Creating a sporting habit for life
1. Community Engagement

• Embedding projects within other community activities can be
a critical recruitment tool
• Tailored marketing
• Community boundaries
• Social bonding approaches

2. Screening and Monitoring

• Accessing follow up data is a challenge
• Real time evaluation
17
Creating a sporting habit for life
3. Project Development
• Community insight

18
Creating a sporting habit for life
4. Insight from Projects
One project identified 4 key themes to understand inactivity:
1) memories of sport
2) attitudes to sport
3) experiencing sport and physical activity
4) hooks and triggers for sport
19
Creating a sporting habit for life 20
More informal,

sessions
Sessions
that are
lead by
“someone

Anxiety & lack of
confidence of
exceeding
physical
limitations
Understanding
what is not
working &
adapting delivery
Supporting
families to be
together
Creating a sporting habit for life
5. Working with the NHS
• Early involvement of GPs is critical
• Important to be realistic about what can be implemented through Primary
Care
• Delivery to date suggests that embedding sport/activity into health
settings is more effective than embedding health into sport sessions
• Attending GP Locality meetings and training
• Patient records can be a useful recruitment tool - be aware of over
estimating patients
• Perceptions of health professionals can skew which activities they
refer/signpost too
• Referral league tables can encourage “healthy” competition 21
Creating a sporting habit for life
Training Health Professionals
• 1/5 were aware of the current UK physical activity guidelines
• Majority acknowledged that it’s their role to promote physical activity
• Main reason for not discussing physical activity with patients is lack of
time
• 76% of Primary Care Staff felt more confident in advising patients post
training
• Adapt training to meet the needs of health professionals
22
Creating a sporting habit for life
6. Partnerships
• Consistency and quality of communications
• MOU’s and SLAs to agree delivery can aid projects
• Local turbulence in structures and staff capacity has been a
challenge
• Compromise
• Political support can boost project visibility
• Widening partnerships
23
Creating a sporting habit for life
8. Delivery of Sessions
• Seasonality
• Fitness, walking, running, cycling and
swimming most popular
• Working with volunteers takes time!
• Take activities to existing groups
• Local Sports club capacity to deliver
can be a challenge
• Low baseline levels of fitness can
make pitching the sessions at the right
level difficult
25
Creating a sporting habit for life
Principles for Developing your Project
• Undertake, utilise and continually gain insight
• Use MOU’s and SLAs to aid project governance
• Consider how Activators, Mentors, buddies and
champions can add value to you delivery
• Sessions must be adaptive and based on needs.
Activity provision should fit the individual, not fitting
the individual to existing provision
• Think through effective and efficient ways to get
follow up data
26
Creating a sporting habit for life
Principles cont.
• Consider the training and support needs of
coaches
• Be realistic about what can be delivered
through primary care
• Continue to build partnerships throughout
delivery.
• Utilise real time evaluation to maximise impact
and enable efficiencies.

Target Setting Case Study: County

38
Creating a sporting habit for life
Target Setting Case Study: UKActive
39
Learning from Previous delivery
Understand the pool of patients who will benefit from
the offer. Ukactive model is 25% of patient list
Consider conversion rates of how many patients will take up the offer of a brief intervention.
Ukactive model is 10 - 13%.
Consider how you will make the offer and get those converted
to attend their first session
Consider what resources you will have available and the costs associated with initial
appoinments
Consider how many patients are likely to be a No show. How
will you minimise this? PH interventions tend to have approximately 30% DNAs
Consider how you will capture the outcomes including follow
up data.
Consider how can you maximise efficiencies in the system to provide the most cost effective delivery of the
outcomes.
Use Live monitoring data to tweak your delivery model and
make improvements where needed.
