Abstract
Low and declining movement competency and fitness in children presents a need to develop provision to reverse this trend. Physical Education (PE) curriculum has been recommended as an opportunity to achieve this, however this is often dominated by traditional games and presents challenges. This study aimed to conduct a preliminary exploration of the feasibility of a movement and fitness focussed intervention (Move to Sport; M2S), co-produced with nine PE teachers. Class-based and practical co-production sessions were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings highlighted teachers recognised the demand for M2S and felt it would be best delivered at the end of primary and start of secondary school. Challenges included; a) understanding how to combine movement-based and sport specific approaches to delivering PE, b) differentiation, and c) modes of assessment. Future recommendations include conducitng a feasibility trial of M2S in school and the assessment of the impact of M2S on children.
