|
Primary |
Change in objectively measured physical activity (PA) |
Change in amount of total physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, measured via accelerometers |
Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
|
Secondary |
Change in objectively measured sedentary behavior (SB) |
Change in amount of total sitting time, measured via accelerometers |
Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
|
Secondary |
Change in subjectively measured Body Mass Index (BMI) |
Change in BMI, measured via self-reported weight and height |
Baseline |
|
Secondary |
Change in determinants of PA |
Change in attitude, parental support, friends' co-participation, perceived social norm, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, measured by validated items (questionnaire) |
Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
|
Secondary |
Change in determinants of SB |
Change in attitude, self-efficacy, personal norm, social norm, social support of sedentary behavior (measured for the context of 1. TV viewing, game-play, and computer use), measured by validated items (questionnaire: correlates of context specific SB, Busschaert, 2015). Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (strongly disagree=1 - strongly agree=5). The average for each correlate will be calculated (meaning that sub scales for one correlate (e.g. attitude) will be combined). |
Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
|
Secondary |
Change in behavior of PA |
Change in active transportation mode to school, measured by validated items (questionnaire: Flemish physical activity questionnaire, Verstaete et al., 2003), that measures the minutes engaged in different types of transportation to school. An average score for each component (walking, cycling, active transportation, passive transportation) will be calculated. Values will be indicated by minutes per day, whereby higher values will represent a better outcome, after reversing passive transportation. |
Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
|
Secondary |
Differences in engagement |
Differences in engagement between intervention group and active control group, measured by validated items (questionnaire: Kids Game Experience Questionnaire), that measures immersion, narrative, pos/neg. affect, flow, absorption/involvement, transportation/immersion, challenge, tension/frustration. A scale ranges from 0 to 4, whereby higher values represent a better outcome. The average scores of the subscales represent each component, and a final averaged score for the GEQ questionnaire will be calcualted. |
