- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Physical activity counts per minute: School staff physical activity will be assessed using ActiGraph accelerometers (Model GT3X+; and GT3X model), which are worn on the wrist much like a watch. Accelerometers are the gold standard for measuring physical activity in adults as they are small, light, acceptable and provide an objective, valid and reliable way of measuring physical activity in adults. School staff will be asked by trained research assistants, blinded to group allocation, to wear the accelerometers during waking hours for seven consecutive days. [Baseline and 6-months post-baseline.];Staff moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) will be measured as per above accelerometry.[Baseline and 6-months post baseline.]
