Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Primary Research Question: Does the PLAYshop program increase preschool-aged children's physical literacy, including fundamental movement skills and motivation and enjoyment, compared to controls?
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Research Questions:
Primary: Does the PLAYshop program increase preschool-aged children's physical literacy, including fundamental movement skills and motivation and enjoyment, compared to controls? Secondary: Does the PLAYshop program increase preschool-aged children's physical activity and co-participation in physical activity with parents, compared to controls? Tertiary: 1) Does the PLAYshop program increase parents' capability, motivation, and opportunity to support preschool-aged children's physical literacy development, compared to controls? 2) What is the level of, and factors that influence, implementation at the family and program delivery level?
Hypotheses:
Increases in preschool-aged children's fundamental movement skills, motivation and enjoyment, physical activity, and parent-child co-participation in physical activity will be greater in the intervention group, compared to the control group. Additionally, increase in parents' capability, motivation, and opportunity to support preschool-aged children's physical literacy development will be greater in the intervention group, compared to the control group.

SINGLE
Research Coordinator: The research coordinator will be aware of the group allocations as they will be in charge of coordinating random assignment and have to schedule participants into workshops and other measures based on their specific allocation.
Outcomes Assessors: Research assistants who score children's fundamental movement skills based on recorded videos will not be told explicitly if a participant is part of the intervention or control group. Though there is a possibility that they may recall group assignment from previous data collection sessions they led.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PLAYshop Intervention
Participants will receive a 60 minute virtual physical literacy workshop, an equipment goody-bag with basic play equipment and printed resources, and access to a digital app with an online toolkit and four bi-weekly boosters lessons.
PLAYshop
The intervention includes: 1. Educational Training - the 60 min virtual workshop will be delivered by a trained facilitator. Parents will be introduced to physical literacy via education, group discussion, and active participation in fundamental movement skills (FMS) based activities with their child. 2. Distribution of Education Resources- Parents will be sent physical literacy and physical activity printed resources. 3. Material resources -parents will also be provided a bag of inexpensive active play equipment (e.g., ball, bean bag, balloons). 4. Provide Follow-up Support- After the workshop, participants will gain access to an app with an online toolkit including new active play ideas, tips, and equipment they can make at home for active play. Additionally, participants will receive four bi-weekly booster lessons that include key workshop messages, support and encouragement for parents, reflection and check-in questions, and new activities to try with their child.
Control
Participants will receive the 60 minute virtual physical literacy workshop, equipment goody-bag, and access to the digital app after completing 2-month follow-up measures.
