Physical Activity Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Cluster Randomized Control Trial to Assess the Impact of Active Learning on Child Activity, Attention Control, and Academic Outcomes: The Texas I-CAN Trial
Background: Active learning is designed to pair physical activity with the teaching of
academic content. This has been shown to be a successful strategy to increase physical
activity and improve academic performance. The existing designs have confounded academic
lessons with physical activity. As a result, it is impossible to determine if the subsequent
improvement in academic performance is due to: (1) physical activity, (2) the academic
content of the active learning, or (3) the combination of academic material taught through
physical activity.
Methods / Design: The Texas I-CAN project is a 3-arm, cluster randomized control trial in
which 28 elementary schools were assigned to either control, math intervention, or spelling
intervention. As a result, each intervention condition serves as an unrelated content
control for the other arm of the trial, allowing the impact of physical activity to be
separated from the content. That is, schools that perform only active math lessons provide a
content control for the spelling schools on spelling outcomes. This also calculated direct
observations of attention and behavior control following periods of active learning.
Discussion: This design is unique in its ability to separate the impact of physical
activity, in general, from the combination of physical activity and specific academic
content. This, in combination with the ability to examine both proximal and distal outcomes
along with measures of time on task will do much to guide the design of future, school-based
interventions.
