the Orange Cap (top run-scorer) in 2010.
Chris Gayle (RCB, KXIP): Known for his explosive batting, Gayle holds the record for the highest individual score in an IPL match (175*).
MS Dhoni (CSK): Dhoni's leadership has been instrumental in CSK's success, leading them to multiple titles.
AB de Villiers (RCB): Renowned for his innovative stroke play, de Villiers has been a consistent match-winner.
Virat Kohli (RCB): The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Kohli's batting prowess is unmatched.
