Exploring the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Brief Online Dialogic Book-Sharing Training for Teaching Support Staff.

Background/objectives: In the UK, significant and rising numbers of children arrive in schools with marked deficits in key skills such as oral language. This rise has been further negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this, the foundation phase of primary school education is a necessary environment for targeting language deficits.

The implementation, use and impact of patient reported outcome measures in value-based healthcare programmes: A scoping review.

Background: Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) focuses on the value of patient outcomes and is achieved by ensuring resources already available are managed to realise the best possible individual and population health outcomes. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) measure the impact of illnesses from the patient perspective. We conducted a scoping review to understand how PROMs were implemented and used, and their impact in the context of VBHC.

Utility of international normative 20 m shuttle run values for identifying youth at increased cardiometabolic risk.

The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of international normative centiles for the 20 m shuttle run test (20mSRT) to identify youth at increased cardiometabolic risk. This was a cross-sectional study involving 961 children aged 10-17 years (53% girls) from the United Kingdom. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves determined the discriminatory ability of cardiorespiratory fitness percentiles for predicting increased cardiometabolic risk.

'Measuring' Physical Literacy and Related Constructs: A Systematic Review of Empirical Findings.

Background: The concept of physical literacy has received increased research and international attention recently. Where intervention programs and empirical research are gaining momentum, their operationalizations differ significantly.

Objective: The objective of this study was to inform practice in the measure/assessment of physical literacy via a systematic review of research that has assessed physical literacy (up to 14 June, 2017).

Definitions, Foundations and Associations of Physical Literacy: A Systematic Review.

Background: The concept of physical literacy has stimulated increased research attention in recent years-being deployed in physical education, sport participation, and the promotion of physical activity. Independent research groups currently operationalize the construct differently.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to conduct a systematic review of the physical literacy construct, as reflected in contemporary research literature.
