Physical Activity-related Health Competence in Apprenticeship and Vocational Education

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Health Behavior
• Interventions: Behavioral: Tutoring system; Behavioral: BuG lesson

• Registration Number: NCT05018559
• Lead Sponsor: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg

Brief Summary

Although the health-promoting effects of physical activity are well known and apprentices often possess an insufficient amount of physical activity, there is a lack of interventions promoting physical activity in vocational education and training. Against this background, the PArC-AVE project uses a co-creation approach to develop and implement physical activity-promoting interventions tailored to the needs of the target group and the given setting in two vocational education and training institutions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the co-created interventions in vocational education and training, namely the BuG lesson in nursing care and the tutoring system in automotive mechatronics. Therefore, the investigators conducted two non-randomized controlled trials from October 2018 to September 2019.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Intervention group automotive mechatronics	Tutoring system	Participants receive a co-created physical activity intervention called tutoring system.
Intervention group nursing care	BuG lesson	Participants receive a co-created physical activity intervention called BuG lesson (German: 'Bewegt und Gesund'-Stunde; English: PA and health lesson).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in self-reported physical activity: BSA questionnaire	Baseline and 6 to 9 months	The Physical Activity, Exercise, and Sport Questionnaire (Bewegungs- und Sportaktivität Fragebogen; BSA-F) is a German questionnaire that assesses the amount of physical activity during the last four weeks. It differentiates between leisure-time/transportation activities (physical activity score) and sport-/exercise-related activities (sports score). Participants are required to report the frequency and duration of activities executed during the last four weeks. Minutes of leisure-time physical activity per week and sport-/exercise-related activity per week are calculated to get the physical activity and the sports score. Both scores can be combined to receive the overall volume of physical activity completed during leisure-time/transportation and sport-/exercise-related activities.
Changes in physical activity-related health competence: BGK Questionnaire	Baseline and 6 to 9 months	This will be measured by the German version of the Physical Activity-Related Health Competence questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 44 total items that measure three sub-competencies necessary for a health-promoting physical activity behavior: movement competence (20 items; min = 0, max = 17.6), control competence (10 items; min = 0, max = 10.8), physical activity-related self-regulation competence (14 items; min = 0, max = 14.8). Higher scores indicate higher competencies.
