Developing an evidence-based physical activity report

Client overview

Expand on information from your plan
Use graphs where appropriate

Include:
- Demographic (summary of client characteristics, do they meet guidelines, how do they compare to others?)
- Health benefits of physical activity (what could be prevented? Include interpretation of research)
- Correlates/barriers relevant to client (how do they compare to the research on people of a similar age and sex?). Organise your client's correlates at an individual, social and environmental level, consistent with the ecological model.
For each of the above dot points, compare and contrast at least two journal articles to support your findings.
This section should be written in a way that your client can understand it.

Physical activity strategies

Suggest at least two novel yet realistic strategies to increase your client's physical activity levels
Choose a setting relevant to your client (eg: school, home, community, workplace etc)
Find research that has already been completed on increasing physical activity in your client's demographic, and analyse the studies:
- What type of intervention was it?
- What theory of behaviour change was it based on?
- How did they attempt to increase physical activity?
- How effective was it?
- How much did PA increase by?

Lastly, provide a brief critique of the evidence used. What were the limitations of the studies you selected, if any? (Eg: measurement of PA, sample size, study methods)
