S07-2 Variability in physical activity levels in adolescent Gaelic football players across a competitive season

Abstract Background Gaelic football is the most popular team-based sport among Irish adolescents, yet research examining the physical activity (PA) levels attained during this sport is limited. Moreover, no research has examined the PA levels of participants across a competitive season, limiting the data collection to one, often undisclosed time point. Therefore, the aim of this study was to objectively measure changes in PA levels attained by adolescents during Gaelic football participation across two time points in a season and determine if these changes had an effect on the overall daily PA levels. Methods A total of 131 adolescents (67 male, 64 female; mean age 14.5 yrs.) were recruited from a convenience sample of three local clubs. Participants wore an activPAL3M accelerometer to determine total sitting/lying time, standing time, light intensity physical activity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during a seven-day measurement period, including Gaelic football participation. Physical activity measurement was completed at two separate time points, in line with the ?preseason? (round 1) and ?in-season? (round 2) periods of the Gaelic football calendar. Results Males accumulated significantly less time in MVPA during games in round 2 when compared to round 1 (round 1 = 36%; round 2 = 30%; p > 0.05). In contrast, females accumulated significantly more time in MVPA during both practices (round 1 = 19%; round 2 = 26%; p > 0.05) and games (round 1 = 27%; round 2=35%; p > 0.05) during round 2. The average daily minutes spent in MVPA by males significantly decreased between the two time points (round 1 = 36.5±12.9min; round 2 = 30.8±13.5min; p > 0.05), while daily MVPA in females significantly increased (round 1 = 26.3±8.9min; round 2 = 30.6±11.6min; p > 0.05). No significant differences in daily MVPA levels were observed between the genders during round 2 (p > 0.05). Conclusion The results demonstrate that the PA levels attained during Gaelic football participation change significantly across a competitive season. These changes may be a direct result of different coaching strategies implemented as the season progresses. The overall daily PA levels of the participants also changed significantly across the time points, resulting in males and females accumulating equal amounts of MVPA daily. This change in daily PA levels may be a consequence of the changes in PA levels attained during Gaelic football participation.

Limited research has linked the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to provide sports clubs a framework to develop health promotion interventions. As implementation science insists on the creation of theoretically grounded interventions, the objective of this work was to provide sports clubs an evidence-driven intervention framework to implement health promotion in sports clubs. Methods An iterative qualitative process in three steps was undertaken to accomplish the objective: (1) adaptation from the HPSC concept to create the HPSC model, (2) reformulation of published evidence-driven guidelines into implementable intervention components (ICs) and (3) merging of the model with the ICs to provide an evidence-based intervention framework for sports clubs. The research team first defined the various elements of the model and formulated ICs, then three groups (French sport students, French experts and Swedish experts) classified the ICs into the HPSC model. In order to retain classification, at least a 2 group agreement was required.

Results
To aid with theory selection, the research team drafted 5 indicators to consider sports clubs as a health promoting setting. Guided by these indicators, the theoretical 'HPSC concept' was chosen as the basis to define and create the 'HPSC model', which defines three sports club levels (club, directors, coaches) and four health determinants (organizational, social, environmental, economic) per level. Published guidelines from two literature reviews were used to develop 14 strategies with 55 intervention components. IC categorization by the three focus groups included: 79 classifications at the club level, 67 classifications at the director level and the coaching level retained 48 classifications.

Conclusions
The theoretical HPSC model and designed framework are a starting point to plan, select and deliver interventions to Abstract citation ID: ckac093.037 S07-4 Sporting programs aimed at inactive population groups in the Netherlands: factors influencing their long-term sustainability in the organized sports setting Linda Ooms 1 1 Mulier Instituut, Utrecht, The Netherlands Corresponding author: l.ooms@mulierinstituut.nl

Background
The organized sports sector has received increased interest as a setting to stimulate physical activity among inactive target groups. To include many inactive people and to obtain population health benefits, it is important that effective sporting programs are sustained (i.e. continuation of program activities) over a long period of time. This study identified the factors influencing the long-term sustainability of these kind of sporting programs located within local sports clubs in the Netherlands.
