*Childrens Physical Activity

30% of children in the UK are overweight or obese (BHF, 2012)

Childrens Physical Activ-ity levels (Nationl Statistic, 2012) 35% of children are not

getting enough exercise (60minutes of moderate-high intensity activity) (BHF, 2012)

*Free Play

Finally… Is a free play centre a good way to increase children's physical activity?

Non structured active play is the highest recorded type of physical activity! (BHF,

2012)

What I learnt from my project

Doing a good research project doesn’t have to frazzle your brain!

*Effective Literature Searching

1st Step

Break down search topic into sections

Think of key terms to

describe topic

Use advanced search on database

*Widening Search Results!

*Evaluating Children's Physical Activity in a Free Play Environment

*For phrase search use quotation marks - “Physical Activity”

*Use OR between words on same search line for alternatives

*Subject terms – click on arrow to change index

*Varied word endings eg: Measure* for measurement, measurements, measured

*Step 2

Choose where to Search

*Discover- New library Catalogue

*Search individual databases- relevant to your subject

-i.e SPORTDiscus – all aspects of sport

Modifying Searches

*Experiment with different search words

*Limit to years of publication

*Step 3 Organising Literature!

Save articles

in library folder

Look at abstract

s

Create Article tableArticle

Reference and

availability
