Review Meta AnalysisThe effect of walking on risk factors for cardiovascular disease: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised control trials.
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised control trials that examined the effect of walking on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. ⋯ Walking interventions improve many risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This underscores the central role of walking in physical activity for health promotion.

ReviewImplementation of school based physical activity interventions: a systematic review.
Implementation science is an emerging area in physical activity (PA) research. We sought to establish the current state of the evidence related to implementation of school-based PA models to explore 1) the relationship between implementation and health outcomes, and 2) factors that influence implementation. ⋯ Implementation evaluation supports scale-up of effective school-based PA interventions and thus population-level change. Our review serves as a call to action to 1) address the link between implementation and outcome within the school-based PA literature and 2) improve and standardize definitions and measurement of implementation.
