Evaluation of physical activity projects

The regional mapping revealed many differing approaches being taken to evaluation in the Region. In addition, a number of people working in the field have identified evaluation as being one of the most challenging aspects of their work. 

To investigate this further, a research project was commissioned by Sport England, in conjunction with the East Midlands Public Health Observatory and the Health Development Agency. This aimed to look at approaches being taken to evaluation in the region and pull together some of the learning. 

The research was carried out by a consortium of the BHF National Centre, Cavill Associates and the BHF Health Promotion Research Group. 

A number of documents summarising the research are available here:

Evaluation of physical activity interventions in the East Midlands: Final Report (2004)

Guidance on the evaluation of physical activity projects (2004).

This document aims to provide a very brief overview of some of the main issues around evaluation of health promotion projects, with a particular focus on those promoting physical activity. It has been produced following a review of physical activity interventions in the East Midlands region, carried out by a team from the BHF National Centre for physical activity and health at Loughborough University, together with the BHF Health Promotion Research Group at Oxford University.
