  3. A Settings Approach Promoting Physical Activity: Settings Based Approaches

  4. A Settings Approach The three key settings for physical activity behaviour change include: • Schools • Workplaces • Community There are multiple types/levels of influence on PA behaviours: • Intrapersonal factors • Social/cultural factors • Physical environments • Policies are usually needed to change physical environments VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  5. Target domains for PA interventions Social Interpersonal Physical Environment Policy VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  7. School Link programs to community programs Active yard-duty where teachers are active role models for students Peer-lead programs where students organise and run activities for other students Play music in a designated dancing area Community Establish walking groups for different age groups Mass media campaign to increase awareness of community programs and facilities Workplace Encourage staff to park further away form building Introduce lunchtime walking groups Schedule active meetings (eg walk and talk about a concept) Introduce one day per week that is casual clothes day to encourage people to be active Organise a ride to work day Enter a work team into a sporting competition Social & Interpersonal VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  8. School Install bicycle racks and secure lock up facilities Introduce traffic calming on active transport routes to school Introduce wall and line markings Install activity prompts- courts, basketball rings, goals, gymnasiums, activity areas, playground equipment, cubby houses, hills, logs, trees Community Increase aesthetics of parks & walking trails Increased access to walking trails to specific destinations such as shops, post office, parks, schools, etc Introduce facilities specific for different age groups and cultural interests (eg skate parks and lawn bowls or bocce) Publish distances to walk specific destinations on signs Physical Environment VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  9. Displaying motivational or informative posters, signage or brochures about the benefits of physical activity and some tips on getting active; Promoting and encouraging employees to use the stairs.  Use the ‘footprint’ stickers to guide people toward the stairs rather than walking straight to the lift; Promote ‘walking meetings’, lunch-time walks and 5-10 minute walk breaks during the day Providing bicycle racks or alternative secure bicycle storage to encourage people to cycle to work; Providing information on local opportunities for physical activity; Publicising physical activity opportunities through email, company intranet or websites, links to the be active website, noticeboards and newsletters; Purchasing corporate memberships of local fitness centres.  Some local fitness centres offer attractive corporate packages which allow employees reduced membership rates; Providing on-site facilities such as gyms (this may be an option for large employers); Providing showers, change room facilities and lockers for those who wish to cycle, walk or jog to work or participate in more vigorous activities in and around the working day; Supporting sports and physical activity clubs such as social football and netball teams, and walking and jogging groups; and Encouraging employees to form corporate teams for events such as Corporate Cup, the be activetour and the Masters Games.

  10. Policy School • Mandated minimum time allocation for PE & sport in Government schools • Allocated play spaces for various year levels within the school ground • Ensure there is activity equipment monitors allocated during breaks Community • Consider the provision of active transport routes and access to green space in urban planning of new developments Workplace • Subsidise health club memberships for employees. • Reduce insurance rates for active and fit employees VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  12. School Setting-based Programs Promoting Physical Activity: Settings Based Approaches

  13. Schools play a major role in shaping children’s attitudes towards PA and living an active lifestyle. Schools encourage lifelong patterns of PA. School based programs are; Moderately effective People who participated in these programs are more likely to be active for life. Print material and school curriculum appears to be the most effective methods. Active after schools program http://www.ausport.gov.au/aasc/index.asp However PA decreases as students during the secondary years due to a crowded curriculum and student subject choices. Schools can increase PA by; Following government recommendations for time allocated to PE. Providing sufficient sports equipment and facilities / public use. Promoting school sporting events School Settings VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  14. In and out of school community links extra curricula initiatives policy change What intervention strategies could we do at our school? more equipment School sports participation active transport activity reducing sedentary behaviour active family programs VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  15. The Walking School Bus Program is a VicHealth initiative that’s giving communities an effective and easy way to get children walking to school again. Today in Victoria nearly one-third of all children spend less than 5 minutes walking per day. Inactive children are more likely to be overweight – with the proportion of Australian children who are in this category now reaching 25%. Walking to and from school gives children the opportunity to engage in regular physical activity. More than 58 Victorian councils have implemented Walking School Bus programs. At least 3200 primary school students from more than 200 primary schools use the Walking School Bus to get to school, with the help of 800 volunteers.  The ‘buses’ have become a very positive part of school and community life and offer many health, environmental and safety benefits. Walking School Bus programs can be implemented by schools with the help of your local council.  Walking School Bus VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  18. Workplace Setting-based Programs Promoting Physical Activity: Settings Based Approaches

  19. Promotion of PA at work assists with; Improved morale Increased work productivity Reduced ‘sickies’ Less feeling of being stressed Reduced staff turn over Improved community relations Difficulties include; Lack of interest at management level The size of the organisation Facilities available Lack of support or interest from workers Workplace Settings Tips for being more active • Take the stairs instead of the lift • Go for a walk at lunch time • Get off the bus, train or tram one stop early and walk the rest of the way • Park the car 15 minutes away and walk the rest of the way • Get together with some workmates and form a sports team VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  20. Example - Stair use Interventions Research on improvements to stairs: • Improved lighting • Music • Carpet & motivational pictures • Point of decision signs • Signs- the wealth is health- take the stairs • No waiting one door over- take the stairs Findings • Almost 10% increase in stair use of a 5 floor building VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

  22. Community Setting-based Programs Promoting Physical Activity: Settings Based Approaches

  23. A ‘community’ refers to local groups of people, whole cities or whole nations. Strengthening the communities knowledge and interest in the benefits of physical activity is therefore vital. Possible local influences: Urban design (Town planners) Road characteristics (Transportation) Stairwell characteristics (Architects) Park characteristics (Recreation, landscape architects Crime (Justice & law enforcement Community strategies include; Developing local facilities Use of community venues that encourage physical activity Free health checks at shopping centres Educative sessions for community members on health issues.
