What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Running skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Time frame: 2 years

  2. Weight transferring skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Time frame: 2 years

  3. hand dribbling skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Time frame: 2 years

  4. underhand catching skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 11, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
