Abstract
Public health faces the global impact of rising physical inactivity on health and quality of life. The link between physical activity and health is well recognized, however the effectiveness of health promoting physical activity and sport programmes in First Nation populations is unclear. Study objective: to identify appropriate programmes, design elements and potential participation barriers and enablers: aim to design a sport programme for Sunshine Coast dwelling First Nation Australian men. Qualitative data were collected from two participant groups of First Nation Australian men ≥ 18 years (n = 23) and analysed using descriptive summary and content analysis. Multi-level community consultation identified perceived enablers and barriers to participation and sport programme elements. The significant finding was the emergence of the sport programme design through First Nation voices, over multiple levels of community consultation, that facilitated the progression of the research project from stage two to stage three (sport programme implementation).
