简要总结
Intervention targets youth ages 14 - 19 participating in soccer teams. The intervention group will be given face to face nutrition lessons and have access to an online immersive learning environment. The comparison group will not. The project will test if the immersive learning environment is effective in preventing unhealthy weight gain.
详细描述
Active youth are just as likely to develop poor dietary habits that can contribute to obesity later in life, after high school sports has ended. However, youth in sports may provide a key "window of opportunity" to teach them about eating health foods if that information is tied to sport performance. This project will test to see if that is true.
The virtual world is an idea medium for learning for this project. The project will test whether it indeed can result in behavior change more effectively than just more traditional face to face learning.

结局指标
主要结局
Nutrition: Meet specific good groups dietary recommendation/guideline for fruit, vegetables, fat, and sugar intakes.
时间窗: Change from baseline at 12 and 24 months later
Intakes of fat, sugar, fruits and vegetables are measured by self-reported screener using the Block Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ). Change in intake frequencies are compared baseline, 12 and 24 months later.
Physical activity: Meet moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendation.
时间窗: Change from baseline at 12 and 24 months later
MVPA is measured by total steps and minutes per day with the use of a wearable lifestyle tracker such as the Fitbit. Average steps during soccer season and outside soccer season are compared.
Sleep about 8 hours/day.
时间窗: Change from baseline at 12 and 24 months later
Together with MVPA, sleep is measured by average number of sleep hours per day as self-reported by participants via written and/or electronic surveys .
