“…While there were no significant differences in MVPA in terms of grade and race, the results indicate the overall daily average minutes of MVPA to be lower than recommended levels for this population. A recent population PA surveillance study also found that females and particularly middle school females (i.e., sixth grade) reported lower levels of PA than males [ 16 , 17 ]. Furthermore, our study indicated that there were no statistically significant PA levels based on age/grade level.…”

“…Due to the varying start times of each program site and to avoid issues with variability due to seasonality to ensure proper estimates of MVPA behavior, all participating sites had to complete the YAP instrument during the academic school year. Similar population surveillance studies followed similar protocols and analyzed descriptive patterns at the population level during an academic school year [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Physical activity (PA) behavior tends to decline as youth get older, especially in female adolescents. The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of female adolescent moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) behavior. Baseline MVPA data was collected during year one of a female-specific PA related program. The Youth Activity Profile was administered to contextualize current middle school female PA levels. Data were collected on over 600 6th–8th grade youths with even distributions by grade. No significant differences between grade, race/ethnicity, and MVPA minutes were found. The average estimated value for daily MVPA across all grades was 43.93 (+/−12.97) min, which is considerably lower than the public health recommendation of 60 min per days. Similar amounts were observed for weekend days 45.03 (+/−19.98) and weekdays 45.50 (+/−13.14); however, allocations were smaller during school (9.45 +/− 5.13 min) than at home (34.04 +/− 11.15). The findings from this study highlight the need for further investigation in developing sustainable and innovative PA interventions that target adolescent females.

“…95 However, little is known about the most effective ways to engage different kinds of communities (e.g., low income vs high income and rural vs urban) in CSPAPs, though there is emerging research in this area of investigation. 96,97 A notable gap is the lack of evidence about how to work collaboratively with local governments to effect policy change and increase accountability for CSPAP implementation.…”

Physical inactivity is a global challenge that necessitates early intervention during childhood. Schools are positioned to make a significant impact on children’s current and future physical activity behavior, but numerous barriers hinder the implementation and sustainability of school-based physical activity opportunities. The purpose of this invited article is to provide an overview of the comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) as a concept, framework, and promising approach to institutionalizing physical activity within the school environment. Despite the availability of numerous published reviews on the topic, a broad, up-to-date panorama of the CSPAP literature that encompasses and consolidates historical, conceptual, empirical, and practical perspectives is currently lacking. Contained within this article is an explanation of the public health context that undergirds the CSPAP concept, a historical perspective of the concept’s origins and evolution, examples of CSPAP research, recommendations for advancing the knowledge base, and evidence-informed frameworks and principles for professional practice.

“…For example, Snavely and Tracy [17] show in their study that leaders have difficulties in sustaining collaborations due to a permanent lack of local funding and geographical distances. According to Kellstedt et al [16], trust between cooperative partners within a community tends to develop in more peripheral areas with dense settlements. One explanation is that in such communities the likelihood of multiple (random) encounters between the members involved increases, as work and private life are not geographically far apart.…”

“…To prevent the further decline of services of general interest, it is crucial to strengthen regional cooperation and social networks [14]. Empirical findings show that trust is an important component in the development of regional cooperation structures [15][16][17]. It is important to foster trust between inter-organisational actors to strengthen cultural networks and cooperation, which at the same time also secures cultural education infrastructures and thus cultural engagement.…”

(1) Background: Rural areas are characterised by a higher number of volunteers compared to urban centres in Germany. In this context, cultural and arts education is one of the largest voluntary sectors. However, an increasing decline in (cultural) volunteering can be observed. To counteract the decrease, it is important to strengthen regional cooperation and social networks, which are based on trust. The connection between trust, volunteering, and social networks has already been examined, but we still do not fully understand the emergence of trust in the link of cultural education cooperation and networks in rural areas. (2) Methods: A total of 34 semi-structured interviews in combination with egocentric network maps were conducted in four rural regions. The interview data were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using qualitative content analysis. (3) Results: Four dimensions of trust-building were identified: 1. presence and spatial proximity, 2. multiplexity, 3. third party, and 4. community spirit.
