About
Study based a multicomponent school-based intervention during the school-day (i.e., Physically active learning, active breaks, and active recess) on Physical Activity, health, educational, and cognition outcomes in adolescents.
Full description
MOVESCHOOLS is a quasi-experimental study coordinated by fully qualified researchers in physical activity and sport sciences from two universities [University of Cadiz (UCA) and University of Extremadura (UEX), Spain]. This study is aimed at year 1 to year 3 from Secondary Education students (11-16 years old), belonging to 10 schools in Spain (5 schools in Cadiz and 5 schools in Caceres). The schools will be assigned to a control group (n = 5 schools and 400 students) and an intervention group (n = 5 schools and 400 students). The intervention will last 6 months, and will consist of three components:
Before and after the intervention, Physical Activity and sedentary time will be assessed by accelerometry, health-related fitness levels by field tests, body composition parameters by anthropometry, academic performance by school grades, positive health (quality of life and self-perception of health) by questionnaire, and cognitive parameters (executive functions and mathematical fluency) by specific cognition tests. In weeks 8 and 16, Physical Activity and sedentary time will also be evaluated as intermediate measures.
At the end of the intervention the researchers will determine the changes of the main outcome variables. Likewise, the main hypotheses raised will be:
