Using Integrated Research-Practice Partnerships to Move Evidence-Based Principles Into Practice

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2019 Jul;47(3):176-187. doi: 10.1249/JES.0000000000000194.

Abstract

The implementation of evidence-based physical activity interventions is improved when integrated research-practice partnerships are used. These partnerships consider both research- and practice-based evidence that moves beyond only assessing program efficacy. Our novel hypothesis is that integrated research-practice partnerships may lead to interventions that are practical and effective, reach more participants, and are more likely to be sustained in practice.
