It takes concerted efforts of families and schools to promote students’ health and wellbeing. An evidence-based parent workshop was designed by the Fun to Move@JC to instil positive attitudes of active lifestyle in parents.

From February to June 2022, around 150 families participated in the 8-week workshop series which comprised of short videos of general physical activity knowledge, weekly online family activity classes, easy sports equipment as well as materials for extended learning. The programme was structured to cover the cognitive, physical, affective and behavioural aspects of Physical Literacy. Furthermore, participants were asked to wear research-grade accelerometers and the Fun to Move@JC sport band to monitor their physical activity level. The data collected would be very important for us to study the family dynamics of physical activity participation.
