Suitability of School, Community and Workplace Settings for Physical Activity Interventions Promoting Physical Activity: Settings Based Approaches
Family Settings Family is a primary influence on child and adolescent health behaviours. Parent’s play a key role in stimulating children’s interest in physical activities. Parents need to be active role models for their children. Transport Settings Cars and public transport are the most common methods of transport. These methods require little physical activity. Transport should involve some level of activity. Examples; Walk or ride to work/school, park further away from work/school, get of the tram a stop earlier and walk.
