Acceptability and feasibility of single-component primary school physical activity interventions to inform the AS:Sk project

Taylor, Sarah L.; Noonan, Robert J.; Knowles, Zoe R.; McGrane, Bronagh; Curry, Whitney B.; Fairclough, Stuart J. (MDPI, 2018)

Multi-component school-based interventions provide physical activity (PA) opportunities for children but are often difficult for schools to execute and may not be implemented as intended. The primary aim of this study was ...
Adiposity, fitness, health-related quality of life and the reallocation of time between children's school day activity behaviours: a compositional data analysis

Fairclough, Stuart J.; Dumuid, Dorothea; Mackintoshd, Kelly A.; Stonee, Genevieve; Dagger, Rebecca; Stratton, Gareth; Davies, Ian; Boddy, Lynne M. (Elsevier, 2018)

Sedentary time (ST), light (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) constitute the range of school day activity behaviours. This study investigated whether the composition of school activity behaviours was ...
Context matters! sources of variability in weekend physical activity among families: a repeated measures study

Noonan, Robert J.; Fairclough, Stuart J.; Knowles, Zoe R.; Boddy, Lynne M. (BioMed Central, 2017)

Background: Family involvement is an essential component of effective physical activity (PA) interventions in children. However, little is known about the PA levels and characteristics of PA among families. This study used ...
Cross-sectional associations between body mass index and social-emotional wellbeing among differentially active children

Noonan, Robert J.; Fairclough, Stuart J. (Oxford University Press, 2018)

Background: This study assessed gender-specific associations between BMI and social-emotional wellbeing (SEW) among differentially active 7-year-old children. Methods: Data is from wave four of the UK Millennium Cohort ...
The effectiveness of school-based physical activity interventions for adolescent girls: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Owen, Michael B.; Curry, Whitney B.; Kerner, Charlotte; Newson, Lisa; Fairclough, Stuart J. (Elsevier, 2017)

Physical activity (PA) decreases during the transition from childhood to adolescence, with larger declines observed in girls. School-based interventions are considered the most promising approach for increasing adolescents' ...
Evaluation of a pilot school-based physical activity clustered randomised controlled trial—active schools: skelmersdale

Taylor, Sarah L.; Noonan, Robert J.; Knowles, Zoe R.; Owen, Michael B.; McGrane, Bronagh; Curry, Whitney B.; Fairclough, Stuart J. (MDPI, 2018)

Schools are key environments in which physical activity (PA) can be promoted. Various strategies and opportunities should be used to engage children in PA within schools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ...
The feasibility of a novel school peer-led mentoring model to improve the physical activity levels and sedentary time of adolescent girls: the girls peer activity (G-PACT) project

Owen, Michael B.; Kerner, Charlotte; Taylor, Sarah L.; Noonan, Robert J.; Newson, Lisa; Kosteli, Maria-Christina; Curry, Whitney B.; Fairclough, Stuart J. (MDPI, 2018)

Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with numerous physical and psychological health benefits. Adolescents, specifically girls, are at risk of physical inactivity. To date, there is limited research on PA ...
Fitness, fatness and the reallocation of time between children’s daily movement behaviours: an analysis of compositional data

Fairclough, Stuart J.; Dumuid, Dorothea; Taylor, Sarah L.; Curry, Whitney B.; McGrane, Bronagh; Stratton, Gareth; Maher, Carol A.; Olds, Timothy (BioMed Central, 2017)

Background: Movement behaviours performed over a finite period such as a 24 h day are compositional data. Compositional data exist in a constrained simplex geometry that is incongruent with traditional multivariate analytical ...
A non-equivalent group pilot trial of a school-based physical activity and fitness intervention for 10–11 year old english children: born to move

Fairclough, Stuart J.; McGrane, Bronagh; Sanders, George J.; Taylor, Sarah L.; Owen, Michael B.; Curry, Whitney B. (BioMed Central, 2016)

Background: PE lessons are the formal opportunity in schools for promotion of physical activity and fitness. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot PE intervention on physical activity, fitness, and ...
Predictors of segmented school day physical activity and sedentary time in children from a northwest England low-income community

Taylor, Sarah L.; Curry, Whitney B.; Knowles, Zoe R.; Noonan, Robert J.; McGrane, Bronagh; Fairclough, Stuart J. (MDPI, 2017)

Background: Schools have been identified as important settings for health promotion through physical activity participation, particularly as children are insufficiently active for health. The aim of this study was to ...
Predisposing, reinforcing and enabling factors for physical activity in boys and girls from socially disadvantaged communities

Noonan, Robert J.; Boddy, Lynne M.; Knowles, Zoe R.; Fairclough, Stuart J. (SAGE Publications, 2018)

Objective: This study investigated relative associations between physical activity and selected predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors among 9-10 year-old children from socially disadvantaged communities, and ...
Process evaluation of a pilot multicomponent physical activity intervention –active schools: Skelmersdale

Taylor, Sarah L.; Noonan, Robert J.; Knowles, Zoe R.; Owen, Michael B.; Fairclough, Stuart J. (BMC, 2018)

Background: Schools have been identified as key environments to promote child physical activity (PA). Implementation of multi-component PA interventions within schools is advocated but research has showed that they may ...
Using formative research with older adults to inform a community physical activity programme: get healthy get active

Sanders, George J.; Roe, Brenda; Knowles, Zoe R.; Kaehne, Axel; Fairclough, Stuart J. (Cambridge University Press, 2019)

Aim: The purpose of this formative study was to explore current knowledge and attitudes towards physical activity, as well as perceived barriers, facilitators and opportunities for physical activity participation among ...
