Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of the technology-enhanced quality physical education (Smart-QPE) lessons on physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, social emotional learning (SEL) skills, and mental well-being in school students.

Detailed Description

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

Students in 4th-7th grades from 17 elementary and middle schools in Michigan are invited to participate in the study. Students will be assessed with cardiorespiratory fitness, social emotional learning skills, physical activity, and mental well-being at a baseline and the post-intervention tests before and after the Smart-QPE intervention. The Smart-QPE intervention include that PE teachers integrate the Heart Zone Moves System into their teaching quality physical education lesson in October and November, 2025.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

During the Smart-Quality Physical Education (PE) intervention, the PE teacher will integrate the Heart Zone Moves System into teaching each PE lessons, where students will wear the heart rate monitor on his/her forearm to self-monitor his/her real time engagement in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA).

Study Groups

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

Smart-Quality Physical Education

For the Smart-Quality Physical Education (Smart-QPE) intervention, PE teachers integrates the Heart Zone Moves System into teaching quality physical education lessons. During the Smart-QPE lessons, students wear the heart rate monitors synced to system to self-monitor their heart rates corresponding to light, moderate, and vigorous intensity physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Smart-QPE

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

During the Smart-QPE intervention spanning in October - November, 2025, the physical education teacher integrate the Heart Zone Moves System into teaching quality physical education lessons; students wear the heart rate monitor on his/her forearm to self-monitor his/her real time engagement in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) to maximize students MVPA time.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* students are 4rd-7th grade students aged 8-14 years old;
* enroll in the school offered physical education classes;
* being able to read and write in English;
* students can skip any questions they don't want to answer as they respond to the survey questions at the baseline and the post-intervention; and
* students can stop the aerobic fitness test at the baseline and the post-intervention

Exclusion Criteria

1. students cannot complete the survey, which means that students had difficulty understanding the meaning of each item due to severe cognitive impairment informed by the school nurse/social worker,
2. students do not submit the survey on time (within a week),
3. if a student only submit one survey either at baseline or at the post-intervention,
4. students cannot take the aerobic fitness test, which means that students had difficulty moving their body due to severe physical impairment informed by school nurse/social worker.
