Brief Summary

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

Currently, 10 million children participate in afterschool programs (ASPs) each day, and ASPs provide a great opportunity to enhance children's health outside of the regular school environment, particularly given the decline in physical education. This proposed, randomized cluster, controlled trial will examine the immediate (pre- to post-test) and sustained (1-year post-intervention follow-up) effects of CHAMP-ASP on physical activity (primary outcome), motor performance, perceived motor competence, health-related physical fitness, and weight status. CHAMP-ASP will be implemented by ASP staff and will be conducted in ASPs located in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor, Michigan. Children (N = 264; CHAMP-ASP=132 and control=132) K-2 graders (typically ages 5-8 years) will participate 35 minutes/day X 3-4 days/week for 19 weeks (dose of 1995 - 2240 minutes). The aims are to: a) examine the immediate and sustained effects of CHAMP-ASP on physical activity, motor performance, and perceived motor competence relative to the control ASP, b) examine the immediate and sustained effects of CHAMP-ASP on secondary health outcomes - health-related physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength), and weight status compared to children in schools randomized to control ASP, and c) determine if perceived motor competence mediates the effect of CHAMP-ASP on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Promoting health-enhancing and sustainable physical activity levels across childhood and adolescence contributes to adult health. The Children's Health Activity Motor Program (CHAMP) is an evidence-based intervention that demonstrates impactful results on motor performance, perceived motor competence, and physical activity in physical education and movement-based settings. Currently, 10 million children participate in afterschool programs (ASPs) each day, and ASPs provide a great opportunity to enhance children's health outside of the regular school environment, particularly given the decline in physical education. This proposed, randomized cluster, controlled trial will examine the immediate (pre- to post-test) and sustained (1-year post-intervention follow-up) effects of CHAMP-ASP on physical activity (primary outcome), motor performance, perceived motor competence, health-related physical fitness, and weight status. CHAMP-ASP will be implemented by ASP staff and will be conducted in ASPs located in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor, Michigan. Children (N = 264; CHAMP-ASP=132 and control=132) K-2 graders (typically ages 5-8 years) will participate 35 minutes/day X 3-4 days/week for 19 weeks (dose of 1995 - 2240 minutes). The aims are to: a) examine the immediate and sustained effects of CHAMP-ASP on physical activity, motor performance, and perceived motor competence relative to the control ASP, b) examine the immediate and sustained effects of CHAMP-ASP on secondary health outcomes - health-related physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength), and weight status compared to children in schools randomized to control ASP, and c) determine if perceived motor competence mediates the effect of CHAMP-ASP on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. The long-term goal is to provide a sustainable, ecologically-relevant, and evidence-based program during the early elementary years that is health-enhancing and increases physical activity in school-age children. Findings could significantly influence future physical activity interventions and support a sustainable, ecologically-relevant (delivered by ASP staff) evidence-based program (i.e., CHAMP) that contributes to long-term health-enhancing physical activity and health in children.

Study Groups

CHAMP-ASP

CHAMP, is a mastery climate motor skills intervention, that provides children the opportunity to establish behaviors that reinforce decision-making while participating in a motor activity tasks. Children will participate in CHAMP for 35 minutes/day 3-4 days per week for 19 weeks.

Each 35-min session consists of three parts:

1. 3-5 min of motor skill introductory activity that includes a group motor activity, the teaching of the lesson that includes a demonstration and understanding of developmentally appropriate learning clues;
2. 25 min of motor skill instruction and practice (i.e., 'active motor engagement'), participants will be encouraged to move through 3-4 motor activity stations that align with the TARGET structure; and
3. 3 -5 min motor skill closure activity that involves a review of the lesson and critical elements.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Motor Skills Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The behavioral motor skill intervention (CHAMP) is an intervention strategy that uniquely address differences in children's development. CHAMP does not equate to a "one size fits all" approach. Children will be in an environment that promotes opportunities for them to development improvement in motor skills based on their specific individual needs and choices. The CHAMP intervention promotes a mastery climate that allows each individual child to be successful and learn while promoting intrinsic motivation and autonomy. CHAMP consists of 35 minutes/day X 3-4 days/week for 19 weeks (dose of 1995 - 2240 minutes). Each session will consist of three parts: (a) 3-5 min of motor skill introductory activity, (b) 25 min of motor skill instruction and practice, and (c) 3-5 min motor skill closure activity.

Control - Standard of Practice

The Control (standard of practice) condition will be the school typical ASP and will be implemented according to the existing procedures.
