What’s Wrong with this Picture?

A Settings Approach

Promoting Physical Activity: Settings Based

Approaches


A Settings Approach

The three key settings for physical activity behaviour change include:

• Schools

• Workplaces

• Community

There are multiple types/levels of influence on PA behaviours:

� Intrapersonal factors

� Social/cultural factors

� Physical environments

� Policies are usually needed to change physical environments


Target domains for PA interventions

Social

Physical Environment

Interpersonal

Policy


Social & Interpersonal

School� Link programs to community

programs� Active yard-duty where teachers

are active role models for students

� Peer-lead programs where students organise and run activities for other students

� Play music in a designated dancing area

Community� Establish walking groups for

different age groups� Mass media campaign to

increase awareness of community programs and facilities

Workplace� Encourage staff to park further

away form building� Introduce lunchtime walking

groups� Schedule active meetings (eg

walk and talk about a concept)� Introduce one day per week that

is casual clothes day to encourage people to be active

� Organise a ride to work day� Enter a work team into a sporting

competition


Physical Environment

School� Install bicycle racks and secure

lock up facilities� Introduce traffic calming on

active transport routes to school� Introduce wall and line markings� Install activity prompts- courts,

basketball rings, goals, gymnasiums, activity areas, playground equipment, cubby houses, hills, logs, trees

Community� Increase aesthetics of parks &

walking trails� Increased access to walking

trails to specific destinations such as shops, post office, parks, schools, etc

� Introduce facilities specific for different age groups and cultural interests (eg skate parks and lawn bowls or bocce)

� Publish distances to walk specific destinations on signs


Workplace

� Displaying motivational or informative posters, signage or brochures about the benefits of physical activity and some tips on getting active;

� Promoting and encouraging employees to use the stairs. Use the ‘footprint’stickers to guide people toward the stairs rather than walking straight to the lift; Promote ‘walking meetings’, lunch-time walks and 5-10 minute walk breaks during the day

� Providing bicycle racks or alternative secure bicycle storage to encourage people to cycle to work;

� Providing information on local opportunities for physical activity;

� Publicising physical activity opportunities through email, company intranet or websites, links to the be active

website, noticeboards and newsletters;

� Purchasing corporate memberships of local fitness centres. Some local fitness centres offer attractive corporate packages which allow employees reduced membership rates;

� Providing on-site facilities such as gyms (this may be an option for large employers);

� Providing showers, change room facilities and lockers for those who wish to cycle, walk or jog to work or participate in more vigorous activities in and around the working day;

� Supporting sports and physical activity clubs such as social football and netball teams, and walking and jogging groups; and

� Encouraging employees to form corporate teams for events such as Corporate Cup, the be active tour and the Masters Games.


Policy

School� Mandated minimum time allocation for PE

& sport in Government schools

� Allocated play spaces for various year levels within the school ground

� Ensure there is activity equipment monitors allocated during breaks

Community� Consider the provision of active transport

routes and access to green space in urban planning of new developments

Workplace� Subsidise health club memberships for

employees.

� Reduce insurance rates for active and fit employees

School Setting-based Programs


Approaches


School Settings

Schools play a major role in shaping children’s attitudes towards PA and living an active lifestyle. Schools encourage lifelong patterns of PA.

School based programs are;� Moderately effective� People who participated in

these programs are more likely to be active for life.

� Print material and school curriculum appears to be the most effective methods.

Active after schools programhttp://www.ausport.gov.au/aasc/index.a

spHowever PA decreases as students

during the secondary years due to a crowded curriculum and student subject choices.

Schools can increase PA by;� Following government

recommendations for time allocated to PE.

� Providing sufficient sports equipment and facilities / public use.

� Promoting school sporting events


What intervention strategies could

we do at our school?

Walking School Bus

� The Walking School Bus Program is a VicHealth initiative that’s giving communities an effective and easy way to get children walking to school again.

� Today in Victoria nearly one-third of all children spend less than 5 minutes walking per day. Inactive children are more likely to be overweight – with the proportion of Australian children who are in this category now reaching 25%. Walking to and from school gives children the opportunity to engage in regular physical activity.

� More than 58 Victorian councils have implemented Walking School Bus programs.

� At least 3200 primary school students from more than 200 primary schools use the Walking School Bus to get to school, with the help of 800 volunteers.

� The ‘buses’ have become a very positive part of school and community life and offer many health, environmental and safety benefits.

� Walking School Bus programs can be implemented by schools with the help of your local council.

Workplace Setting-based Programs


Approaches

� Improved morale

� Increased work productivity� Reduced ‘sickies’� Less feeling of being stressed� Reduced staff turn over

� Improved community relationsDifficulties include;

� Lack of interest at management level

� The size of the organisation� Facilities available� Lack of support or interest from

workers

Tips for being more active

� Go for a walk at lunch time

� Get off the bus, train or tram one stop early and walk the

rest of the way

� Park the car 15 minutes away and walk the rest of the way

� Get together with some workmates and form a sports

team


Example - Stair use Interventions

Research on improvements to stairs:

� Improved lighting

� Music

� Carpet & motivational pictures

� Point of decision signs

� Signs- the wealth is health-take the stairs

� No waiting one door over-take the stairs

Findings

� Almost 10% increase in stair use of a 5 floor building

Community Setting-based Programs


Approaches


Community Settings

A ‘community’ refers to local groups of people, whole cities or whole nations.

Strengthening the communities knowledge and interest in the benefits of physical activity is therefore vital.

Possible local influences:

• Urban design (Town planners)

• Road characteristics (Transportation)

• Stairwell characteristics (Architects)

• Park characteristics (Recreation, landscape architects

• Crime (Justice & law enforcement

Community strategies include;

� Developing local facilities

� Use of community venues that encourage physical activity

� Free health checks at shopping centres

� Educative sessions for community members on health issues.

� Review of council policies


Community Program Examples


‘Sonnong Common

Health Walks’

in the local environment

‘Walking the Way to

Health’
