Untitled. Do physical activity interventions in Indigenous people in Australia and New Zealand improve activity levels and health outcomes? A systematic review. Through database searching 407 records were retrieved, all of which were published in English.
Five additional records were identified through backward [39] and forward citation tracking [40, 41, 42, 43] and three through searching the grey literature. After removing duplicates, 287 records were screened and 17 articles were initially considered eligible. Reasons for the exclusion of articles included studies that were based on animal research, were not conducted in Australia or New Zealand or did not have any physical activity components, e.g. a nutrition only intervention. After further consideration, the three studies from the grey literature were excluded due to insufficient information on, and lack of, comparability of pre and post measures of physical activity or health outcomes [44, 45, 46]. Figure 1 shows the flow diagram of the study selection process. Appraisal of Study Quality Population. Focus on: local delivery pilots.

Youth. Informal Participation + Social Leagues. Asian communities. Muslim girls using fencing to break stereotypes. Muslim Girls Fence is a bold project that's tackling head-on the stigmatisation faced by Muslims and girls that do sport.
The fencing classes have empowered the schoolgirls, helped them grow in confidence and, as one said, shows “we are all the same”. Running at Frederick Bremer School in Walthamstow, east London, the pilot project’s weekly sessions are run by former Commonwealth Games fencer Linda Strachan. It is led by Maslaha – a non-governmental organisation tackling issues that affect Muslim communities – which holds weekly discussions with the girls around their identities and the day-to-day challenges they face. “People think Muslims are dangerous, they’re terrorists, their parents are strict, they can’t do sport,” says participant Sarah.

Time scarcity is a slippery slope to inactivity. Even though most Australians know we need to exercise more, many of us don’t.
Our recent study suggests this is often due to diminishing availability of time. We found that among otherwise healthy people, becoming time poor, rushing or feeling time pressed increases new cases of extreme inactivity – exercising less than 30 minutes a week – one to two years later. This occurred for around 5% of our study population. Decreasing income exacerbated inactivity due to rising time pressure. In people who became both time and income poor, one in five of them became extremely inactive. Mind, the mental health charity - help for mental health problems.
Can action sports help make a better world? What can we learn from England about getting active and moving more? In 2014, Public Health England worked with more than 1,000 individuals and organisations to develop a national physical activity framework, Everybody Active, Every Day.
They also released an overview of the evidence on interventions to increase physical activity and a toolkit for MPs. This encouraged politicians to lead by example – in being both a role model as well as an advocate; for example, for active transport, for encouraging workplaces to support activity, and for care homes to support older people to stay active. Two years later, an update on the framework’s implementation reported encouraging results. Between 2013 and 2015, it said there had been a statistically significant one percent increase in the proportion of the population across local areas achieving the recommended 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each week.
“This represents over half a million more people whose health and wellbeing is benefiting from being active every day. Basketball NZ wins innovation excellence award - NZ Herald.
