An interventional study of Smart-QPE in Smart-Quality Physical Education, sponsored by University of Michigan. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 8 Years to 14 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-22.
Sponsored by University of Michigan · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of the study was 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.
Students in 4th-7th grades from 17 elementary and middle schools in Michigan were invited to participate in the study. Students were 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 included that PE teachers integrate the Heart Zone Moves System into their teaching quality physical education lesson in October and November, 2025.
University of Michigan is the lead sponsor of 1,475 studies on the registry; 196 are open to participants now.
Of its 162 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 128 (79%) have results posted.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Behavioral: Smart-QPE
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.
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
The MVPA during the Smart-QPE lessons was objectively measured by using the Heart Zone Moves System, which is synced to each student's heart rate monitor wore on their forearms.
Time frame: During the Smart-QPE intervention period (up to two months).
PACER test
The PE teacher administered the PACER test to students for measuring their cardiorespiratory fitness assessed during a regular PE lesson.
Time frame: Baseline test and post-intervention test (up to 4 months).
Assessing Social Emotional Learning Skills Questionnaire
Students' social emotional learning skills were assessed by completing the Qualtrics Survey. This is online platform survey includes this social emotional learning outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and post-intervention test (up to 4 months).
The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children
Students completed the Qualtrics Survey, including Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children. Students responded to 7 items describing a specific setting to engage in physical activity on 5 point-rating scale.
Time frame: Baseline and post-intervention test (up to 4 months).
Mental Health and Well-Being questionnaire
Students completed the Qualtrics Survey, including mental health and mental well-being questionnaire.
Time frame: Baseline and post-intervention test (up to 4 months).
Plan to share: Undecided — In the IRB-approved consent form, we did not indicate that we will share IPD with other researchers.
