| 5) | Recruitment: V & C (school-dependent) Setting: School Age: 14 Gender: F Area: Rural Adherence: 80% attendance required for inclusion | Intervention activity: Dance Intervention period: 5 - 12 hours of delivery in 1 hour intervals | Combined | Quantitative Pre-Post | Significant decrease in perceived exertion. Significant increases in self-esteem, aerobic capacity and handgrip. No change in intrinsic motivation or flexibility | Ecological levels: Intrapersonal |
| 6) | Recruitment: V Setting: College Age: 22 (±3.9) Gender: F Area: NR Adherence: 15% attrition and 92% attendance | Intervention activity: Dance Intervention period: 10 weeks, 3 days per week | Physiological | Quantitative Pre-Post Control group n = 9 Intervention group n = 8 | Significant overall reduction in body fat percentage and fat weight. Significant increase in VO2max and fat free weight. No group differences between weight training group & no-weight training group. No change in body weight, respiratory exchange ratio or perceived exertion. | Ecological levels: Intrapersonal |
| 7) | Recruitment: V Setting: Gym (universities & leisure centres) Age: 25.4 (±4.3) Gender: F Area: NR Adherence: NR | Intervention activity: Zumba Intervention period: 3 weeks 3 x gym Zumba 3 x DVD Zumba | Physiological | Quantitative In-session monitoring Cross-over design | Zumba classes allowed greater energy expenditure. Women with a greater autonomy score showed a smaller difference between DVD and class. Greater differences were shown in women with greater interpersonal skills. Both modalities are suitable to maintain fitness. | Ecological levels: Intrapersonal |
| 8) Hamlyn- Williams, Freeman & Parfitt (2014) | Recruitment: C Setting: School Age: 14.6 (±0.8) Gender: F Area: NR Adherence: NR | Intervention activity: Treadmill walking/running Intervention period: 3 × 20 minute sessions. (2x self-selected and 1x prescribed intensity) | Psychological | Quantitative In-session monitoring | No significant differences in intensity between prescribed and self-selected sessions. Affective responses were significantly more positive during the self-selected session and ratings of perceived exertion were significantly lower. | Ecological levels: Intrapersonal |
| 9) | Recruitment: V Setting: School Age: 14.5 (±0.5) Gender: F/M Area: Rural Adherence: NR | Intervention activity: Walking/ running Intervention period: 4 days | Physiological | Quantitative | Intervention group had higher counts per minute than control group. Pedometer wearing was associated with higher PA among girls but not boys and has im plications for sex specific interventions. No significant change in BMI. | Ecological levels: Intrapersonal |
| 10) | Recruitment: V Setting: NR Age: 21 (±4) Gender: F Area: NR Adherence: 25.4% attrition | Intervention activity: Cycling (supervised endurance program) Intervention period: 6 weeks (3 × 45 minute sessions per week) | Physiological | Quantitative Pre-Post | Local leg-muscle aerobic capacity and ratio 1:2 vary from person to person and influences adaptation following cycling program. Setting training stimulus at a fixed percentage of VO2max is not recommended to standardise the training stimulus to the leg muscles of different people. | Ecological levels: Intrapersonal |
