Sport and Community Sector Insights: Engaging Physically Inactive Communities

Abstract

This report provides key sport and community sector insights on the impact of the nationally-funded Move It AUS Participation Grant Program. This Program funded 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 qualitative interviews conducted with program leaders within 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.
