The authors conducted focus group interviews with teac…

  • Implementation of physically active lessons

    Open AccessIngrid Skage, Sigrun K Ertesvåg et al.ARTICLEEvaluation and Program Planning2020

    Combining physical activity and academic content is a promising way to improve health and academic learning in schoolchildren. This paper examined the continuation of physically active lessons (PAL) in five Norwegian elementary schools, two years after a 10-month intervention period, which consisted of weekly minimum 2 x 45 min of PAL. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine teachers and five school leaders. The Level of …

  • Initiation and maintenance of lifestyle changes among participants in a healthy life centre

    Open AccessCille H Sevild, Christopher P Niemiec et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The current study enhanced an understanding of the initiation and maintenance of lifestyle changes, although these processes were not disentangled in participants' experiences. In line with self-determination theory, the results suggested that lifestyle change is more likely to be initiated and maintained when goals are not only achievable but also regulated with autonomous motivation and of intrinsic value. Conversely, lifestyle change is diffic…

If physically active lessons was to be prioritised by headteachers it is very important to communicate thoroughly to the headteachers what the schools can achieve by implementing physically active lessons and how the innovation aligns with school policies and goals. Given the flexibility inherent in physically active lessons …

    INTRODUCTION: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is one of the most widely used questionnaires to assess physical activity (PA). Validation studies for the IPAQ have been executed, but still there is a need for studies comparing absolute values between IPAQ and accelerometer in large population studies. PURPOSE: To compare PA and sedentary time from the self-administered, short version of the IPAQ with data from ActiGraph ac…
