• Does the walkability of neighbourhoods affect children's independent mobility, independent of parental, socio-cultural and individual factors? (2014, background): “…in physical activity during childhood reduces the risk of developing disease risk factors in adulthood (Boreham and Riddoch 2001), enhances mental and emotional wellbeing (Biddle, Gorely, and Stensel 2004; Parfitt and Eston 2005) and may prevent overweight and obesity (Flynn et al. 2006).”
• The educational benefits claimed for physical education and school sport: an academic review (2009, background): “At one level, this is surprising because the evidence of significant physical benefits for young people from physical activity is limited (Biddle, Gorely, and Stensel 2004 ; Cale and Harris 2005 ).”

• Physical activity and obesity in children (2011, background): “have resulted in the reduction or removal of many physical activities from our contemporary lifestyle and thereby contributed to the childhood obesity epidemic.”
• Young people's views on the nature and purposes of physical education: a sociological analysis (2007, background): “…words, although it was recognized by pupils that PE is often ‘an important site for physical activity accrual’ (Biddle et al ., 2004, p. 689), they were also aware that ‘it does not provide sufficient activity for [them] to achieve recommended levels of activity’ (Biddle et al ., 2004, p. 689).”
• Is it Pleasure or Health from Leisure that We Benefit from Most? An Analysis of Well-Being Alternatives and Implications for Policy (2016, background): “Active leisure through sport is also recommended (Biddle et al., 2004) and, it is this view that is adopted in the UK where sport has specifically been targeted as an important contributor to HEPA (DCMS/Strategy Unit, 2002).”
