The Guide for empowering European youths and youth workers to integrate physical activity within youths’ daily lives is now available!
GUIDE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this guide are providing insight into:
The effectiveness of physical activity against mood disorders, such as depression, and anxiety disorders within youths (aged 15-30 years).
Underlying psychological mechanisms that determine whether youths are regularly physically active.
What design choices need to be made to make sure the platform is usable for youth workers and youths.
Collecting and selecting the most important themes, topics and functions that need to be addressed in the platform, user guide and training-event.
This guide is created by thorough desk research and additional field research with all target groups. The field research was done by having interviews and discussions with youths, youth workers and experts on the topic of physical activity within youths’ daily lives. All in order to create a strong theoretical and practical foundation for the development of the platform.
It’s all about the personal process. Creating an autonomic and preferably intrinsic motivation is key in creating sustainable behaviour change. Youths are in need of physical activities that make them enthusiastic, are accessible and helpful for them. |
