Scientific title	A randomised controlled trial evaluating the implementation and effectiveness of schools-based programme to promote exercise self-efficacy in children with risk factors for obesity: Steps to Active Kids (STAK)
Study acronym	STAK
Study objectives	Children receiving the STAK intervention will have lower body mass index (BMI), smaller waist circumference, higher levels of self-reported physical activity and higher exercise self-efficacy than children in the control group. Children in the asthma group will have better lung function as assessed by peak flow meter.
Ethics approval(s)	The University of Nottingham Medical School Ethics Committee approved on 12th February 2010 reference (B/10/2009)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Obesity, asthma
Intervention	A stepped approach will be used for the intervention. Following initial screening all children who meet the inclusion criteria will, after informed consent of parent, complete Steps 1 and 2. Children who are above the 97th centile or above 91st centile for children with asthma will be invited to take part in Step 3. Step 1: Participants will be given two Street Dance DVDs which comprise 10 minute daily exercise sessions, including a warm up, learning a new dance move and a cool down. Each DVD covers a two week period (14 different sessions). Sessions have been designed to be short and intensive and have been modelled by an ethnically diverse group of children with a range of body sizes. Children will also be given an Activity Diary to complete which will log their physical activity. Using the well known UK premise of five a day for eating five pieces of fruit or vegetables, children are encouraged to complete and log in the diary five pieces of physical activity a day, thereby meeting the recommended target of 60 minutes. Additional sections highlight the benefits of exercise, a healthy diet and exercising with asthma. The diary is reviewed on a weekly basis and activity reinforced by verbal praise and stickers. Step 2: Children will participate in a fun circuit class held once a week for 4 weeks. The class, designed to maintain activity levels and motivate, comprises a circuit of two minute activity stations. Participants will record their scores after each activity station and a pedometer will be given as a motivational tool. Participants will continue to complete their diary. Step 3: Comprises a short motivational interview including goal setting follow by a review session. Progress on these goals will be reviewed at 4 month follow up.
