Among the 27 studies in Motor Activity by Arizona State University, from their registry updates:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a school-based intervention, Operation ToneUp, can improve nutrition knowledge, fitness, and blood pressure in schoolchildren enrolled in grades 3-6. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare students participating in the intervention to students at comparison schools to see if fitness, nutrition knowledge, and blood pressure differ.
Participants in the intervention arm will complete two 20-minute web-based sessions focused on nutrition and fitness during class time. Participants in the comparison arm will not be exposed to Operation ToneUp. All participants will engage in pre- and post- testing including:
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Students in the intervention arm will complete two 20-minute web-based activities designed to promote nutrition knowledge and fitness in the classroom over eight weeks.
Behavioral: Nutrition and fitness intervention
Students in the comparison arm will not be exposed to the Operation ToneUp intervention and will continue with typical classroom sessions during school.
School-based nutrition and fitness program using interactive web platform twice weekly for 20 minutes each session delivered in classroom settings.
Upper body strength
Number of push-ups completed with set form according to the Fitnessgram protocol to a set cadence * Correct form includes hands under shoulders, legs straight with toes tucked under, feet no wider than shoulder width apart, arms bend down to 90 degrees with back straight once every 3 seconds * Test ends after second form break * Range of scores includes 0 to 75 maximum
Time frame: From enrollment to end of 8-week intervention
Core strength
Number of curl-ups completed with set form according to the Fitnessgram protocol to a set cadence - Correct form includes knees bent and feet flat, palms flat and fingertips straight; fingertips slide over a 4.5 inch piece of fabric while curling up with heels in contact with floor and head touching back to mat on return once every 3 seconds - Test ends after second form break - Range of scores includes 0 to 75 maximum
Time frame: From enrollment to end of 8-week intervention
Cardiovascular endurance
Number of laps completed to a set cadence without breaking form; Correct form - run from one line to another 20 meters away before the beep; Beep is played with standard Fitnessgram audio and gets progressively faster with time; Test ends when a runner can no longer keep up with beeps and score is recorded; Range of scores is 0 to 247 over a possible span of 22 minutes.
Time frame: From enrollment to end of 8-week intervention
Nutrition knowledge

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for May 2027, 8 months later.
Of 5,147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's planned 8 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 5,207 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.
