简要总结
In Malaysia, Middle Eastern adolescents are going through changes in living status, yet few studies show that overweight and obesity are prevalent among Arabic secondary school students. There have not been any intervention studies among Middle Eastern adolescents in Malaysia. The current study aims to determine the effects of an intervention program on physical activity and healthy diet behavior among Middle Eastern adolescent students in Arabic schools in Malaysia
详细描述
A cluster randomized controlled study will be conducted among 250 Middle Eastern adolescent students in Arabic schools in Malaysia. The intervention and control schools will be selected and allocated randomly. The intervention group will have six weeks of fortnightly six sessions (45 minutes), while the control group will have their regular curriculums and normal physical activity routine. Anthropometric questionnaires include knowledge, attitude, and practice of lifestyle, physical activity, adolescent sedentary activity, food assessment, and health belief model questionnaire. Data will be collected from intervention and control groups at baseline, post-intervention, and tow month follow-up after the intervention. Data will be analyzed by using the (SPSS) software version 25. Descriptive statistics will be used to distribute and summarize the data. The normality of variables will be tested by The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Skewness & Kurtosis test. A P-value < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. One Way ANOVA will be used to determine whether any significant within group differences existed over time for the selected variables if the data is normally distributed, while Friedman's test will be used if the data is not normally distributed. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) will be used to test the effect of the intervention program for the selected variables (outcomes) between & within-group at baseline, six weeks, and one month after intervention which is adjusted for clustering

结局指标
主要结局
Change Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Nutrition and Physical Activity.
时间窗: [Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline. Repeated measurement: Timepoint 2 = week 12 (Five-week post-intervention)]]
The Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Nutrition and Physical Activity will be measured using a self-report instrument Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Nutrition and Physical Activity Questionnaire (KAP-Q). The questionnaire consists of 73 items: knowledge (30), attitude (22), and practice (21). The presented knowledge part consists of 30 items to determine participants' knowledge level on Nutrition and Physical Activity. There are multiple-choice questions ell be each choice has "True", "False", and "I do not know" response options. Having a score above the mean means good knowledge. In the attitude section, there are 22 items with five Likert scales for assessing the attitude. A more positive attitude has higher scores. Practice includes 21 questions with five Likert scales for assessing the practice. A higher score shows more positive practice.
Change Physical Activity of the adolescent.
时间窗: [Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline. Repeated measurement: Timepoint 2 = week 12 (Five-week post-intervention)]]
The Physical Activity will be measured using a self-report instrument Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C). PAQ-C gives an overview of physical activity levels among participants of this study because PAQ-C is suitable for school children (8-14 years of age). PAQ-C has ten items. Each of the 9 PAQ-C questionnaire items is scored from 1 (low physical activity) to 5 (high physical activity), and a mean score of all items constitutes the overall PAQ-C score.
