Physical Inactivity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Developing a Physical Activity Program Based on Behavior Change Models in Children and Investigation of Its Efficiency. A Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of our study is to develop a physical activity program based on behavioral change models for children and to investigate the effectiveness of the physical activity program we have developed for children attending primary school. There is a limited number of studies in the literature on exercise habits in children, and there is no evidence on which model will provide better results when integrated into school or training programs. Although behavioral modification-based physical activity programs for children have been established and their effectiveness has been investigated in many different countries, there are limited randomized controlled studies on this subject. Currently, there are no randomized control studies on the topic in Turkey. Our study will be the first study in which a school-based physical activity program based on behavioral change models in Turkish children is developed and its effectiveness is investigated. We believe that our study will contribute to the development of new models and protocols to improve the health of children in Turkey and the world and to provide behavior change methods that are research-based to combat physical inactivity.

Primary | The Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity Questionnaire | This questionnaire will test the changes in behavior towards physical activity in children. The scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions, namely self-regulation and personal barriers, and a total of 15 statements. All statements in the scale are scored with a 5-point Likert Type rating as "1. I totally disagree,…, 5. I totally agree". | Change from baseline to 8 weeks | |
Primary | The physical Activity Stages Of Change Questionnaire | This questionnaire will specifiy which stage of change the child is in according to the transtheoretical model. Transtheoretical Model, explains whether the individual is ready to change their behavior and describes the behavior change process that occurs in stages. This will help us know how to modify the program to work out well for each child. | Change from baseline to 8 weeks | |
Primary | Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity | This scale will evaluate the level of motivation to participate in physical activity. | Change from baseline to 8 weeks | |
Primary | The physical activity efficacy scale | This scale consists of 5 dimensions and 26 items (at school: 6 items, transportation: 3 items, indoor: 5 items, leisure and recreation: 6 items, in-school travel and transportation: 6 items). The scale consists of two parts. In the first part, demographic information is asked, and in the second part, how much they trust themselves to take part in physical activities in the five physical activity areas. A 10-point Likert-type range was used to score the items (0= "I am not confident at all" and 100= "I am totally confident"). The overall average score is between 0 and 100. High scores will indicate a high level of physical activity efficacy. | Change from baseline to 8 weeks | |
Primary | The Physical Activity Questionnaire | It will assess physical activity levels in children. It is is a self-administered, 7-day activity recall tool. | Change from baseline to 8 weeks |
