Despite many good policies, physical activity levels in Scottish children have shown little improvement over the past 15 years, while inequalities in physical activity and health have continued to grow.

‘Physical Activity Messaging’- education and advocacy- is a best investment for tackling low physical activity. Activity messaging has been under-used in most countries including Scotland.

We are informed by ParticipACTION, Canada’s leading physical activity organisation whose education and advocacy work addressing low population physical activity, has proven effective for over 5 decades.

Funded by an Economic and Social Research Council grant and working with ParticipACTION we have adapted the ParticipACTION model for Scotland- ‘Scotland Moves’.

We will launch Scotland Moves at the end of August 2026.
