“…5 Thus, the study's findings provided support for the short-term efficacy of coach education for increasing the time players spent in MVPA and reducing the time players spent inactive. 5 Further investigation into how the intervention achieved its effects, however, is needed. Mediation analysis can be a useful statistical technique for identifying the possible mechanisms that lead an intervention to achieve its effects, and can inform the design and delivery of more effective programs in the future.…”

“…3 In response, Guagliano et al conducted the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed at determining the short-term efficacy of coach education on female basketball players' PA in OYS. 4,5 Findings indicated that players in the intervention group, compared to a standard-care control group, spent a significantly higher proportion of practice time in MVPA, vigorous PA, and moderate PA, and a significantly lower proportion of practice time inactive. 5 Thus, the study's findings provided support for the short-term efficacy of coach education for increasing the time players spent in MVPA and reducing the time players spent inactive.…”

“…Mediation analysis can be a useful statistical technique for identifying the possible mechanisms that lead an intervention to achieve its effects, and can inform the design and delivery of more effective programs in the future. 6,7 To provide insight into the mechanisms of change in the Guagliano et al intervention study 5 (hereafter referred to as the intervention), we investigated the contextual variables and leader behaviours that may have mediated the effect of the intervention on players' physical (in)activity. Our hypothesised mediators were selected by drawing on previous studies, which had suggested that leader behaviours such as praise and encouragement have been positively associated with the intensity of youth PA, 8 the amount of youth PA, 9 and sports participation.…”

Background Neighborhood environment influences may be particularly important for understanding physical activity (PA) patterns across ethnic subgroups of early adolescent girls. Purpose This study examined relationships between neighborhood variables, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and active transportation to/from school across African American, Latino American, and White early adolescent girls living in an urban/suburban community in the northwestern U.S.A. Relations between the neighborhood variables across ethnic groups also were examined. Method The sample comprised 372 African American, Latino American, and White girls living in the U.S.A. (mean age= 12.06 years; SD=1.69). Results Data were analyzed using multiple-sample structural equation modeling. Results showed that girls' MVPA was positively related to physical activity facility accessibility and negatively related to age. Active transport was positively related to physical activity facility accessibility, neighborhood walkability, and age, and negatively related to distance to the nearest school and household income. Conclusions Findings highlight the importance of both perceived and objective neighborhood influences on girls' MVPA and active transport. Consistencies in findings across African American, Latino American, and White girls suggest that neighborhood-level PA promotion has the potential for broad impact across all three ethnic groups.

Physical inactivity is an increasing problem worldwide, but especially among girls. This difference by gender increases with age. Schools serve virtually all young people in most parts of the world and can thus play an important role in promoting physical activity. In this systematic review, we qualitatively and comprehensively assessed the treatment of sex/gender considerations (from study design to discussion of results) in 56 school-based intervention studies aiming to promote physical activity in children and adolescents. In all 56 studies, the factor of sex/gender was only rudimentarily considered, regardless of the effectiveness of the intervention. The meta-analysis revealed that the interventions had significant but relatively small effects with both girls and boys, along with high heterogeneity. To obtain better information about effective strategies that promote physical activity for both girls and boys equally, researchers conducting future intervention studies should pay attention to sex/gender differences and report on how they take this factor into account.
