SPARColl research programme

The SPARColl vision is to be internationally recognised for excellence in research relating to physical activity for health. By  combining the extensive research knowledge of a collaborating team of internationally renowned physical activity experts, SPARColl is working to achieve this vision.

SPARColl has been hosted by the University of Strathclyde since August 2005 and the work programme has been designed in two stages (stage 1 2005 - 2008; stage 2 2009-2010).

Research Framework

To guide the research activities of SPARColl we are using the MRC guidelines for developing and evaluating complex interventions. Further details on these guidelines and the steps involved can be accessed here.

Our long term goal is to develop interventions that progress through each of the main elements of the process to develop interventions worthy of implementation.
