The challenge of participatory projects for physical activity promotion: What to scale and how to scale?
It is essential to develop novel theoretical concepts of scalability that account for the diversities identified within participatory projects observed in our study. The findings can guide future research on strategies to improve the effective implementation and scale-up or participatory physical activity innovations, ensuring that these remain adaptable and sustainable across various settings.
