Brief Summary

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

The Painted Playgrounds Aim 2 (Assessment) project will examine the effects of a stenciling intervention aimed at increasing physical activity and improving fundamental motor skill functioning of preschool aged children. 72 children from local licensed childcare centers will participate in individual assessments at baseline and follow-up 6-8 weeks later. Assessments include height/weight, surveys and wearing a physical activity monitor (accelerometer) for 7 days. A parent/legal guardian will provide consent for their child to participate and will also complete a brief survey about their child's lifestyle and habits.

Study Groups

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

Intervention

Participants attending the childcare centers randomized to this arm will receive the stencil activities after baseline assessments have been completed. We will follow-up with assessments after 6-8 weeks

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Playground Stencils

Intervention Type OTHER

The stencils (hopscotch, agility trail, foursquare, bullseye, etc.) will be painted on the playgrounds at each childcare center. A toolkit and training video will be distributed to staff at each center to aid in instructing the children on how to perform the tasks.

Wait-List

Participants attending the childcare centers randomized to this arm will receive the stencil activities approximately 8 weeks after enrolling, after baseline and follow-up assessments have been completed.
