Integrating Behaviour Change Techniques into the Health Promoting Sports Club Framework: A Review and Retrospective Coding Using the BCT Taxonomy 1: Université Côte d'Azur, France; 2: Université de Lorraine, France Purpose: Sports clubs are important community settings for health promotion. The Health Promoting Sports Club (HPSC) model provides a comprehensive framework for embedding health promotion across system levels and health determinants, however, evidence on how specific Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) are applied within this framework remains limited. This study aimed to examine the use of BCTs in sport-based health interventions and their alignment with the HPSC model. Methods: A two-step study design was applied. First, a literature review examined the extent to which BCTs are explicitly reported in sport setting. Second, twenty trials from Hodder et al. (2025) were retrospectively coded using the BCT Taxonomy v1. Coding was conducted independently by two researchers, with inter-rater reliability assessed using Cohen’s kappa. Results: Only two sport-based interventions explicitly reported BCT use, indicating a substantial evidence gap. Across the 20 trials, 13 BCTs groups and 39 subgroups were identified, reflecting limited use of the 93 techniques included in the BCT Taxonomy v1. Most BCTs belonged to the groups: Feedback and monitoring, Shaping knowledge, Repetition and substitution, Social support, and Goals and planning. Inter-rater reliability ranged from fair to almost perfect (κ = 0.22–0.88). Conclusions: Sports clubs-based health interventions apply a narrow range of BCTs, often implicitly and with limited theoretical transparency. More explicit, systematic application and reporting of BCTs is needed to strengthen health promotion practice in sports clubs. Support/Funding Source: research is funded between Santé publique France, the Ministry of Sport, Youth and Community, University Côte d'Azur and the University of Lorraine. | |
