Behaviour change programmes delivered in sporting clubs can engage men in health behaviour change, but are rarely sustained or scaled-up post trial.

Article Synopsis
- Men living in rural areas often don't join weight management programs, especially those designed for men, leading to the need for targeted interventions like Aussie-FIT, which traditionally engages urban men through Australian Football.
- Stakeholder focus groups in three rural towns identified barriers to men's participation and provided insights on tailoring the Aussie-FIT program for rural contexts, emphasizing the importance of local partnerships and appeal to masculine ideals.
- Adaptations included altering recruitment strategies and marketing, focusing on inclusivity, and ensuring that the program theme aligns with the interests and allegiances of local men, highlighting the unique challenges and needs of rural populations.
