1/4 NEW PAPER in @IJERPH with @Russ_Jago @Simon_Sebire @ruthkipping @UoBrisHEB @Kandibex @UoBrisSPS @BristolUniCPH exploring the perspectives of strategic stakeholders on school-based physical activity interventions in UK: https://t.co/r6GQ1tXi9C

[Byron Tibbitts @b_tib]

4/4 Three key working areas recommended: Look at how school culture can and needs to be shifted to be more physical activity supportive, co-create and customise by school to make implementation viable, and build relationships beyond the school gates to enhance sustainability

1/4 NEW PAPER in @IJERPH with @Russ_Jago @Simon_Sebire @ruthkipping @UoBrisHEB @Kandibex @UoBrisSPS @BristolUniCPH exploring the perspectives of strategic stakeholders on school-based physical activity interventions in UK: https://t.co/r6GQ1tXi9C

[Byron Tibbitts @b_tib]

3/4 Key perspectives were that existing individual-level interventions often fail to consult end users in design, and are often implemented in environments unsupportive of sustainable change. Whole-school approach recommended, with acknowledgment of the complexities involved

What a terrific chap @Nigelrefowens is. He enhances each and every game he officiates, may potentially be the nicest man in rugby, and writes a brilliant column 👌#legendofthegame
