Engaging Physically Inactive Communities: Key Insights from Move It AUS Grant Programs

Abstract

An evaluation of the nationally-funded Move It AUS Participation Grant Program, funding organisations to design programs to reduce inactivity across target populations in Australia. The purpose of the independent national evaluation was to critically appraise the Program to better understand how organisations can utilise sport and targeted physical activity projects to tackle physical inactivity across Australia. This evaluation incorporated findings from participant surveys in both streams, as well as qualitative interview data from interviews with funded organisations. These findings will inform the sport sector on what works and what doesn't when engaging inactive target groups to increase population physical activity levels.
