Lifestyle trajectories of boys and girls during the transition to secondary school in British Columbia, Canada, before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
The transition to secondary school was associated with less healthy lifestyles, with variations by gender and pandemic exposure. To develop targeted interventions that promote positive habits during this critical life stage, it is necessary to identify the mechanisms driving these changes, as they may also reflect other developmental or environmental influences coinciding with the transition. Importantly, interventions should also address behavio…
Scalability and scaling-up strategy of a physical activity policy intervention in Australian childcare centres
There is an urgent need for scalable interventions to promote physical activity in early childhood. An early childhood education and care (ECEC) physical activity policy intervention with implementation support strategies (Play Active) has been proposed for scale-up in Australia. This study sought to assess the scalability of Play Active and describe the Play Active scaling-up strategy. The Intervention Scalability Assessment Tool was used to ass…
Fostering early adolescent health and planetary well-being through nature
Becoming nature ‘literate’ may promote nature engagement in early adolescence, supporting both health and well-being, while nurturing a sense of environmental stewardship. This study aimed to advance the formative research necessary for the development of a nature-based literacy framework including a set of indicators specific to its measurement during early adolescence. An e-Delphi study design was used with an expert panel comprised of internat…
The Implementation of a Blended In-Person and Online Family-Based Childhood Obesity Management Program
The EIP was highly acceptable and feasible for families and delivery partners, but recruitment, attendance, and online engagement were implementation challenges. Program adjustments are recommended prior to scale-up. These strengths and limitations can help to inform other multi-site childhood healthy living interventions
Latent Profile Analysis of Children’s Active Physical Recreation Patterns in Middle Childhood
Understanding factors that influence physical activity participation in middle childhood is essential for developing effective interventions. To date, many studies have contributed valuable knowledge on the individual, or person-centered, factors that influence participation, such as motor competence and perceived motor competence. However, there is an increasing body of literature in support of exploring participation through a broader lens, con…
Perceptions Matter! Active Physical Recreation Participation of Children with High and Low Actual and Perceived Physical Competence
Emerging evidence suggests that the accuracy of a child's perceived physical competence (PPC) impacts participation in physical activity. We examined differences in active physical recreation (APR) participation based on clusters of high and low motor competence and perceptions from grades 3-5. Participants were a longitudinal sample ( n = 155; 85 girls) of grade three, four, and five children. Fundamental motor skills (FMSs) were assessed using …
Scaling up healthy eating in early childhood education and care
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the dissemination of the healthy eating component of Appetite to Play at scale using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Design: The Appetite to Play capacity-building intervention is a set of evidence-informed implementation strategies aimed at enhancing the adoption of recommended practices for promoting healthy eating and active play in early ye…
Implementing active play standards
With an increasing number of children attending regular early childhood education and care (ECEC), this setting presents an opportunity to develop physical activity habits and movement skills of children. These behaviours play an important role in the development and well-being of children. In 2017, an Active Play Standard was introduced in British Columbia, Canada, to mandate practices related to physical activity, screen time and movement skill…
Piloting the Virtual PLAYshop Program
The PLAYshop program is a parent-focused physical literacy intervention for early childhood. This single-group mixed-methods pilot study aimed to explore the feasibility of virtually delivering and assessing the PLAYshop program. The virtual PLAYshop program included a virtual workshop, resources/basic equipment, and two booster emails (3-week and 6-week follow-up). Data on 34 preschool-aged children (3-5 years) and their parents from Edmonton an…

Factors associated with physical activity policy and practice implementation in British Columbia’s childcare settings
A hierarchy of theoretically defined factors influenced childcare providers' implementation of the AP Standards in BC. Future research should test the feasibility of modifying these factors to improve the implementation of PA policy and practice interventions in this setting
Physical Literacy for Communities (PL4C)
Although most of our sample was physically active and showed higher adherence to 24-H movement guidelines than comparable population data, the motor competence and self-perceived PL of our sample were similar to those of previous studies. PL has an independent association with children's internalizing problems and total difficulties. Ongoing assessment will investigate the relationships between PL and children's mental health from a longitudinal …
Training Pre-Service Early Childhood Educators in Physical Activity (Teach)
The TEACH study represents a novel, evidence-informed approach to address the existing gap in physical activity and sedentary behaviour-related education in Canadian post-secondary early childhood education programs. Moreover, e-Learning platforms, can be employed as an innovative, standardized, and scalable way to provide ECEs with consistent training across jurisdictions

Change in pre- and in-service early childhood educators’ knowledge, self-efficacy, and intentions following an e-learning course in physical activity and sedentary behaviour
These findings provide preliminary evidence of the potential efficacy of the e-Learning course at improving ECEs' knowledge, self-efficacy, behavioural intention, and perceived behavioural control to support PA and minimize SB in childcare. Following the success of the pilot study, testing the effectiveness of the TEACH e-Learning course on a larger scale, with a comparison group, is warranted prior to recommending broader dissemination of the tr…
Does an active play standard change childcare physical activity and healthy eating policies? A natural policy experiment
Approximately a year after the implementation of a governmental policy targeting PA supported by a capacity-building initiative, childcare centers reported positive changes in all 9 PA/sedentary policies examined, all 3 out of 7 PA/sedentary practices and 9 out of 11 HE policies evaluated at the center-level

With emerging evidence about the efficacy of policy and capacity-building strategies, more information about how to bring these strategies to scale is needed. This paper describes implementation at scale of Appetite to Play (ATP), a capacity-building intervention for childcare providers, and examines the implementation and impact on early ye…
Prevalence and Relationships among Physical Activity Policy, Environment, and Practices in Licensed Childcare Centers from a Manager and Staff Perspective
Physical activity (PA) is critical to early childhood health and development, and childcare is a key setting for establishing physically active play. In British Columbia (BC), a provincial standard for active play in childcare was enacted, identified here as the Active Play (AP) standard. Pragmatic constraints limit real-world data collection for evaluating policy impact. We explored whether information about policies, practices, and the environm…
Individual and Environmental Factors Associated with Participation in Physical Activity as Adolescents Transition to Secondary School
The transition from elementary to secondary school is an emotionally and socially complex time when adverse behaviors appear, such as decreased levels of physical activity (PA). Behavioral and environmental factors that influence PA during this time are poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors that influence PA as adolescents transition to secondary school. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of 27 ethnically div…
A Pragmatic Feasibility Trial Examining the Effect of Job Embedded Professional Development on Teachers’ Capacity to Provide Physical Literacy Enriched Physical Education in Elementary Schools
A gap in physical literacy (PL) oriented professional development (PD) for generalist teachers exists and thus their capacity to develop PL and maximize student health is potentially limited. We explored the feasibility of a novel job-embedded professional development (JEPD) program (10 weeks) and its impact on teachers' capacity to deliver PL-enriched physical education (PE) and student PL. A pragmatic feasibility trial with mixed methods includ…

Associations between socioeconomic, parental and home environment factors and fruit and vegetable consumption of children in grades five and six in British Columbia, Canada
The majority of children in our study were not meeting guidelines for FV intake irrespective of SES, parent perceptions or home environment, making this a population wide concern. An almost trivial socio-economic gradient was observed for the child-reported SES measure only. These results are consistent with several other studies of children. Longitudinal research is needed to further explore individual and social factors associated with FV consu…

Nature Elements and Fundamental Motor Skill Development Opportunities at Five Elementary School Districts in British Columbia
Extensive naturescapes (multiple nature elements in one setting) were not common, and natural elements were limited, ranging from 1.97 to 5.71 elements/school. The most common element was a forested area (26.5% of all natural elements identified). In comparison to built structures, the number of natural elements was low. Some elements differed between school districts and appeared to be related to local geography and terrain (hilly, rocky terrain…
The Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Patterns of Children in Kindergarten and Grade 2
