A total of 240 adults (aged 18-80) will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the ecofit intervention or a 'wait-list' control group. Both groups will have access to the two types of outdoor park exercise equipment, but the intervention group will be given access to the purpose-built ecofit app and a 90-min introductory group training session. To promote social support, participants can enrol in a group of up to four individuals and access the ecofit Facebook group. The ecofit app include workout plans that can be tailored to different locations, difficulty levels and workout-types (i.e., resistance-only or combined resistance and aerobic workouts). Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3- (primary-end point) and 9-months follow-up. The primary outcomes are upper and lower body muscular fitness. The secondary outcomes include physical activity, body composition, aerobic fitness, body mass index, self-report resistance-based physical activity, and mental health outcomes. The cost-effectiveness of the study will also be evaluated. Discussion: ecofit is an innovative, multi-component physical activity intervention that integrates smartphone technology, social support and the outdoor built environment to promote community-based aerobic and resistance-based physical. The findings will be used to guide future interventions and to support councils to promote community-based physical activity through the use of local outdoor exercise equipment.

Therefore, we sought to recommend conceptual frameworks that can be used to design, inform, and evaluate implementation of physical activity (PA) and nutrition interventions at different stages of the program life cycle. We also sought to recommend a minimum data set of implementation outcome and determinant variables (indicators) as well as measures and tools deemed most relevant for PA and nutrition researchers. Methods: We adopted a five-round modified Delphi methodology. For rounds 1, 2, and 3 we administered online surveys to PA and nutrition implementation scientists to generate a rank order list of most commonly used; i) implementation and scale-up frameworks, ii) implementation indicators, and iii) implementation and scale-up measures and tools. Measures and tools were excluded after round 2 as input from participants was very limited. For rounds 4 and 5, we conducted two in-person meetings with an expert group to create a shortlist of implementation and scale-up frameworks, identify a minimum data set of indicators and to discuss application and relevance of frameworks and indicators to the field of PA and nutrition. Results: The two most commonly referenced implementation frameworks were the Framework for Effective Implementation and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. We provide the 25 most highly ranked implementation indicators reported by those who participated in rounds 1–3 of the survey. From these, the expert group created a recommended minimum data set of implementation determinants (n = 10) and implementation outcomes (n = 5) and reconciled differences in commonly used terms and definitions. Conclusions: Researchers are confronted with myriad options when conducting implementation and scale-up evaluations. Thus, we identified and prioritized a list of frameworks and a minimum data set of indicators that have potential to improve the quality and consistency of evaluating implementation and scale-up of PA and nutrition interventions. Advancing our science is predicated upon increased efforts to develop a common ‘language’ and adaptable measures and tools.]]> Thu 12 Nov 2020 18:13:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49323 Thu 11 May 2023 15:00:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35807 Thu 05 Dec 2019 09:16:09 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:8458 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:38:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15354 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:25:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17252 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:26 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26835 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27869 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:10 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55788 Sat 22 Jun 2024 12:47:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38387 200) deemed 'hazardous' by the Australian Department of Health did children's physical activity decline.

The incremental cost per additional minute of physical activity scheduled per week was $27 per school (Uncertainty Interval $24, $31). Conclusions: PACE can be successfully delivered across multiple regions and to a large number of schools. Given the ongoing and scalable benefits of PACE, it is important that we continue to extend and improve this program while considering ways to reduce the associated cost.]]> Mon 25 Sep 2023 10:58:56 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54973 Mon 25 Mar 2024 15:20:10 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42348 Mon 22 Aug 2022 13:54:50 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17551 Mon 06 Apr 2020 12:14:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55450 Mon 03 Jun 2024 08:38:51 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34946 Mon 02 Dec 2019 15:21:09 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53103 Fri 17 Nov 2023 12:15:19 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47229 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:01:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54842 Fri 15 Mar 2024 14:38:56 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36393 Fri 11 Aug 2023 16:47:31 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55251 2 years. Our focus was physical activity and nutrition programs for obesity prevention. We identified programs through published literature and searched through publicly available information on the theoretical factors determining sustainment. We reviewed 90 programs and explored intervention characteristics, provider, delivery and process level factors, and the outer environment influences. Programs were sustained on average 15 years and more frequently characterised as behavioural change skills programs targeting children, funded by non-government organisations and delivered by community organisations. Most programs had undergone some modification (n = 55). Differences between programs were observed across key factors: Programs sustained 15+ years were mainly behaviour skills programs (n = 21); and characterised by interactive designs (i.e., face-to-face or digital) over static innovations (i.e., print material) compared with those sustained <15 years (p = 0.024). While government funding supported many of the programs (n = 45;), those sustained 15+ years were more likely to have been commercially funded (p = 0.044); and were less likely to have current community involvement (p = 0.013). Differences in ownership and funding were also observed across countries. While multiple factors may influence program sustainment, longer delivered programs where distinguished by their program characteristics and outer contextual factors, suggesting such factors may have an important role in sustaining programs in the longer-term.]]> Fri 03 May 2024 09:39:45 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49825 Fri 02 Jun 2023 16:24:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51361 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:41:53 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51360 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:41:32 AEST ]]>
