Journal Article
Jago, R., Tibbitts, B., Porter, A., Sanderson, E., Bird, E., Powell, J., …Sebire, S. (2019). A revised teaching assistant-led extracurricular physical activity programme for 8- to 10-year-olds: The Action 3:30R feasibility cluster RCT. Public Health Research, 7(19), 1-158. https://doi.org/10.3310/phr07190

Abstract Background Many children do not meet the recommended guidelines for physical activity (PA). The after-school period may be a critical time for children to participate in PA. Teaching assistants are important within the school system and c...

General practice referral of ‘at risk’ populations to community leisure services: Applying the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the impact of a community-based physical activity programme for inactive adults with long-term conditions (2019)
Journal Article
Bird, E., Biddle, M., & Powell, J. (2019). General practice referral of ‘at risk’ populations to community leisure services: Applying the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the impact of a community-based physical activity programme for inactive adults with long-term conditions. BMC Public Health, 19(1), Article 1308. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7701-5

Background: In the UK a high proportion of adults with long-term conditions do not engage in regular physical activity. General practice (GP) referral to community-based physical activity is one strategy that has gained traction in recent years. Howe...

Action 3:30R: Process evaluation of a cluster randomised feasibility study of a revised teaching assistant-led extracurricular physical activity intervention for 8 to 10 year olds (2019)
Journal Article
Tibbitts, B., Porter, A., Sebire, S., Bird, E., Sanderson, E., Metcalfe, C., …Jago, R. (2019). Action 3:30R: Process evaluation of a cluster randomised feasibility study of a revised teaching assistant-led extracurricular physical activity intervention for 8 to 10 year olds. BMC Public Health, 19(1), Article 1111. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7347-3

Background: Numerous interventions to increase children's physical activity levels are published, yet, few studies report indicators of external validity. Process evaluations are critical for assessing intervention implementation, sustainability and...

Action 3:30R: Results of a cluster randomised feasibility study of a revised teaching assistant-led extracurricular physical activity intervention for 8 to 10 year olds. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 16(1), 131. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph16010131

Many children are not sufficiently physically active. We conducted a cluster-randomised feasibility trial of a revised after-school physical activity (PA) programme delivered by trained teaching assistants (TAs) to assess the potential evidence of pr...
