In 2014 Public Health England (PHE) launched the National Physical Activity Framework ‘Everybody Active, Everyday’. The framework included a key domain for action called ‘Moving Professionals’. The Moving Professionals Programme aims to build expertise and leadership across key professional sectors and to raise awareness and understanding of the health benefits of physical activity among professionals and the wider public. The programme comprises several innovative work packages which are described in full elsewhere (Brannan et al., 2019). One element of the programme was the Clinical Champions’ Physical Activity Training Programme. PHE developed a network of Clinical Champions who were tasked with providing peer-to-peer training on physical activity for healthcare professionals. The long-term aim of the Clinical Champions’ Physical Activity (CCPA) training programme is to increase population levels of physical activity by increasing the proportion of healthcare professionals integrating conversations about physical activity into routine clinical practice in England.An independent evaluation of the Clinical Champion’s physical activity training programme was conducted by researchers based at the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University, UK. The NCSEM were not responsible for the implementation of the Clinical Champions’ physical activity training. The evaluation aimed to: 1) Evaluate the uptake and utilisation of the training programme and the different training models; 2) Assess the perceived impact of the training programme on healthcare professionals’ confidence, knowledge and application of brief physical activity advice in routine clinical practice; 3) Assess whether there is any differential impact of the training programme when sessions are delivered by different types of Clinical Champion (i.e. doctor, nurse or allied healthcare professional) to different healthcare professional audiences and 4) Assess the perceived strategic impact of the Clinical Champion physical activity training programme. A mixed methods approach was used to evaluate the programme. This report details the evaluation findings and provides recommendations for the future implementation of the Clinical Champions’ physical activity training programme.

Comprehensive and up to date, this textbook on children’s sport and exercise medicine features research and practical experience of internationally recognized scientists and clinicians that informs and challenges readers. Four sections—Exercise Science, Exercise Medicine, Sport Science, and Sport Medicine—provide a critical, balanced, and thorough examination of each subject, and each chapter provides cross-references, bulleted summaries, and extensive reference lists. Exercise Science covers growth, biological maturation and development, and examines physiological responses to exercise in relation to chronological age, biological maturation, and sex. It analyses kinetic responses at exercise onset, scrutinizes responses to exercise during thermal stress, and evaluates how the sensations arising from exercise are detected and interpreted during youth. Exercise Medicine explores physical activity and fitness and critically reviews their role in young people’s health. It discusses assessment, promotion, and genetics of physical activity, and physical activity in relation to cardiovascular health, bone health, health behaviours, diabetes, asthma, congenital conditions, and physical/mental disability. Sport Science analyses youth sport, identifies challenges facing the young athlete, and discusses the physiological monitoring of the elite young athlete. It explores molecular exercise physiology and the potential role of genetics. It examines the evidence underpinning aerobic, high-intensity, resistance, speed, and agility training programmes, as well as effects of intensive or over-training during growth and maturation. Sport Medicine reviews the epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and management of injuries in physical education, contact sports, and non-contact sports. It also covers disordered eating, eating disorders, dietary supplementation, performance-enhancing drugs, and the protection of young athletes.

A generally enhanced health status in an increasingly ageing population allows many to maintain high physical activity levels, and competitive masters and seniors events are becoming progressively more popular. This, together with the recognition of the importance of exercise to mitigate or even reverse many age-related changes, means that the physician in sport and exercise medicine requires a high index of awareness of the specific issues that arise in relation to sporting injury in the ageing individual. These issues include not only recognition and management of sports injuries ...

There is compelling and indisputable evidence that physical activity performed on a regular basis, is good for individuals, for society, for the environment and the economy. Yet, the physical activity of the population in the UK is low. The dominant position that physical inactivity currently assumes at city-level in Sheffield, means that the majority of society and particularly the least affluent are experiencing negative physical and emotional health with huge medical, psycho-social and economic consequences. The Move More plan sets out a framework for a systems approach to the promotion of physical activity in Sheffield. Under the banner of ‘Move More’, the plan is owned by the Board of the Olympic Legacy programme: The National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine in Sheffield. Move More is supported by all the major city partners, including; the Voluntary Sector, the NHS, both Universities, Sheffield City Council, Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, and Sheffield International Venues (SIV). The aim of the Move More plan is to provide the overall direction for increasing physical activity in Sheffield and to secure and align stakeholder commitment to that direction. Increasing physical activity at a population level is a system challenge and requires the input of numerous organisations, sectors and champions. The Move More plan is therefore intended to be inclusive of, and integral to the strategic and implementation plans of these stakeholders. The Move More plan is split into distinct sections with the main body of the plan focusing on the Vision and Mission of Move More, the challenge of increasing physical activity at population level and the outcomes to be achieved through the application of this framework. The principles that underpin the framework and the proposed programmes of work (ambitions) that are designed to deliver the outcomes are also outlined.

Reduced physical activity and an increase in sedentary habits, as one of the factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and other diseases, are also present in the youth population. The increasing of sedentary lifestyle and the reducing of physical activity can have negative consequences for the health of both genders, including increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It is believed that almost 50% of young people do not practice regular physical activity. Regular physical activity reduces the risk in adults of early death caused by coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, colon and breast cancer and depression. Studies investigating the sedentary lifestyle of young people in the United States show that the length of watching TV is directly proportional to the frequency of obesity. Daily moderate (medium-intensity) physical activity is beneficial for all people, regardless of age. The World Health Organization, within its "Health for All" strategy for the region of Europe, has set the goal for young people to be healthier and more capable to fulfill their roles in society in the year 2020 and that the psycho-social condition of people needs to be improved and help and service should be available to them, which will be better able to include and be more accessible to people with a mental health problem.

Background In 2017 Public Health England and Sport England commissioned a Consultant-led Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) pilot to test the feasibility and acceptability of embedding physical activity interventions in secondary care clinical pathways. The aim of this paper is to report qualitative findings exploring the experience of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients involved in the Active Hospital pilot. Methods Qualitative data was collected by semi-structured interviews with Active Hospital pilot SEM Consultants, and staff and patients involved in three clinical pathways. Interviews with SEM Consultants explored the experience of developing and implementing the pilot. Interviews with staff and patients explored the experience of delivering and receiving Active Hospital interventions. Data were analysed thematically. Results Interviews identified the importance of the Active Hospital pilot being Consultant-led for the following reasons; i) having trusting relationships with decision makers, ii) having sufficient influence to effect change, iii) identifying champions within the system, and iv) being adaptable to change and ensuring the programme fits within the wider strategic frameworks. HCPs emphasised the importance of the Active Hospital interventions fitting easily within existing work practices, the need for staff training and to tailor interventions for individual patient needs. The Active Hospital pilot was well received by patients, however a lack of dedicated resource and capacity to deliver the intervention was highlighted as a challenge by both patients and HCPs. Conclusion The SEM Consultants’ ability to navigate the political climate of a large National Health Service (NHS) Trust with competing agendas and limited resource was valuable. The interventions were well received and a valued addition to usual clinical care. However, implementation and ongoing delivery of the pilot encountered challenges including lack of capacity within the system and delays with recruiting to the delivery teams in each pathway.

In 2014 Public Health England (PHE) launched the national physical activity (PA) framework ‘Everybody Active, Everyday’. The framework included a key domain for action called ‘Moving Professionals’. The Moving Professionals Programme aimed to build expertise and leadership across key professional sectors and to raise awareness and understanding of the health benefits of PA among professionals and the wider public. The Moving Professionals Programme comprised a number of innovative work packages that are described elsewhere (See Brannan et al., 2019). The Physical Activity Clinical Advice Pad (PACAP) pilot was one element of the Moving Professionals Programme, and aimed to; increase the number of primary healthcare professionals (HCPs) in England who integrate brief advice on PA into their routine clinical practice.The PACAP provides advice about the amount and type of PA required to improve health and was designed to look like a prescription pad to aid compliance with the advice provided. It also provides tips on different ways to become more active and signposts users to the PHE Active 10 app and One You website. The purpose of the PACAP was to prompt and facilitate conversations about PA between HCPs and patients.In 2017, PHE and Sport England invited expressions of interest (EoIs) from Local Authority (LA) and Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) partnerships across England to engage in the pilot. Twenty-five applications were returned and ten partnerships were invited to take part in the PACAP pilot.As part of the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) network, academics at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) were commissioned to conduct an independent evaluation of the PACAP pilot. The NCSEM were not responsible for the implementation or delivery of the PACAP pilot. The evaluation adopted a mixed methods approach to explore the acceptability of the PACAP pilot. Data was collected from patients and HCPs using surveys, telephone interviews, focus groups and audits between April 2018 and February 2019. This report details the evaluation findings, provides recommendation for future iterations of the project and provides implications for scaling the PACAP across additional localities in England.
