DE-PASS Publication: DE-PASS Best Evidence Statement (BESt): A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis on the Effectiveness of Trials on Device-Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour and Their Determinants in Children Aged 5–12 Years This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of interventions targeting modifiable determinants of device-measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in...

DE-PASS Publication: Determinants of physical activities in settings (DE-PASS): Approach for selecting the core measures for determinants of physical activity behaviours in 9-12 old children Balancing the use of appropriate measures for data collection with minimising participant burden is a common challenge in large transdisciplinary research teams. This paper outlines the process used to select...

  DE-PASS Best Evidence Statement (BESt): Determinants of self-report physical activity and sedentary behaviours in children in settings: A systematic review and meta-analyses Previous programs designed to improve children’s physical activity (PA) and reduce sedentary behavior (SB) often focus on changing factors (determinants) believed to influence these behaviors. However, it’s unclear how these factors relate...

A Brief Look at the Journey of DE-PASS and some Key Outcomes Thank you to our DE-PASS Colleagues Dr Jennifer Duncan and Dr Chloe Williamson who prepared this for DE-PASS as part of a Virtual Mobility Grant.  

As the DEterminants of Physical ActiviteS in Settings Network (DE-PASS) has drawn to a close, I am filled with pride and gratitude reflecting on the journey we’ve shared over the past four years. What began in November 2020 as a vision to unite multidisciplinary stakeholders to better understand the determinants of physical activity behaviours (PABs)...

What are DE-PASS Researcher and Innovator Mobility Grants? COST Actions such as DEPASS offer grants to members to support researcher and innovator mobility, capacity building and transfer of knowledge through bilateral/multilateral collaborations. Two specific grants exist: 1) Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs, Max €4000) and 2) Virtual Mobility (VM, Max €1500): The grants support the achievement...
