This document discusses the links between physical activity, sports, fitness, and health. It outlines how a lack of physical activity is a major risk factor for diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of these conditions. Specifically, it discusses how physical activity can help reduce the risks of obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, osteoporosis, and hemorrhagic strokes. The document concludes that while diet and lifestyle factors are also important, participation in sports and regular physical activity can provide clear health benefits, especially for inactive populations.
The document summarizes physical activity trends among US adults based on national survey data from 2008-2017. It finds that the prevalence of adults meeting combined aerobic and muscle-strengthening guidelines has increased since 2008 but remains low, at 24.3% in 2017. Meeting guidelines varies between urban and rural areas, with higher rates among urban residents, and certain subgroups like younger, white, and higher income adults. Less than one quarter of children and teens engage in daily recommended physical activity.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the impact of a mini-grants program that provided funding to six churches in rural South Georgia to implement policy and environmental changes to promote healthy eating and physical activity. The study assessed changes in parishioners' (N=258) perceptions of their church's health promotion environment and whether any changes were associated with healthy behaviors. Key results included: 1) Perceived improvements in church nutrition environments were most strongly associated with decreases in unhealthy food consumed and stronger intentions to use physical activity resources. 2) Perceived changes in the physical activity environment were unrelated to behaviors. 3) The study suggests church environments may influence healthy behaviors at church but it is unknown if this extends to other settings.
Sedentary lifestyles lead to non-communicable and lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, etc. This infographic throws light on the exercising patterns in India.
- Rates of overweight and obesity have increased dramatically in the US over the past few decades, with over 2/3 of American adults now overweight and about 1/3 obese.
- This epidemic is primarily due to lifestyle and environmental changes that have led to poor nutrition habits like increased fast food consumption and sugary drinks, as well as less physical activity due to more sedentary jobs and communities designed around automobile use.
- Community design features like walkability, mixed land use, and access to transit and active transportation can significantly impact physical activity levels and obesity rates by supporting healthier lifestyle choices.

Physical inactivity is linked to certain cancers, with approximately 1% of UK cancers each year directly attributed to inactivity. Regular physical activity reduces cancer risk through various mechanisms like reducing inflammation and hormone levels. Government guidelines recommend a minimum of 2.5 hours of moderate activity per week. Physical activity also benefits cancer patients and survivors by reducing tiredness and improving well-being and quality of life. Cancer Research UK aims to address preventable cancers through research, fellowships, and public information on the role of physical activity in cancer prevention and survivorship.

Age UK aims to help people enjoy later life through physical activity programs. Their data shows that physical activity decreases with age for both men and women. Their programs include Fit as a Fiddle, which has engaged over 450,000 older adults in activities. Other programs provide one-on-one support and group classes to over 9,000 older people. Partnerships and marketing have helped engage volunteers and referrals from health services. Benefits reported by older adults include social and adaptable activities that match individuals' abilities.
This document advocates for implementing a diabetes prevention program for seniors similar to one offered by the YMCA in Ohio. It summarizes that type 2 diabetes is prevalent among seniors and costs a significant amount to treat. The YMCA program helps pre-diabetic participants make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes through diet and exercise. The author argues such a program should be made available to all seniors through insurance coverage to help reduce diabetes rates and costs.

Regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk of dementia. A 30-year study found those participating in moderate exercise 2-4 times per week had a 60% lower risk of dementia. While observational studies link exercise to lower dementia rates, intervention trials results have been mixed as to whether exercise can directly reduce cognitive decline. More research is still needed to determine the optimal intensity and duration of exercise for maintaining cognitive health in older adults. Public awareness of exercise's role in reducing dementia risk is currently poor.

Regular physical activity and exercise provide significant health benefits. Not being physically active is a major risk factor for mortality and many chronic diseases. Moderate physical activity like walking, cycling, or participating in sports can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and other illnesses. Maintaining a physically active lifestyle also promotes better weight control and quality of life.

This document summarizes research on promoting physical activity. It finds that:
1) Simply communicating health risks is not effective at changing behavior, but combining risk information with strategies to improve self-efficacy and response efficacy can have larger effects.
2) Brief interventions that focus on goal setting, action planning, and overcoming barriers can successfully increase walking levels.
3) Techniques shown to improve both self-efficacy and physical activity include action planning, reinforcing progress, instruction, and graded tasks.
4) Older adults want physical activity experiences that are enjoyable, social, and allow improvements in function at their own pace without pressure. Satisfaction and self-efficacy predict long-term
This document discusses strategies that local governments can implement to address the obesity epidemic based on recommendations from the CDC. It provides an overview of the rising trends in obesity in the US from 1990 to 2009. Some key factors that contributed to increased obesity rates are the increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and fast food, lack of physical activity, and community designs that discourage walking and biking. The document argues that local governments should care because obesity rates affect healthcare costs and productivity. It recommends that local governments enact policies and create built environments that make healthy eating and active living easier through initiatives like increasing parks and improving walkability.

The document summarizes a study conducted by Emicity Research examining how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted exercise behaviors among previously fit and active Californians. Some key findings include:
- 86% of respondents reported at least one negative health change since gyms closed, most commonly worsening physical (78%) and mental (67%) health.
- Factors like lack of access to proper equipment (80%) and motivation struggles (67%) drove negative physical outcomes, while mental health suffered from similar barriers.
- Lower-income households faced disproportionate challenges to exercising outside due to space limitations.
- While digital fitness tools doubled in use, 75% saw them as supplements, not replacements, for in-person
The UNC Family Medicine Center developed a Weight Management Program (WMP) to provide improved weight loss support for patients at risk of illness from obesity. An evaluation of the WMP's pilot phase found that patients were satisfied with the program but that WMP staff needed more resources to implement it consistently. The evaluation team created tools and recommendations to standardize the WMP's delivery of services and facilitate its expansion and sustainability.

The document discusses the Urban Fitness Index, which provides individuals with a single digit score from 1-10 to define their fitness level. It found that Bengaluru, India's score was 5.9, indicating excess body fat and potential health issues. Survey results showed most people exercised 4 times a week but did not consider themselves fit. Key contributing factors were low water intake (39% drank 2-3L daily) and insufficient sleep (41% slept 6-7 hours). The document recommends drinking 4 glasses of water daily and 8+ hours of sleep to improve fitness. Bengaluru residents scored lowest in the 36-45 age range.
The document discusses the importance of physical fitness and activity for health. It notes that while average life expectancy in the US is around 78 years, healthy life expectancy is lower at 24th globally. Lack of physical activity and unhealthy lifestyles are major contributors, as they are associated with over 50% of deaths. The Surgeon General's report found that over 60% of adults do not meet physical activity recommendations. Regular moderate activity can significantly reduce mortality rates. The chapter promotes increasing physical activity and fitness levels to improve health.
Diabetes: The Facts
The number of Americans with diabetes has tripled over the last 30 years – and experts see no end to the trend. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that the number of people with diabetes will continue to rise, until 1 in 3 people could have the disease by 2050.
Getting more physical activity and sleep, eating a healthier diet, and managing stress are all lifestyle changes that can cut the risk for diabetes – and obesity.
This Infographic shows the Causes, Number of Affected People, the Cost related to Diabetes and ways of Prevention.
This document discusses soda consumption and public health. It notes that obesity rates have tripled since the 1970s, with sugary drinks being a major contributor. Soda portion sizes have increased over time. Drinking soda is linked to various health risks like diabetes and cancer. Attempts to reduce soda consumption through taxes have faced opposition from the soda industry. The document discusses various policy proposals to curb soda consumption and promote alternatives like water. Cutting back on soda gradually can help with weight control and reducing health risks.
This document discusses perspectives on research and policy regarding weight loss and obesity in men's health. It provides an overview of why focusing on men is important, applying a gendered lens to male obesity, findings from a study on men referred to community nutrition and dietetic services, and best practice guidelines for tackling male obesity in primary care settings. Key points include that obesity levels in Irish men have sharply increased, men are less likely to see their weight as a concern and seek help, and primary care approaches should emphasize physical activity, practical strategies, and long-term follow up for men.

- Exercise is associated with improved physical and mental health, academic attainment, and cognitive performance in children.
- Fitness, in particular aerobic fitness, is correlated with higher scores on math and reading tests.
- Mechanisms for this relationship include biological and psychological benefits of exercise like improved self-esteem and self-efficacy.
- Increasing PE curriculum time to 75 minutes per day does not negatively impact academic achievement and may help children learn better by making them fitter.
Sedentary lifestyle is an issue of great concern because of its deleterious health implications in
developed and developing countries. It is associated with limited physical activity, prolonged sitting at work, in
cars, communities, work sites, schools, homes and public places have been restricted in ways that minimize
human movement and muscular activities. People sit more and move less. This shift from a physically
demanding life to reduced physical activities have exposed people to high risk of developing various health
conditions such as obesity, hypertension, cardiac disorders, vitamin deficiencies, cancers to mention but a few.
They are associated with unhealthy lifestyles which are preventable. This paper therefore discussed the concept
of sedentary lifestyle, factors that enhance it and the various health implications associated with this unhealthy
behaviour. The paper concluded that individuals, groups and communities should make concerted efforts to
engage in physical activities, modify their dietary habits and avoid other risky behaviours that affect their health
negatively. Suggestions made by the paper include among others that work/public places should be structured in
a way that enhance active movement and recreational activities
This document discusses healthy versus unhealthy aging. It covers many topics related to aging including the importance of physical health and activity, changes in muscle mass and strength, sarcopenia, resistance training, protein intake, inflammation, and smoking's effects on accelerating the aging process in multiple body systems. Regular exercise through resistance training and endurance activities can help maintain muscle mass, strength, and physical and cognitive functioning with age while an inflammatory state and sedentary lifestyle are linked to poorer health outcomes and faster biological aging.
The document discusses the benefits of collaboration between the NHS and sports organizations to improve physical and mental wellbeing. It outlines how sports clubs can help reach underserved groups and promote healthy behaviors. Through case studies, it illustrates how clubs have successfully partnered with health experts to deliver initiatives like health screenings and weight loss programs tailored to local needs. The document argues that tapping into the large audiences and community influence of sports represents an unrivalled opportunity for the NHS to positively impact public health.

Healthy People 2030 focuses on issues like reducing adverse childhood experiences, improving care for those with dementia, and engaging leaders across sectors to improve overall population health.
This document outlines a program called Champions for Healthy Kids that aims to prevent obesity and diabetes in children through nutrition education, physical activity, and lifestyle mentoring. The program will partner with local organizations to provide weekly mentor-led sessions focusing on healthy eating, exercise, and use of activity trackers. Evaluation will assess changes in behaviors, knowledge, and biometrics over the short and long term to ensure the program is effectively promoting prevention of obesity, diabetes, and their risk factors in participating youth. The goal is for the program to grow sustainably over time through ongoing review of best practices.
This document provides a summary of the key findings from a 2011 community health needs assessment of Osceola and Lake Counties in Michigan. It finds that while the counties have some strengths like low crime rates and coordination of care, there are also many challenges. These include high unemployment, poverty, and lower educational attainment. Health indicators like mortality rates are worse than state averages. Risk behaviors like smoking and obesity are prevalent. Access to care is an issue, especially for specialty and primary care. The assessment gathered data from surveys, interviews, and secondary sources to develop a comprehensive view of the health landscape and identify priority areas for improvement.
This document summarizes the findings of a community health needs assessment conducted in Osceola and Lake Counties in Michigan. It identifies several health challenges facing residents, including higher rates of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease compared to the state. Social issues like poverty and lack of education negatively impact health. Access to specialty care is limited and transportation presents a barrier. However, the community benefits from strong emergency services, care coordination, and programs to address needs. Addressing issues like access to primary care, transportation, prevention/wellness, and underserved groups were prioritized for improvement.
Healthy People 2010 aims to improve national health through two overarching goals: increasing quality and years of healthy life, and eliminating health disparities. It monitors progress through 467 objectives across 28 focus areas. Achieving its goals requires recognizing that health is determined by interactions between individual behaviors, environments, and policies targeting factors like access to healthcare. Two successful programs that exemplify this systematic approach are Action for Healthy Kids, which promotes healthy school environments, and the 100 Black Men Health Challenge, which empowers communities through lifestyle modeling and education.
This document provides information about a partnership between several organizations to promote physical activity for refugees and vulnerable communities through sport.

Hello Samuel,
There are several ideas you have expressed in your post, which I support. First, I want to join you in your view that there is inadequate research on cultural diversity in sport psychology. The increasing population of diverse populations in sports in the United States, whereby many immigrants have been incorporated into sports and athletics, should be characterized by more research on cultural diversity to enable diverse players to understand how they can relate with their coach, fellow athletes, and sportsmen and women (Schinke & Moore, 2011). It is also important because it will ensure that all the affected parties understand and can interpret rules and regulations safeguarding sports in foreign countries. Many reports have shown that the United States is more diverse today, with a greater population of African players and athletes dominating the country.
Cultural diversity in sports has contributed to the current intense competition, innovation, and talented players and athletes in America. In your post, I agree that research on cultural diversity in sport psychology will ensure that sports psychologists gain an in-depth understanding of the athletes with whom they work. It is also key in demonstrating respect for and integration of cultural constructs in the treatment room (Ryba et al., 2013). Another important idea you have identified in your post is that intense research on cultural diversity in sport psychology is key because it helps sports psychologists maintain personal and professional self-awareness.
From your post, it is evident that a lack of research on cultural diversity in sport psychology can lead to an organization's lack of inclusive culture. This is mainly occurring due to a diverse organization that is not properly oriented and guided by organizational behaviors and culture (Gill & William, 2008). The resultant effect of a diverse culture is that it can change an organization's culture, which can make it miss its core values and general mandate.

Over 300 players between ages 3-12, and women ages 14-40, participated in the 11-week program. It included a soccer camp, weekly health topics, and pre-and post-physical assessments. The assessments showed that most age groups improved in at least one fitness area like endurance, flexibility, or core strength. The program was successful in promoting healthy lifestyle changes for participants.

This study reviewed 74 nutrition education intervention studies conducted between 2003-2012 that targeted community-dwelling older adults. Only 6 studies met the criteria for review. The studies reported favorable outcomes from the interventions. However, there was variability in study designs, measures, scope, and strategies used making it difficult to generalize results. Future studies on nutrition interventions for older adults could benefit from using stronger evaluation designs and conceptual models.

Communication Planning
Develop the Storyline (Meta-message)
The storyline represents the major conclusion one is trying to convey to policymakers
To develop messages consider the questions policymakers most often want answered
Is there a problem?
If so, is there a solution for the problem?
What do we do?
How much will it cost to solve the problem?
How does this help my constituents?
Will this make me look good (to the media, to my constituents, and to the powerful interests that shape my region)?

IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM: PHYSICAL INACTIVITY AND CONSEQUENCES
Importance of physical activity for disease prevention and health promotion is well established
Known health benefits include:
Prevention of risk factors related to cardiovascular disease
Improvements in functional health and mental health
Reduction in premature deaths
2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans established guidelines
Adults should participate weekly in at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity, 75 minutes of vigorous intensity ac.
Sports development aims to increase participation in sports for people of all abilities and interests. It is important as regular exercise provides health benefits like weight loss, stress relief, and reduced disease risk. However, many people do not participate in sports due to costs, lack of motivation, and accessibility. Sports development officers can address this by organizing affordable and accessible sessions at local leisure centers to introduce people to new sports and encourage regular participation.

These guidelines, developed in collaboration with specialists from universities and from national, federal, state, local, and voluntary agencies and organizations, are based on an in-depth review of research, theory, and best practices in healthy eating and physical activity promotion in school health, public health, and education. Because every guideline might not be appropriate or feasible for every school to implement, individual schools should determine which guidelines have the highest priority based on the needs of the school and available resources.

Qualitative data analysis allows researchers to explore context, perceptions, attitudes, and experiences. It is a complex process that follows the traditions of the selected methodology. The researcher moves from individual data units to an interpretation that addresses the research question. The process involves understanding the inductive or deductive approach, analyzing experiences and perspectives, sorting codes into categories, identifying themes, and presenting findings with narratives, visuals, and quotations to explain themes and relationships in the data.
The document provides guidance on designing an interview schedule. It recommends establishing the rationale and approach for the interviews, deciding whether interviews will be in-person, by phone, or video call. The format should be determined as structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. Main questions should be chosen that relate to the research topic, and prompts used to explore further. Consideration should be given to the context of participants and sensitivities. Analyzing the data inductively or deductively, themes and subthemes should be identified from the interviews.
Baker & Courtney 2017 GT-SROI methodology presentation Dec 2017i4h
A presentation by Dr Colin Baker and Paul Courtney (University of Gloucestershire) given at a seminar session which describes the application and development of an innovative methodology to assess the societal value of a health promotion intervention.
Assessing the value of community health programmes using sroii4h
Presented at the European Public Health Conference, 2017 (Baker, C. & Courtney, P.).
Contemporary theories and models applied in health promotion evaluation lack sensitivity with respect to recognising and accounting for the wider ecological context in which behaviour takes place. This leads to a deficit in knowledge concerning the nature and value of outcomes experienced by people at which programmes are targeted.
An evaluation framework was devised to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of physical activity and sport projects implemented via a two-year health promotion programme in the UK.
The Social Return on Investment framework provided a means of understand-ing and valuing the wider social changes of the health promotion programme and ensured the outcomes were grounded in the realities of the people who experienced and implemented the programme.
This represents an innovative approach that addresses some of the limitations of contemporary health promotion evaluation approaches.
Our conceptual framework helps to understand the wider societal impacts of health promotion interventions which are often neglected.

Gloucestershire Active Together Social Return on Investmenti4h
Gloucestershire County Council’s (GCC) Active Together (AT) programme aimed to help encourage more participation in sport and physical activity across the county and was open to a range of community groups, from sports clubs to scout groups and parish and town councils, and schools. In September 2014 the University of Gloucestershire was commissioned Public Health Gloucestershire to evaluate the AT programme as a means of establishing evidence of whether the programme was a good way of using funds to encourage greater participation in health enhancing activities. Using a mixed methods approach incorporating a Social Return on Investment framework the evaluation sought to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of projects implemented
with AT funding.
This slide Summary presents a summary of findings from an evaluation of the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) intervention to support mental health literacy among members of the Armed Forces community in the UK.
A mixed method evaluation included both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (observations, interviews, and focus groups) elements. The quantitative aspect of the evaluation involved the development of a pre- and post-training survey which assessed shifts in trainee (n=602) knowledge, attitudes, and confidence around mental health issues from pre-training to post-training, including a follow up survey 10 months after the course to establish whether the course had a sustainable impact. Of the 602 trainees who completed the initial survey, n=120 completed the follow-up survey.
The qualitative aspect of the evaluation comprised course observations (n= 13), semi-structured telephone interviews with trainees post-training (n=13), focus groups with trainers (n =14) and a focus group with an expert reference group (n=4).
Quantitative findings revealed that:
- immediately following training, from pre- to post-intervention (the training course) trainees showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Importantly, this effect was sustained at the 10 month follow-up.
- there was a small but significant decrease in knowledge which occurred from post training to follow-up. Despite the decrease from post training to follow-up, overall, knowledge, attitudes, and confidence were all significantly higher than at baseline.
Qualitative findings reported that trainees:
- increased their knowledge, understanding and confidence in talking about and communicating with people who have mental health issues;
- had improved listening skills, advice giving, and confidence in asking difficult questions regarding mental health issues.
Trainers reported:
- increased learning and confidence in understanding and managing mental health through the training experience;
- shared feeling with other trainers and trainees of wanting to support and help the promotion of mental health and its awareness in the Armed Forces community; and the need to manage military and civilian dynamics within the courses.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait.

Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.

1. Characteristics of Sports Fans in Relation to Lifestyle
Preferences
Dr. Elizabeth A. Loughren, Dr. Colin Baker, Joseph W. Spry and Dr. Orla Flannery
University of Gloucestershire, UK
Aim
Rationale
To assess physical activity, health and well-being preferences of football, rugby, cricket and horseracing fans.
Targeting sport fans provides a unique means of engaging people in healthy lifestyle programmes but more evidence is needed concerning
how to support participants’ sustained attendance.
Background
In the UK, the proportion who are categorised as obese
increased from 13% of men (1993) to 24% (2012) and from
16% of women (1993) to 25% (2012), and it is predicted that
60% of adult men and 50% of adult women will be classified
as obese by 2050 (1, 2)
Costs attributable to obesity are projected to reach £9.7
billion per year by 2050 (3)
Only 36% of adults participate in 30 minutes of moderate
intensity sport once a week (2)
There is an increasing focus on strategies that seek to
promote health through sport and physical activity (4)
Sports club settings provide a potential means of engaging
sports fans via multidisciplinary community based health
promotion strategies (5, 6)

Methods
Participant Recruitment
A purposive and opportunistic sample of fans from England
and sport types (football, rugby union, rugby league, cricket
and horse racing) was established.
Survey
An online survey through sports team websites, forums,
online newsletters, social media, and gate surveys in
conjunction with match and race day events was conducted
between April-December 2013.
Results
Of the 246 total responses 172 (70%) (n = 117 males, 55
females) ranging in age from 18-69 (M=34.43; SD=13.48)
indicated an interest in joining a healthy lifestyle
programme geared around sport fans.
Overall most fans (92.4%) felt support from players/sport
professionals would attract them to the programme.
Males placed more emphasis on heart health, mental health
and stress.
Respondents indicated that key programme components
should include: physical activity; weight management;
heart health; diet, and health checks.
The majority of the respondents owned a smart phone and
agreed an app could support them to become healthier.
While cost and a lack of time were cited as the main
barriers, respondents felt their family, friends, and local
facilities could assist most in leading a healthier lifestyle.
