Study 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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Intervention

    Participants in the intervention arm will receive the Hoosier Sport intervention 2-3 times a week (twice in PE class, and once in home room). This will involve learning new sport, exercise, and nutrition knowledge, as well as developing leadership skills.

    Behavioral: Hoosier Sport

  • No intervention
    Control

    Participants in the control arm will not receive the Hoosier Sport intervention.

Interventions

  • BehavioralHoosier Sport

    Hoosier Sport is a sport-based youth development intervention. The intervention targets physical activity levels, exercise and nutrition knowledge, and leadership skills. The intervention is delivered in person twice a week (Tue/Thu) during PE class. Each class lasts 45-minutes, and covers sport skills, and then a brief lecture and activity on exercise/nutrition/leadership skills. Additionally, once a week Hoosier Sport is delivered virtually (via Zoom) during home room for 20-minutes. This involves activities to allow the students to be active during the school-day.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)

    How feasible the intervention was from the perspective of the participants. This is measured through questionnaire.

    Time frame: Measured at week 0 and week 9

  2. Acceptability of Intervention Measure (IAM)

    How acceptable the intervention is to the participants. This is measured through questionnaire.

    Time frame: Measured at week 0 and week 9

  3. Intervention Appropriateness Measure (AIM)

    How appropriate the intervention is to the participants. This is measured through questionnaire.

    Time frame: Measured at week 0 and week 9

Secondary outcomes

  1. Daily Steps of Participants

    Accelerometers (Axivity - AX3 model) will be used to track daily steps

    Time frame: Week 1 (for 7 days), and week 9 (for 7 days)

  2. Daily Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity of Participants

    Accelerometers (Axivity - AX3 model) will be used to track daily MVPA

    Time frame: Week 1 (for 7 days), and week 9 (for 7 days)

  3. Heart Rate of Participants

    heart rate measured via a blood pressure monitor

    Time frame: HR will be taken at week 0 and week 9 before and following the 6-minute walk test.

  4. Blood Pressure of Participants

    Blood pressure measured via a blood pressure monitor

    Time frame: BP will be taken at week 0 and week 9 before and following the 6-minute walk test.

  5. Basic Psychological Needs of Participants in Intervention Environment

    Basic Psychological Needs and Satisfaction and Frustration scale (BPNSF). This entails feelings/perceptions of autonomy, relatedness, competence, enjoyment, satisfaction, and frustration in the study setting.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9

  6. Physical Literacy of Participants

    the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy second addition (CAPL-2) will be used. A higher score on the CAPL-2 indicates higher physical literacy.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9

  7. Cardiovascular Fitness Levels of Participants

    the 6-minute walk test will be used to assess changes in fitness. Greater distance walked in the 6 minute time frame is related to greater levels of cardiovascular fitness.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9

  8. Muscular Endurance Levels of Participants

    The plank test will be used to assess changes in fitness. The longer the plank is held, the greater the muscular endurance of the participant.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9

  9. Self-Reported Weekly Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity of Participants

    The Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy Second Edition (CAPL-2) will be used to assess self-reported weekly MVPA.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9

  10. Nutrition Knowledge of Participants

    A survey will assess basic knowledge of nutrition. We will use knowledge of SNAP-Ed, the United State Department of Agriculture's recommended curriculum. There will be three questions, with a high score reflecting greater nutrition knowledge.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9

  11. Policy, Systems, and Environmental Factors Influencing Participant Physical Activity and Nutrition Behavior.

    a survey will collect data on Policy, Systems and Environmental (PSE) changes using a 5 questions guided by the SNAP-Ed curriculum. Higher scores will indicate better PSE support for physical activity and healthy nutrition opportunities for the participants in their school environment.

    Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 9
