Clinical Trial Summary

A non-randomised mixed methods controlled before-and-after study. The study evaluated the effects of a classroom-based physical activity intervention in primary school children on physical activity. Two schools were allocated to deliver the classroom-based intervention for eight weeks, and three schools continued with their usual school routine.


Description:

The primary aim of this study was to test the feasibility and potential effect of a classroom-based, curriculum-embedded intervention - ExCiTE; Exercise Classes in the Teaching Environment- on total physical activity and moderate to vigorous physical activity. The secondary aim was to measure and describe health-related quality of life and physical fitness components, and to gain understanding of the experiences, views and attitudes towards the ExCiTE intervention among participating children and schoolteachers.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Fitness Test:Balance Flamingo balance test (from Eurofit Protocol). Stand on a wooden beam for 30 seconds and try to balance for 30 seconds. Complete with each foot Balance for 30 seconds on each leg. Test completed on one day of testing. Participants balances on one leg on a beam for 30 seconds. The number of times the participants has to put the foot on the floor during the 30 seconds is the score.
Other Fitness Test:Flexibility Sit and reach test. Sit against the sit and reach box, lean forwards and stretch as far forward as possible. Measured to the nearest cm. The higher the number, the better the flexbility. Best of three attempts on one day of testing.
Other Fitness Test: Speed Fitness Test: Speed 10 x 5m shuttle run (from Eurofit Protocol). Run between two cones 5m apart 10 times. The lower the score, the better one attempt on one day of testing.
Other Fitness Test: Hand Eye Coordination Plate tapping - tap the hand on two different colour spots - using the dominant hand. Best of three attempts, one one day of testing. Time is recorded. The faster the time the better the hand eye coordination
Other Fitness Test: Explosive Strength Standing broad jump. Jump as far forwards as possible keeping both feet together. The measurement is taken from the heel on the furthest back landing foot Best of three attempts, one one day of testing. Distance is recorded. The further the distance the better the explosive strength
Other Fitness Test: muscular strength and endurance Sit up on a mat (from Eurofit Protocol) One day of testing. The number of sit ups completed in 30 seconds. The higher the number equates to a better performance
Primary Amount of time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) Daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (minutes) collected by wearing an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days. Accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X) worn for 7 days. Analysed using Evenson cutpoints.
Primary Total physical activity Total physical activity measured by counts per minute Accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X) worn on the hip for 7 consecutive days. Analysed using Evenson cutpoints
Secondary Aerobic Fitness Aerobic Endurance. Multistage fitness test 1 Day of testing
Secondary Health-Related Quality of Life 27 -item KIDSCREEN questionnaire. Assesses health-related quality of life across five dimensions: physical well-being, psychological well-being, parent relations and autonomy, social support and peers and school environment.
