Health promoting sports clubs: from theoretical model to logic model
Health promotion international(2023)
Abstract
A recent literature review indicated that the settings-based approach, as it is applied to sports clubs, is poorly understood and not well implemented. The current study builds on the health promoting sports clubs (HPSC) theoretical model as a basis for a settings-based approach in the sports setting and proposes a logic model to develop and evaluate HPSC in practice. The logic model was established through qualitative, iterative methods in the form of six meetings with eight experts in the field. Qualitative thematic coding was conducted on notes taken and contributions during and between meetings. The results describe a best-practice logic model of HPSC, including inputs, activities, outcomes and impacts at each HPSC level, while case studies illustrate the interactions between levels. Results indicate that a HPSC can have an impact at each level, from individual health to social and community capital. For a sports club, the logic model helps to define how the club's board or management committee can set the conditions for club managers and coaches to support members' health. External stakeholders to clubs are also recognized for their key responsibility in providing different types of resources to support sports clubs to be health promoting. Future research should focus on monitoring and evaluating at each level, including empirical testing system interactions as a whole and interactions across levels. Lay Summary This article describes a logic model for health promoting sports clubs (HPSC), informed by a settings-based approach. It demonstrates how each of the seven levels of the HPSC model can request resources, implement activities to generate outcomes and impact at their level, as well as how these levels interact. This logic model offers explicit descriptions of the resources needed by stakeholders to develop health promotion (HP) activities. It also highlights the relationships between activities and outcomes, which are often made implicitly by sports club stakeholders, supporting the understanding about how HP can enhance a sports club's core business. This logic model can be used to develop interventions, and to support monitoring and evaluation of processes, activities and results to investigate how sports clubs promote health.
