| Scientific title | A block randomised controlled trial evaluating the effect of a multilevel intervention to promote physical activity in adolescents |
| Study acronym | Space |
| Study objectives | The aim of the study is to assess the effect of a multilevel intervention on adolescent daily physical activity and physical fitness in seven intervention schools compared with seven control schools. |
| Ethics approval(s) | The study has been considered by the Danish Ethical Committee and they concluded that formal ethics approval was not required. This project is registered at the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) (ref: 2009-41-3628). |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Physical activity and physical fitness |
| Intervention | The intervention will comprise four areas. The intervention areas will be aimed at: 1. Active transport 2. The school's outdoor areas 3. Playspots 4. Organised physical fitness For each of the intervention areas, a number of physical improvements will be implemented in the districts to either modify existing structures or to establish new ones. Furthermore, the physical structural enhancement, distributed on the interventions, will be followed up by organisational interventions that support the possibilities of activity by use of, for instance, activity assistants, changed access conditions or traffic action plans. It is a common feature of the intervention areas that they will be manageable for a municipality to establish and maintain as far as size and financial level are concerned. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Average daily physical activity measured with accelerometer (counts/min/child/day). The primary outcome will be supported by analyses of time spent in moderate to vigorous activity and time spent sedentary measured with accelerometer (min/day). |
| Secondary outcome measures | Secondary outcome measures: 1. Overweight measured with waist circumference (cm) 2. Physical fitness measured with 'the Andersen test' (metre) 3. Active transport to/from school measured with diary (times/week) 4. Physical activity in recess periods measured with accelerometer (counts/min) Predefined explorative outcome measures: 1. The primary and secondary outcome measures will be analyzed for four different subpopulations defined by: physical activity at baseline, parental socioeconomic status, weight status at baseline and gender 2. Grip strength measured with digital hand dynamometer (kg) 3. Time spent on television viewing, computer or other sedentary activities measured with questionnaire (hours/day) 4. Time spent on biking measured with diary (times/week) 5. School satisfaction measured with questionnaire (index five categories of liking school) 6. Self-rated health measured with questionnaire (index four categories) 7. Social network measured with questionnaire (time spent with friends and family) 8. Experience of subjective health complaints measured with questionnaire (numbers and times of multiple experienced health complaints) |
