Abstract
Adolescents are influenced by external factors which may impact their
level of physical activity. Parents require specific strategies to become involved and to increase
physical activity participation in adolescence. Objective: Thus, the current study aimed to design
recommendations to increase physical activity participation and parental involvement. Methods:
The current study forms part of a broader mixed-method study in which the results of the phases
and stages of the pre-studies informed the current study. Thus, the current study uses an agreement
workshop to develop recommendations with stakeholder and expert input in two rounds. Participants
were invited to participate in the current study n = 100, and n = 65 participated in round one. Round
two consisted of n = 20 experts invited to an agreement workshop, with n = 11 attending and making
an input on the final recommendations. Therefore, experts and parents in the field of parenting,
physical activity, and physical education, were invited to participate in the study rounds. After
each round, the responses from the panellists were collated, interpreted, and developed into a
framework for recommendations using thematic analysis. Themes were generated and refined using
an agreement format.
