简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an active break program at school on physical activity levels and enjoyment, and on-task behavior in children.
详细描述
The protocol will include third and fourth-grade students (children aged 8 to 10 years) from elementary schools in the Valparaíso Region, Chile. Four school classes from two schools (intervention and control school) will be included. The intervention school will carry out the active break program, ACTIVA-MENTE This program consists of the application of a 4-and-a-half-minute video with moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity. These breaks will take place 6 times a day in classes for 6 weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Activa-Mente (Intervention)
The active break program involves the presentation of video (4.5 min) with moderate-to-vigorous physical activities. These active breaks will be performed 6 times per day during 6 weeks.
干预措施: Activa-Mente (Behavioral)
Control group
This group of students will not be exposed to the intervention.
结局指标
主要结局
On-task behavior
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Direct Behaviour Rating Scale will be used to measure on-task behavior at the individual level. This scale measures academically engaged, respectful and disruptive behavior. For each domain, the scale uses a per cent grading system in which 0% indicates 'never' while 100% indicates 'always'. At the group level, the Classroom Behaviour and Assets Survey will be used teachers who will be asked to indicate the proportion of the class displaying on-task behavior as defined by the individual behavior tool. Response options include: 0 (0 students), 1 (1-2 students), 2 (a few students), 3 (about ¼ of the class), 4 (about ½ of the class), 5 (about ¾ of the class), 6 (most of the class), and 7 (all of the class).
Physical activity
时间窗: 6 weeks
Physical activity will be measured with waist-worn ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers for seven days. Physical activity intensities will be derived from the accelerometer counts. Evenson cut points will be used to classify counts into physical activity intensities. Physical activity will be classified as light, moderate-to-vigorous and total physical activity.
次要结局
- Physical activity enjoyment(6 weeks)
