How to get children moving? The effectiveness of school-based interventions promoting physical activity in children and adolescents - A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled- and controlled studies.

This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes the effectiveness of school-based physical activity (PA) interventions on children's and adolescents' PA. As no robust empirical evidence exists regarding what seems to characterize the school-based PA interventions that are most effective, we further aimed to map key factors of particular importance when trying to increase PA in early stages of life through school-based strategies. Intervention effects were calculated as standardized between-group (i.

An exercise and patient education intervention to reduce pain and physical limitations in adults with acetabular dysplasia: study protocol for a process evaluation integrated within a randomised controlled trial (the MovetheHip trial).

Background: The Movethehip trial investigates the effectiveness of an exercise and patient education intervention for adults with acetabular dysplasia. The intervention involves eight tailored one-to-one sessions with trained providers who employ supportive feedback tools. The present protocol reports a planned process evaluation, which aims to determine how the intervention functions by examining the implementation of the intervention (process, dose and reach), its acceptability, mechanisms of change and the influence of contextual factors.
