Interpersonal level (class teacher) of a conceptual framework for School-Based Physical Activity Interventions in Children Aged 7–11 Years of program theories (context-mechanism-outcome).

Context Mechanism Outcome Supporting Evidence
If teacher training workshops are provided. Then teachers become empowered and increase delivery confidence and competence. Teachers feel a sense of autonomy and ownership over the program. Teachers model positive physical activity behavior and there is high program implementation fidelity and increased child physical activity. Magnusson et al. [23]
Donnelly et al. [51]
If physical activity resources and equipment are provided without training. Then teachers lack autonomy and perceive physical activity program delivery as a stand-alone and additional. Teachers do not use, or misuse the resources provided. Huberty et al. [45]
Martin and Murtagh [22]
Weaver et al. [59]
If the intervention requires substantial teacher involvement, Then there will be a differential response depending upon willingness and training provided. Ineffective and/or inconsistent implementation of the physical activity program. Drummy et al. [40]
Huberty et al. [45]
Martin and Murtagh [22]
Weaver et al. [59]
