| 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. |
