Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is designed to compare two methods of delivering short (\~10 min) physical activity breaks that will occur during the regular school day for 3 years. Schools will be randomized to deliver physical activity breaks led by either the regular classroom teacher or by a remote instructor through a video in the classroom. Both delivery methods will promote a variety of whole body movements using large muscle groups. The schools will not be able to choose which group (regular teacher or remote instructor) they will be part of.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PAAC-R

Physical Activity Across the Curriculum-Remote (PAAC-R) will include protocol specific activity breaks delivered remotely via a television in the classroom.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Activity Across the Curriculum

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Activity breaks will be designed for delivery in the classroom without reconfiguration of the classroom space. Activities will emphasize whole body movements, using large muscle groups. Each break includes multiple activities. Each activity lasts about 2 minutes. There will be a total of about 20 minutes of physical activity done each school day.

PAAC-T

Physical Activity Across the Curriculum-Teacher (PAAC-T) will include protocol specific activity breaks delivered by the classroom teacher.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Activity Across the Curriculum

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Activity breaks will be designed for delivery in the classroom without reconfiguration of the classroom space. Activities will emphasize whole body movements, using large muscle groups. Each break includes multiple activities. Each activity lasts about 2 minutes. There will be a total of about 20 minutes of physical activity done each school day.
