- Understand what is meant by Inactivity and the complex nature of the subject
- Know why it is important to understand young people’s lives and potential barriers to engaging with activity
- Understand how to use behaviour change tactics such as EAST and Nudge to engage inactive youth
- Know how to retain participants who were previously inactive
