Registration Number
NCT06280859
Lead Sponsor
Indiana University
Brief 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.

InterventionHoosier SportParticipants 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.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intervention Appropriateness Measure (AIM)Measured at week 0 and week 9

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

Acceptability of Intervention Measure (IAM)Measured at week 0 and week 9

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

Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)Measured at week 0 and week 9

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Muscular Endurance Levels of ParticipantsAssessed at week 0 and week 9

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.

Nutrition Knowledge of ParticipantsAssessed at week 0 and week 9

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.

Heart Rate of ParticipantsHR will be taken at week 0 and week 9 before and following the 6-minute walk test.

heart rate measured via a blood pressure monitor

Basic Psychological Needs of Participants in Intervention EnvironmentAssessed at week 0 and week 9

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.

Physical Literacy of ParticipantsAssessed at week 0 and week 9

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

Cardiovascular Fitness Levels of ParticipantsAssessed at week 0 and week 9

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.

Daily Steps of ParticipantsWeek 1 (for 7 days), and week 9 (for 7 days)

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

Daily Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity of ParticipantsWeek 1 (for 7 days), and week 9 (for 7 days)

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

Blood Pressure of ParticipantsBP will be taken at week 0 and week 9 before and following the 6-minute walk test.

Blood pressure measured via a blood pressure monitor

Self-Reported Weekly Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity of ParticipantsAssessed at week 0 and week 9

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

Policy, Systems, and Environmental Factors Influencing Participant Physical Activity and Nutrition Behavior.Assessed at week 0 and week 9

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.
