  5. attitudes and feelings towards physical activity • Young people perceive that they have a lack of time for physical activity • Some young people are apathetic towards physical activity • Lack of a physical activity habit is an issue • Lack of confidence, particular issue for teenage girls. They do not believe they are good enough. Compounded by issues related to self-consciousness and body image • For some, to improve body image can be a motivating force though • Young people understand that physical activity offers health benefits • Competition is important for some young people • Learning & achievement can be a motivating force

  9. strategic planning to support increasing physical activity • Positive policy context but challenging environmental context in which to increase physical activity levels • Capacity building providers is important: • Alignment of motivations • Helping them meet demand • Access more volunteers / staff and facilities • There is a need to evidence impact on physical activity levels and for the pooling of information on physical activity behaviour to support an informed planning approach • The young person’s ‘user journey’ is not clear if they are not ‘sporty’. To improve this user experience requires coordination of provision across services and organisations

  10. workshop Discuss in groups: • Are there any solutions missing to deliver the recommendation? • How can the solutions be delivered locally? • For each recommendation, which solution(s) are the priority for implementation? Consider: • Different elements of the supply chain e.g. leisure centres, play services, schools, children’s centres, youth clubs • Pro-Active Islington’s existing strategy actions
