Cost-Effectiveness of Interventions to Promote Physical Activity: A Modelling Study (2009, background): “Interventions to promote physical activity (referred to herein as ‘‘physical activity interventions’’) typically involve teaching individuals the skills to change physical activity behaviour, providing the population with knowledge about physical activity goals or opportunities to be active, or crea”
Parent’s Social Support for Children’s Outdoor Physical Activity: Do Weekdays and Weekends Matter?

A Systematic Review of Agreement Between Perceived and Objective Neighborhood Environment Measures and Associations With Physical Activity Outcomes (2017, background): “Future research should test interventions that not only modify the built environment but also enhance perceptions of the neighborhood for physical activity (Kelly, Hoehner, Baker, Ramirez, & Brownson, 2006), such as through informational outreach (Kahn et al., 2002), signage (Koohsari et al.”
