The adoption of classroom-based physical activity interventions in elementary schools is nearly universal (92%), but fewer than 22% teachers who implement breaks achieve a dose 10 min/day. Dissemination and implementation science frameworks provide systematic approach to identifying overcoming barriers likely impede successful fidelity evidence-based interventions. This review highlights the development subsequent tailoring intervention, Interrupting Prolonged sitting with ACTivity (InPACT), for delivery low-resource using focused on equity. Unlike most classroom interventions, tailored InPACT includes suite strategies (methods or techniques that support adoption, implementation, sustainment program practice) and, thus, has been designed dissemination. These were increasing teacher self-efficacy reducing multilevel promote intervention fidelity, effectiveness, sustainment.
