Abstract

Background: Researchers and policymakers acknowledge sports clubs (SCs) as health promoting settings but SCs need strategies to inform their health promotion efforts. Purpose: To provide SCs with an intervention planning framework for developing and implementing health promotion interventions. Methods: The 4-step process included: 1) investigating ‘health promoting’ indicators, 2) adapting the theoretical HPSC concept to create a model, 3) reformulating evidence-driven guidelines into intervention components (ICs) and 4) merging the model with ICs to produce an intervention planning framework. During 3 workshops, researchers defined the HPSC model and ICs before participants classified ICs into the model (each IC could be classified multiple times). Results: Researchers drafted 5 HPSC indicators: 1) an approach embracing all SC actions, 2) involve all SC levels in actions and decisions, 3) involve external partners, 4) promoting health is continuous and iterative and 5) base actions on needs. Researchers created the HPSC model by defining elements based on indicators: 3 SC levels (club, management, coaches) and 4 health determinants (organizational, social, environmental, economic). Published guidelines aided in developing 14 strategies with 55 ICs. Workshop classification of ICs into the model included: club (n=79), management (n=67) and coaches (n=48). Conclusions: The HPSC model and intervention planning framework are starting points to increase SC health promotion efforts by: 1) applying strategies based on goals, 2) targeting specific SC levels with corresponding ICs or 3) targeting specific health determinants using ICs. Funding: Study funded with a grant from Santé publique France
