Brief Summary

The clinical trial aims to develop and pilot test a multilevel physical activity (PA) intervention called the Hoosier Sport program. The study follows a participatory co-design protocol involving youth, parents, and community leaders to provide direct input into the intervention's design. The ultimate goal is to contribute to health equity in the community by promoting sustainable physical activity. Hoosier Sport involves delivering enhanced physical education classes, teaching about nutrition and exercise, as well as developing leadership skills in middle school rural students.The intervention will last for 8-weeks with PE classes occur twice a week. Additionally, Hoosier Sport will create more opportunities for students to be active at school (e.g., in home room) through providing virtual classes and other activities.
