Identify conditions that have supported positive behaviour changes in under-represented groups*, including causal evidence of policies or interventions resulting in increases in activity levels or decreases in inactivity.

Background

Sport England seeks to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity, providing opportunities to people and communities that have traditionally been left behind, and helping to remove the barriers to activity.

Understanding how people think, feel, experience, and behave towards sport and physical activity is fundamental in shaping inclusive, equitable policies and practices. We need greater evidence on what works so we know how best to do this.

The question above relates to the following Sport England Area of Research Interest: ARI 4. Enhancing sport and physical activity participation among under-represented groups* and within places of greatest need.
