Scalability and scaling-up strategy of a physical activity policy intervention in Australian childcare centres.

ABSTRACT: There is an urgent need for scalable interventions to promote physical activity in early childhood. An early childhood education and care (ECEC) physical activity policy intervention with implementation support strategies (Play Active) has been proposed for scale-up in Australia.
