Research and proposal: Physical activity interventions
Summary of task
As part of a broader unit of work on community-based health and wellbeing interventions, students researched a range of physical activity interventions/initiatives/community events – for example, workplace walking challenges, social media campaigns, targeted programs to increase participation in sport – to review their effectiveness and to identify innovative strategies that may work in their local community. Students were then asked to evaluate two of the interventions using the provided template and use this information to propose their own physical activity intervention for their school or local community.
This assessment task relates to the focus areas: health benefits of physical activity, and lifelong physical activities.
